Little Known Facts about the Anti-Aging Skin Care Industry

The Anti-Aging Skin Care Industry is a multi-billion dollar business that just keeps getting larger. Search online or observe the size of this section in any supermarket to get a feeling for how large the array of products really is. Billions of dollars are made annually by this industry. Most of us have at least one cream or potion in our home or workplace. The average consumer spends little time researching the ingredients of the products they choose. They assume it is safe to use and will perform as claimed. This industry has many little known facts that, as consumers, we should be aware of and understand how they may affect us.

Contact

One fairly common industry trait is companies avoiding contact. It seems that most manufacturers try to make it hard to be contacted with complaints about their products. They may give contact information on the packaging that is outdated or where messages will go unanswered. Contact via e-mail often returns as undeliverable or is never answered. Generally, this sort of contact difficulty is with companies whose products are not as-advertised and they simply will not deal with you once they have your money.

Fish Oil

The source of omega-3 fatty acids in anti-aging creams is fish oil. Fish oil is very rich in omega-3 fatty acid which plays a very vital role in preventing wrinkles and aging of the skin. Taken internally as a capsule it helps correct nutritional deficiencies. It also helps with the prevention of depression, Alzheimer’s, heart problems and inflammations. It may be applied directly to the skin to help the skin cells become more resilient. In turn, resilient cells make it harder for wrinkles to form.

Scientific research has shown omega-3 fatty acids to play an important part in anti-aging and rejuvenation efforts.

Acne

Acne is a very common ailment often related to oily foods. Not realizing the potential side effect, many people use different skin creams to eliminate the acne. The side effect is the growth of wrinkles. They form when the creams stretch the skin in order to eliminate excess skin oils and dry the pores. Once the skin shrinks to normal, fine lines eventually become evident.

Essential Oils

Many factors contribute to skin losing elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles. Some of these factors are lifestyle factors, aging process, diet, stress, pollution and harmful chemicals in skincare products. An important role in skin health is played by essential oils. They tone the skin, help minimize blemishes and scars and treat acne. Essential oils help prevent, reduce and reverse the effects of aging.

Below is a list of some natural oils you should look for in your anti-aging skin care products.

? Grapeseed oil: natural antioxidant moisturizer that forms a protective film
? Avocado oil: natural penetrating hydrating oil
? Jojoba oil: absorbs easily and deeply, balances sebum production by the skin

Cost of Product

An inexpensive product is just as likely as a very expensive product. What you pay for your skin care has little to do with their effectiveness. It is not so much how much you spend but what you use on your skin that will be reflected on your skin. Using alcohol free products is far more desirable than irritating the skin with alcohol-containing products. Overly dry skin develops wrinkles.

Sun

Extended exposure to the sun will wrinkle your skin. Cumulative effects of years spent walking into the store, walking the dog or chatting outdoors over the fence with the neighbors will cause wrinkles. Only products with high SPF content will help with sun damaged skin.

Irritants

With the use of too many scrubs, AHA’s (Alpha-Hydroxy Acids), BHA’s (Beta Hydroxy Acids) and products that include irritants, you may be damaging your skin and causing breakouts, dryness, irritation and perhaps, wrinkles. Examples of this would be the use of a loofah to clean your face with a scrub or using and an AHA cream with an alcohol astringent. Too many irritating products at one time are very detrimental to young looking, healthy skin.

Anti-Aging Skin Care Secrets

In general, your skin is better off with minimal usage of products. The Anti-Aging Skin Care Industry does not want you to know they utilize useless and irritating ingredients that do nothing or may make your skin worse. They want to equate price with quality and that is simply not true. They want to make you believe that you are buying youth in a bottle.
