Skin Care Advice

In a recent article on the subject of facial skin are products, it’s documented that six billion cells regenerate daily. On an annual basis, close to 1% of the actual atoms in everyone’s body are totally replaced. Human skin is completely replaced every month, a new stomach lining every 5 days, new skeleton every 90 days, and all red blood cells are replenished every 120 days. However, as the body continues to age, the organs over time lose their total number of cells. Typically, it’s estimated 1% of all cells are lost every year so that by age 45 almost 15% of total cells are lost and, by age 65, almost 30%.

Breaking onto the scene are organic beauty products and natural skin care products. Facial skin care products, such as those available at http://www.ihdistribution.com use proprietary key anti-aging elements:

1.Amarense Bark Extract

2.Lecithin

3.Ternifolia Seed Oil

4.Moluccana Nut Oil

5.Grape Seed Extract

6.Echinacea Purpurea

7.Vitamins A, D. B, and C

8.Aloe Vera

9.Japanese Green Tea Extract

New facial skin products are the “new wave” in moisturizers, which often compete with more expensive, painful, and time consuming Botox injections.

Talking about skin care, ‘facial skin care’ seems to top the chart. There are loads of facial skin care products available in the market. The most common facial skin care products are the ones that are used as part of daily routine. These include things like cleansers and moisturizers. Toners and exfoliation ones are well known too but not many people use them as such.

The general classification of facial skin care products is based on the following:

* Gender (so there are facial skin care products for men and there are facial skin care products for women)

* Skin type (facial skin products for oily skin, facial skin care products for dry skin, facial skin care products for normal skin and facial skin care products for sensitive skin)

* Age (facial skin care products for old and facial skin care products for young)

* Skin disorder (i.e. facial skin care products for treatment of various skin orders like eczema, acne etc)

So that is your starting point for choosing a facial skin care product that suits you. A good way to start is by determining your skin type first. Also note that the skin type changes with age, so the facial skin product that suits you today, might not suit you forever and hence you need to constantly evaluate the effectiveness of your facial skin care product.

The facial skin care products are available in various forms i.e. creams, lotions, gels, masks etc, and a lot of people try to pit one against the other in their discussion on which form is best. However, one can’t really rate one form as better than another form. What suits you (and whatever you are comfortable with) is the best form of facial skin care product for you, really.

However, it’s important to note that these products work differently for different people. So the best thing is to try the facial skin care product on a small patch of skin (e.g. ear lobes) before actually going ahead and using it.

Another important consideration is the state of your skin. If you are suffering from a skin disorder of any kind, it is best to seek the advice of a dermatologist before you actually make your selection and start using a facial skin care product.

Once you have selected the facial skin care product for yourself, you also need to ensure that you use the facial skin care product in the right way i.e. follow correct procedures for application, use the correct quantity and make the facial product a part of your skin care routine.

All of us are concerned about our skin perhaps because it is one of the first things people notice. There are skin care treatments everywhere that can help us repair damaged skin and maintain a glowing, youthful appearance. This article will show you steps you can take for a daily facial skin care treatment and advice on what to use on your face.

Step 1: Cleanse

As you go along with your daily activities and even while you’re sleeping, your skin tends to accumulate dirt that clog up pores. When you wake up from a long night’s sleep, excess sebum or oils accumulate on your skin. When you step out of your house you are exposed to harsh pollutants, UV rays, and/or cold weather that irritate your skin. As a result, your pores become clogged and inflamed, causing blemishes and scars.

In this case, it is important to wash your face in the mornings and evenings. Splash some warm water over your face, apply a mild facial cleanser with gentle circular motions, and wash off. Mild cleansers are the best to use, since they do not tend to aggravate damaged skin and cause the sebaceous glands to produce excess oils.

Step 2: Tone

Toning such as using an exfoliator helps tighten pores and get rid of dirt that’s left on your skin. Exfoliation sloughs off dead skin cells that thicken the skin, clog pores, and cause discoloration and dullness. It promotes healthy skin cell turnover and smoothens out the surface of the skin. Therefore, exfoliating at least once a week helps reduce blackheads, whiteheads, inflammation on the skin, and the depth of fine lines and wrinkles.

Step 3: Moisturize

Keep your skin hydrated at all times by using a moisturizer every time you finish washing and toning. Moisturizers help lock in natural moisture to enhance the skin’s elasticity and therefore prevent dryness and sagging. They also protect the skin from infection. Find products that also contain sunscreens to protect against UV rays that cause photoaging (premature aging).

A Word Of Advice

Now that you know the basic steps to maintaining healthy skin, know the right things to use on your face. As much as possible, use a facial skin care treatment that contains natural ingredients. The difference between natural and synthetic ingredients is that natural ones are derived from living substances. Our bodies are able to identify these living substances as nutrition, therefore fully benefiting from them.

For instance, oatmeal naturally binds to the skin’s surface and creates a protective film to decrease friction and absorb humidity. It has naturally occurring chemical substances that lock in needed moisture (with polysaccharides and natural proteins), sooth irritation, and absorb impurities (with antipruritics and natural antibacterials).

Now imagine the benefits of other natural ingredients such as added vitamins and anti-oxidants. With these basic skin care steps and a natural facial skin care treatment, you are able to treat damaged skin, skin discoloration, photoaging, and acne. There’s no such thing as a fountain of youth for your skin-great skin solely depends on maintenance and the right ingredients!

There is a widespread belief that cheap skin care products are synonymous with inferior quality. High profile skin care companies build their marketing campaigns in such a way, so as to mislead ordinary consumers into believing that, in order for a skin care product to be any good, it has to be expensive.

In these hard economic times, however, more and more people are learning to look though the glossy advertising and search for hard, concrete evidence about the quality of a product.

Nevertheless, there is still a large portion of consumer public who choose expensive over cheap skin care products, in the hope that the former will be more effective.

The other day, I was reading about a very interesting experiment that was conducted by a consumer watch agency. Volunteers were asked to try, for a number of days, some facial skin care creams, ranging from cheap to expensive.

After the trial period ended, there was an evaluation of the results by comparing the condition of the volunteers’ skin before and after the experiment.

The results were startling! There was not an appreciable difference between the effectiveness of the different products. In fact, the most expensive one was worse than most of the other ones!

My personal standpoint on this issue is that we should all become savvier when it comes to selecting the skin care products that are suitable for us.

We have to get into the habit of reading labels and recognize the fact that often the only difference between expensive and cheap skin products is just the cost of the package and the hype. According to industry estimates, there is a 500 to 1,000 percent between cost and sales price in cosmetics. This margin is needed, according to manufacturers, to meet heavy promotional expenses. Actually, the skin care industry is the largest advertiser on TV and in magazines.

So, in essence, most of the times, what we are paying is nothing more than the enormous amounts of money that the various entertainment industry celebrities are paid, just to endorse with their name the marketing campaigns of the big brand skin care companies!

However, there is hope.

Times are changing and companies are now exploiting the tremendous power of the internet to cut down on their marketing costs, by reaching their customers directly. In this way, they are able to offer cheap skin care products, which are high quality and are proven to bring about results.

Personally, what I do is always buy the products I need through the internet.
