What skin care cream to use for the most beautiful skin on the body and face is a really tough question. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of different products to choose from, and many of them contain ingredients that are inappropriate for facial skin.
If you look at the ingredient list of most skin care creams, you will see a lot of weird things like different chemicals, alcohol, and petroleum by-products.
Many of the chemicals on that list have been shown to be carcinogenic or cause allergic reactions. The worst chemicals for the skin are parabens, dioxane, fragrances, and acrylamide. Petroleum by-products are added to keep the skin moist, but if you apply them to the skin, they also clog pores and cause irritation. Alcohol is very drying to the skin and can cause premature aging and age spots.
So now you know what to avoid. But what ingredients should you look for?
Look for all-natural ingredients that have been shown to be beneficial for your skin in clinical trials with human volunteers. What you want to find are vitamins, antioxidants, cold-pressed vegetable oils, active manuka honey, and repair proteins.
The best skin care creams contain ingredients that help prevent signs of aging like wrinkles, age spots, dryness, sagging, and thin skin. Recently, three ingredients have been shown to be very effective in rejuvenating the skin: Cynergy TK, Wakame extract, and Coenzyme Q10.
Cynergy TK is a restorative protein that has been shown to stimulate and enhance the growth of collagen and elastin in the skin. When the growth of these proteins increases, the skin becomes smoother and firmer.
Wakame extract is a Japanese seaweed very rich in minerals and antioxidants. When used in natural skin creams, it has been shown to make skin firmer and more hydrated.
Coenzyme Q10 is incredibly rich in antioxidants and, when used in the right formula, penetrates deep into the skin and neutralizes free radicals. This has been shown to have a spectacular anti-wrinkle effect.
Another thing you really need to think about when looking for a good skin cream is the amount of active ingredients. Many skincare products only contain the minimum amount of active ingredients, and this actually renders them practically useless. Make sure the company you buy your skin care products from puts at least 50% active ingredients in their creams.
