Skin Care Advice

A properly chosen skin care moisturizer cream can work wonders for your skin’s health and beauty. But if you choose the wrong skin care cream, you could end up ruining your skin. Here is your guide on how to avoid that mistake.

The two most commonly abused chemical substances in skin care creams are parabens and mineral oils. There is a consensus among dermatologists that the use of these synthetic substances should be banned from skin care creams.

1) Parabens — They are preservatives used in skin care moisturizer creams. They help in improving the shelf life of the products. They are proven carcinogens and have shown to cause cancerous breast tumors!

Although there are safer alternatives for preservatives such as vitamin E, parabens still find widespread use in skin care creams because they are cheap. They are used in these forms — methyl, propyl, butyl and ethyl parabens.

2) Mineral oils — Another chemical substance that is widely abused in skin care moisturizer creams is mineral oils. They are used as a substitute for natural moisturizing oils. They provide a temporary moisturization effect on the skin, but they ruin the natural oil balance and make it excessively dry after the moisturizing effects wear down.

They are used in these forms — petrolatum, liquid paraffin and paraffin wax. Mineral oils clog the skin’s pores and prevent the skin from breathing freely. The skin toxins remain within and lead to acne breakouts, allergies, irritation, rashes and photosensitivity. All this leads to premature aging of skin.

Be careful that the skin care moisturizer cream that you look for doesn’t contain these hazardous chemical substances. They won’t do any good for your skin, but on the contrary they will ruin your healthy skin and make it worse than before.

The skin composition of men and women is very different. You should look out for these special natural ingredients while looking for the appropriate skin care cream for your skin type.

Men’s skin care creams should contain Capuacu butter. It is very effective in healing sunburns and razor injuries. This is because men shave their faces almost daily and are prone to skin inflammation.

Women’s skin care cream should contain passion fruit (Maracuja) extract. It is one of the best emollients and gives a soft, creamy and radiant skin.
