By now you are most likely unavoidably aware of all the false claims surrounding the beauty & cosmetic industry. It is very difficult to make good choices from the stand point of the average person and, at times, it seems the job is too much for any one person .

It’s too bad that most of the masses who believe in using intensive wrinkle creams are using them without in truth knowing much about what they do and how they work. Just because this type of product floods the market and a particular company advertises by making outrageous claims , it does mean that the effectiveness is guaranteed. In actuality , most of the intensive creams out there are quite mediocre to put it gently.

The most central piece of info you can use to discern between an effective and a useless aging skin care product , is knowledge about the ingredients in the formula. Let me shed some light on the accuracy about the many adverse ingredients used in many so-called anti wrinkle creams .

You can often find collagen high up on the list of ingredients. Some companies advertise the fact that their product contains collagen , which will sink into the skin and will replenish the collagen that the body no longer makes on its own. That is the means by which the product fights wrinkles.

This is, honestly put, a lie. Scientific studies have proven that the size of collagen molecules is too large to be absorbed by even the pores of the skin. There is no possible way via which these molecules can be delivered artificially to the skin.

In order to make them more appealing , many products list ingredients that turn out to be harmful . Many famous brands use fragrances, parabens and/or dioxanes . These are the most frequently used ingredients that could cause harm to your skin.

Interestingly , the toxins used in scents will never be included on the label because fragrances are trade secrets . They are, sooner or later, the leading cause of skin conditions and allergic reactions.

Parabens, which are used as a preservative , are also probable carcinogens with a systemic effect that affects the whole body .

Last but not least , many cosmetics contain dioxanes, a byproduct of chemical reactions that are produced during the manufacturing of the product. Dioxanes are well known carcinogens often omitted on labels. Look for “softener” as a key word that points to the existence of dioxanes.

Proactively ward off these substances and opt for natural skincare products. Manufacturers are starting to wake up to this problem and there are now many holistic products out there that will not harm your health .
