We all understand that what goes on the skin goes in the body.  Knowing that does nothing to protect your health unless you do what is outlined here.

Here are the 7 Skin Care Truths: Pay Careful Attention

1.  Most companies offer skin care products that have a combination of ingredients that are mostly worthless and in some cases unsafe.  These products have mainly synthetic and a sparse sprinkling of natural compounds.

2.  Most ingredients that are largely boasted can help your skin in the least.  Mainly because they are topical; they do not penetrate the skin to help the problem.  The ingredients are: collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.  They are just to thick or dense and are not soluble; therefore useless in the product.

3.  Skin care companies have known for years that these ingredients do your skin no good.  Yet it seems the public bought into the deception and continue to pay for product with these three compounds in them.

4.  Another ingredient that is used abundantly in many skin care products is based on petroleum.  Yes, it is derived from crude oil.

You will see mineral oil, petrolatum and paraffin wax promoted as the thing to get when in fact these do a good job of plugging up your skin pores.  They also draw dirt and trap it in your skin. 

What the clogged pores do is basically try to shut down or slow down the sebaceous glands from making more skin oil.  The result is: dry skin.

5.  Now I am going to get more positive here but you needed to know the above negative information.

Natural skin care products that are the best and most effective do not have any synthetic ingredients.  They contain plant-based oils, extracts, enzymes and proteins.   These ingredients give your skin antioxidants that will protect you from free radical damage, which ages the skin.

6. Some natural ingredients that I found that are safe and effective are Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame.   What these two compounds do that is essential to good skin care is: increase collagen and elastin that you have.  They also bring up the amount of hyaluronic acid you need.    This gives your skin the younger, refreshing look you want.

7.  Last bit of advice is: Throw away and never buy skin care products over the counter again.  If you think this is harsh and upsetting then you have a choice: forget everything I just said and continue to buy drug store  and high end department store “junk” at rip off prices or heed the advice that follows.

Get your products from a company that has your best interests in mind.  One that will give you upfront answers that are honest and open.

At least check out the company I recommend and I promise you will not be disappointed.
