Trouble Finding The Best All Natural Skin Care Products?
June 6, 2009 by Peter Albertonach · Leave a Comment
Worldwide there is a groundswell of women looking to find more natural skin care products. Millions of women are now searching out the best all natural skin care products, and for good reason.
Gradually consumers are realizing that our skin care products and cosmetics as well as many other personal products can contain harmful ingredients.
A quick example, a recent study found lead in over 50% of big brand lipsticks tested.
And it's fine to be wanting to look better or smell better, but doing that at the risk of our health isn't smart. Who wants lead on their lips?
And big name manufacturers are now recognizing this and trying to get a foothold in the natural products market.
Recently L'Oreal has purchased The Body Shop to get a toehold in the natural personal products market.
Now lets consider skin care. Firstly, what does "all natural" mean when applied to skin care? Well there is no definition of natural for either cosmetics or skin care or other products.
All natural is a general term. It can mean what you want it to mean and so one all natural skin care line may well have ingredients in it that are suspect to some people.
So what do we do if we're looking for the best all natural skin care products and there are some out there which can still contain potentially nasty ingredients?
If you're looking for a "natural" product it's pretty sure you're looking for a product what works well and is SAFE.
So once we recognize this we can use this information to find what we want.
So, how do we find these products? Lets look at how we determine if a product should be safe. There is a website called the cosmetic safety database. It considers the health risks inherent in a wide range of cosmetics and skin care products and more. It rates the potential health risks of various ingredients in these products.
So you can look at any product and search the ingredients to see if they are considered unsafe to health. You could search "parabens" for example, (a popular chemical preservative) and see what risks parabens pose.
The find the website for the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics. The have a compact that any company can sign. This pledges that company to using only known safe ingredients in their products. And you can search this compact to see which companies have signed it, and which haven't. You won't find the big names there.
And if a company has signed that compact it should make safe skin care products. You can search this compact for any company name to see if they have signed.
So that covers safety. How do you know if the company that makes those all natural skin care products actually makes good skin care products? Well the best way I know is to find a company that gives you a money back guarantee on their products. Even amongst the good natural skin care companies getting a money back guarantee is rare.
One company has both signed the compact and offer a full money back guarantee. And it's that company that makes the best all natural skin care products.
Head over to my website to find out which company.

Let's face it; we're all getting older every day! Sad but true as the years seem to creep up on us at first and later to sail by. A lot of extra baggage comes along with age. There are some good things, such as increased knowledge, wisdom, and patience, and then there are some bad: failing health, loss of friends and family, and aging skin. Most of the things we'd rather not see happen are an inevitable part of growing older, but if you're starting to see the signs of aging on your skin, there are things that you can do to reduce the effects that the years are having on you. To do so, though, you've got to know how to find the best anti-wrinkle creams from amongst the hundreds of products that are available.
Start by assessing what exactly you're hoping to accomplish. Do you want a product that will exfoliate your skin in order to reveal the healthy, younger-looking skin underneath it? Maybe you want a cream that will make your skin look healthier or younger, something that will soften lines and fade age spots, or an antioxidant that will fight sun damage. You'll be able to find products that claim to address each of these problems, but the trouble is going to be how to decide which of the many preparations and potions that are for sale are the best anti-wrinkle creams.
To get rid of dull-looking skin, dead skin cells, and a rough appearance, you need a good exfoliant. Products containing alpha or beta hydroxy do an excellent job of minimizing the toll sun exposure has taken on your skin. Made with fruit acids, sugars, or milk, or else synthetically, you can find the more natural products by reading the product labels. Exfoliants work to remove dead skin cells which can build up and cover new, healthy skin cells beneath them. Products with these ingredients also act as moisturizers which can improve the condition of dry skin, plump up tissues, and cause fine lines and wrinkles to be much less noticeable.
If you're starting to see fine lines and age spots and are wondering what the best anti-wrinkle creams may be for controlling these problems, you'll be smart in choosing a product that contains Retinol. Retinol is highly-recommended by dermatologists in that it stimulates the growth of new cells and the production of collagen. You want to find a cream that has the highest percentage of Retinol if you hope to see the full benefits. These products do an excellent job of removing dead skin cells, reducing the look of age spots, smoothing out uneven skin tones, and minimizing fine lines.
Products containing vitamin C are also some of the best anti-wrinkle creams you can buy. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that works with your body to neutralize the damage free radicals can have on your skin. Vitamin C has been clinically-proven to fight skin damage caused by over-exposure to the sun. There are a variety of different products that contain vitamin C including moisturizing lotions, eye creams, and sunscreens. Since vitamin C is a natural, healthy substance, you know you'll be safe when using products that contain it.

Does that confuse you? Surly if you want great looking well moisturized skin you need to find the best moisturizer? No, and here's why, and also here's 4 steps to great looking skin that is also well moisturized skin.
There's one way to have well moisturized great looking skin that doesn't sag or feel dry, looks great, has few wrinkles and makes you feel great. It's to have healthy skin. If your skin isn't healthy skin no amount of using the best face moisturizer there is will make it like that.
I'll say it again. The key to well moisturized skin is to have healthy skin. Because healthy skin is, almost by definition, well moisturized skin. If it isn't it isn't healthy. Makes sense.
So why are you out there looking for the best moisturizer? Why aren't you trying to make your skin healthy and why aren't you using skincare products targeted to overall skin health rather than just moisturising?
So there's other things you can do to make your skin healthy other than using great skin care products?
Well there's some simple stuff. Simple but not necessarily easily. There 4 things you need to do to have great looking healthy and well moisturized skin.
1. Eat a good diet. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables every day. Eating a good healthy diet is exactly what you should do to get healthy overall, and healthy overall is the way to great looking healthy skin and well moisturized skin.
2. It's equally important to exercise. If you exercise it makes your blood circulation better, and better circulation is important for your skin.
3. Those are 2 things you must do, here's 2 things never to do. Don't smoke or get sunburned. Both of these do terrible damage to your skin and both of them cause more damage than great moisturizing can ever repair.
4. What's the last thing you need to do to have great skin? Use the best natural skin care products available. There are some excellent natural skin care products that are specifically targeted to improving skin health, and along the way they moisturize better than the best rated moisturizer. There's no point in just moisturizing, tackle overall skin health and skin moisture retention will do with it.
Yes the skin care products that moisturize better than any others aren't in fact a moisturizer at all. They are products that include natural moisturizers that are better than the ingredients in the big brand name moisturizers, but they aren't moisturizers. And so if you search the best moisturizers you won't even find them.
So the best facial moisturizer isn't really a moisturizer at all. And remember, there's way more you can do to improve your skin than just using the best moisturizer.
