Favorite Lies Advertisers Tell You About Anti-Aging Facial Skin Care Products
It is because real research costs substantial amounts of money and many cosmetic manufacturers would rather spend their money on increasing sales through advertising than on providing real value to consumers.
Their focus is not on repeat business, but in tapping the income of first-time users.
After some basic research on beauty products, many educated consumers are aware that collagen and elastin are two proteins that make your skin tighter, firmer, and smoother.
In order to appear to provide these benefits, some manufacturers like to list collagen and elastin on their list of ingredients.
Unfortunately, when you buy a product with these two proteins, the tighter skin will disappear as soon as you wash off the cream.
Why does this happen? It is because collagen and elastin have big protein molecules that will not absorb into the skin when applying them topically.
So, while they are on your skin, your skin will improve its elasticity, but once they are washed off, your skin returns to its usual state.
In other words, your beautiful and healthy skin is only a temporary illusion.
In order to get supple, elastic, and smooth skin, you have to use a facial skin care product that has clinically proven natural ingredients that will improve your body's ability to produce its own supply of collagen and elastin.
Young children and adolescents have beautiful skin because their bodies naturally produce an abundance of collage and elastin.
Unfortunately, as we age, this natural production decreases due to a variety of factors, including stress, poor diet, insufficient exercise, and toxic air and water in our environments.
The result is that we tend to look older than our biological age.
We develop dark circles under our eyes, our skin sags under the chin, and we exhibit wrinkles around the corners of the eyes and mouth.
Over time, too, we begin to exhibit an alarming number of age spots.
So what do you do instead of buying products that are based on misinformation about how collagen and elastin actually works? Fortunately, not all manufacturers are interested in instant profits.
A small group are interested in winning your repeat business by providing products that really do work.
These products contain ingredients that boost your skin's natural production of collagen and elastin.
Manufacturers who focus their budget on clinical studies instead of hype have created some natural beauty products that work remarkably well in restoring younger-looking skin.
Here is what I use and recommend: grapeseed oil, phytessence wakame, Nano-Lipobelle, and Xtend-Life TK.
How To Identify Quality Facial Skin Care Products? Here are some rules of thumb when shopping for quality skin care products.
1.
Recognize that there is seldom a correlation between high sales volume and the best skin care products.
Often something sells well simply because a famous model, a popular celebrity, or a well-known personality claims to have benefited from it.
In truth, many of these people look years younger because of plastic surgery and have never used the products they are endorsing.
2.
If a company is throwing millions on endorsements and branding, you have to wonder how much money do they have left to put into clinical studies to authenticate the efficacy of their products.
3.
If a product is highly priced, it does not equate to the use of rare and special ingredients.
Instead, some beauty products are highly priced to attract conspicuous consumption.
What many of these products have are not expensive ingredients, but cheap filler ingredients like mineral oil, which is nothing more than harmless-looking and carefully perfumed crude oil.
Ironically, you are most likely to find the best beauty products are made by small manufacturers, who choose to focus on clinical studies and only use natural products.
Moreover, these are not highly priced because they simply use natural ingredients.
For instance, it is hard to do much of a markup on grapeseed oil.
So when it comes to anti-aging facial skin care products don't be hoodwinked by well-promoted products, even if they do mention that they use collagen and elastin.
