Skin Care Advice

A skin care tip you can use

It’s like clockwork. Every few days a new skin cream hits the market with loads of publicity and advertisements being aired everywhere – on the TV, radio, the internet – you name it. You get sucked in by the hype and buy the cream only to find out later that it’s just the same as the other ones you have tried and thrown away.

Here’s the most useful skin care tip you will find anywhere – stop buying those new products getting launched every day!

Fact is – most of these products are just rehashed and repackaged versions of the old products. There is nothing new in them to make them more effective. They contain the same old chemical ingredients that do more harm than good to your skin.

Instead of looking for that one magic skin cream that can make your skin beautiful overnight, you need to understand that you have to be healthy from inside to have a beautiful skin. If your body is deficient in essential nutrients, you cannot hope to have a healthy skin.

So begin with a balanced diet that contains enough fruits and vegetables. This will make sure your body (and your skin) gets the minerals and vitamins it needs to function properly.

Drink plenty of water. This will keep your skin hydrated and your body free from toxins.

Protect your skin from harsh weather conditions. Applying a good sunscreen before going out in the sun will protect your skin from the damage caused by the UV rays of the sun. Sunglasses, hats, scarves – they are all meant to protect your skin from the elements. Make good use of them.

Once you have all this in place, then your skin cream will really be able to show some benefits for your skin. Here’s an additional skin care tip – think natural when it comes to choosing a skin care product.

Too many common products contain harsh chemicals which cause serious problems down the road. You can avoid all of this by using natural substances only. Not only are they safe, but more effective too.

Look for natural ingredients like Phytessence Wakame. This Japanese sea kelp nourishes the skin with vitamin B complex and minerals like calcium, iron and potassium. It protects the skin from the UV rays of the sun and prevents the formation of age spots on it.

Cynergy TK is an extract from the wool of New Zealand sheep. It promotes the production of Collagen and Elastin in the skin which help in keeping it smooth and wrinkle free.

Natural oils like Avocado and Macadamia moisturize the skin naturally and make it soft and supple.

In conclusion, my skin care tip for you is to just avoid shiny new creams. Trust only Mother Nature to keep your skin fresh, young and healthy.

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.
