Using an anti aging skin care product is advertised as a great way to eliminate wrinkles, firm up sagging skin, and clear up dark circles under the eyes–but do these products actually work? Or are cosmetics companies, with their beautiful Hollywood celebrity spokespeople, really misleading you?
In my fifteen years of extensive personal experience with anti aging skin care products, I’ve discovered that the majority of them don’t live up to the hype.
Not only that–many of these products actually use ingredients that can have adverse health effects.
Don’t make the mistakes and waste all the money that I did. Avoid an anti aging skin care product if:
1) It uses mineral oil.
You’ll find mineral oil used in skin creams all the time–it often goes by the names liquid paraffin, paraffin wax, and petrolatum. It’s considered “filler,” an inexpensive way for manufacturers to bulk up the mass of their skin care products so they can justify charging you higher prices.
But the fact is that mineral oil actually clogs your pores! Because of this, it can lead to acne breakouts–even if, like me, you’re way past your teenage years.
Clinical studies also suggest that mineral oil can lead to premature aging of your skin.
I’m not sure about you, but I thought the whole point of using a skin care system was to help my skin regain elasticity and look younger–not to accelerate the aging process!
Fortunately, I finally found a skin care product line that doesn’t use this terrible stuff.
2) It contains Dioxane.
Dioxane is another substance widely used in skin care treatments. It’s a synthetic derivative of coconut.
And it often contains intense concentrations of 1,4-Dioxane. What’s 1,4-Dioxane? Only a chemical “known to the state of California to cause cancer.”
1,4-Dioxane is found in the ground, too. It’s a common groundwater contaminant.
And it might be lurking inside that tube of facial cream in your bathroom cabinet, too.
3) It uses parabens.
Parabens are frequently used as preservatives in anti aging skin care products. They’re cheap, and widely available, so leading cosmetics brands load up their products with this stuff.
But studies suggest that parabens might actually cause breast cancer, and can affect estrogen levels.
Talk about potentially serious side effects!
In spite of this, these billion-dollar cosmetics companies keep on using parabens in their products. I guess they figure that ordinary consumers like us will never dig deep enough to find out the truth.
But we’re smarter than that, aren’t we?
Believe it or not, there are actually several more dangerous ingredients you should avoid in an anti aging skin care product. It’s a minefield out there. Thankfully, I’ve found some natural skin care treatments that are not only 100% safe, but highly effective, too. Visit my web site now to learn more.
