I know, I know.  I'm the same way.  I want someone to just tell me what I need to do because I have a million other things going on.  The fact is, there's too much to tell in one sitting and some things can only be done by you; such as, reading ingredient labels. 



What I can do is this.  I can give you some tips on how to quickly choose good, healthy products, and which companies to do business with.  From there, your job is easy.



Tip
Find out exactly which ingredients are included.



In order to find the most effective skincare products available, you have to conduct a little product research.  That includes finding out exactly which ingredients are included, and what researchers say about those ingredients. 



The most effective skincare products have specific beneficial ingredients, or lack harmful ingredients, depending on how you look at it.



There Are A Few Simple Reasons You Must Read The Label.



Tip
Look for products that contain ingredients your body can safely absorb.



First, you need to know what your product is made of because it will be absorbed.  Any ingredient included in your skin care will not only go on the surface of your body, but will also be absorbed into it.  These ingredients will find their way into your bloodstream.  From there, they will be further absorbed into the soft tissue throughout your body.  Makes you think twice about what you put on your body, huh? 



Tip
Avoid products with ingredients that will harm your body when absorbed.



Since ingredients are absorbed, you need to know what your product is made of, because many common sold cosmetic products contain dangerous chemicals.  You should know what those chemicals are.  You cannot afford to absorb them.  Researchers have shown many skin care ingredients are either proven or suspected of causing cancer. 



Tip
Choose products prepared from the safest and purest indredients.



Since many products contain dangerous chemicals, you need to know what your products are made of, so you can choose those prepared from the safest and purest ingredients.  You can never be too careful when purchasing items that go on your skin.



Are you noticing a theme here?  You need to know what your products are made of.  Using products with bad ingredients can dry your skin, clog your pores, or worse, cause health problems.  But, using products with good ingredients can get you those results you deserve and desire.



I make this point clear because there are mass numbers of companies using dangerous additives because they can.  There is no real regulation in the industry.



The fact is, there are alternatives.  There are companies out there that really care about making the most effective skincare products they possibly can.  They do not include the popular, yet harmful, chemicals.  They strive for fresh, healthy, all natural ingredients because they believe in your health, first and foremost.



By now, I know you're very curious to get a quick tip on choosing the right ingredients



Quick Ingredient Tip
No, on petroleum based ingredients.  Yes, on plant derived indredients.



There are some ingredients in skin care that come of the same category, but have very different effects.  Let me give you some examples.  Good oils are macadamia oil, jojoba oil, and avocado oil.  Good alcohols are plant derived.  Bad counterparts are petroleum based oils and alcohols, like mineral oil and phenyl alcohol. 



You wouldn't believe how prevalent petroleum based ingredients are in skin care products.  It's horrible.  Naturally, plant derived ingredients are safer for human bodies and far more effective than petroleum based ones.   



Tip
Look for the newly discovered natural ingredients.



Some companies are diligently doing their research in order to produce the most effective skincare products.  Lately, researchers have found new, really impressive natural ingredients.  If you're unsure there is anything "new" left to be found?  Check this out. 



There is a Keratin blend patented by one very innovative company that is derived from sheep's wool.  Wow!  By the way, there's no animal cruelty, just a hair cut.



Keratins are a family of tough, fibrous proteins found throughout your body. 



This blend, called Functional Keratin, stimulates re-growth of your natural collagen.  That's great news, because collagen cannot be replaced.  The molecules are too large to enter your pores.  Adding collagen to skin care products is a marketing ploy.  It can only be naturally produced by your body.



Revolutionize The Cosmetics Industry
Truth be known, there are companies on a mission to revolutionize the cosmetics industry.  Thank goodness because the FDA isn't doing it.  These companies are discovering how to create safe natural formulas that perform natural processes never before thought possible.  So far, these are the most effective skincare products.



Learn about skincare companies on a mission to revolutionize the industry.
