Skin Care

• While advertising is a huge influence in the skin
  care market, it is important to be wise in
  dealing with the claims of any one particular
  product. If the product claims to reduce fine
  lines and eliminate wrinkles are these claims
  supported by reviews of real people who have used
  the product and seen positive results?
• One tip is to look for products that stimulate
  collagen production as over time, this can bring
  about dramatic and changes in the skin's
  appearance. In addition, a product which contains
  a good moisturizer is crucial to relax skin
  tension and lock the moisture in.
• With so many competing creams on the market,
  there's bound to be some degree of separation in
  which ingredients they all contain. Instead of
  getting fixated on which product a skin cream
  "must" contain, try to see what any individual
  product can bring to your skin care routine.
• It's probably too much to ask for any one skin
  care product to be a "magic pill" for your skin,
  but by using a combination of products that
  attack the problem from different angles its
  easy to see how by using two or even three good
  skin care products your skin can easily benefit
  from the compound effect of all the extra
  nutrients and ingredients.

Some really great nutrients for skin care include
Silica, Zinc, Omega-3 acids, Selenium and Vitamin
C and antioxidants. Ok, so while it can be good
to have a range of essential nutrients in your
skin care regime, there are definitely some skin
care products that you would do well to avoid.
Products that irritate the skin can actually
increase wrinkles and weaken the skin against
protection from environmental damage, such as UV
from the sun's rays, which is most definitely NOT
what you want! The best advice here is to test.
Even the slightest tingling or uncomfortable
feeling on the skin resulting from using a
product is the first sign of skin irritation. If
this happens to you then my advice is strongly to
stop using that product immediately! There are
many alternatives on the market and the risks are
simply not worth the cost. Once again check the
product reviews and see what others are saying.
This could save you a lot of trouble in the long
run. Getting to know your skin type can save you
a lot of time in choosing the right products for
you. This is actually a lot easier than you might
expect. Basically, skin types can be broken down
into four key groups Normal, dry, oily and
sensitive. There is also a combination skin type,
although this is less common. Your skin will
probably fall into one of these categories or
have characteristics which make it more one than
the other.

With this in mind, match the right skin product
to your skin type and it will not only leave your
skin feeling more fresh and nourished but will
avoid any harmful influences that may occur from
using the wrong product on your skin. In addition
to this, remember to use the product on all areas
of your skin that are exposed to the sun. It's
often overlooked that it's not only the areas
around the eyes and mouth that need attention.
Your neck, hands and even parts of your body such
as your knees and elbows may also benefit from
some tender love and care!
