Read on and become well-informed on ingredients you should avoid and ingredients that truly benefit. Find out how to find a naturally effective product that can promise flawless skin.
Skin Care Ingredients to Avoid
Mineral Oil. Mineral oil can go by many names on product labels including liquid paraffin, paraffin wax and petrolatum. Mineral oil prevents the skin from being able to breathe. It can clog pores, trap in toxins, and lead to acne breakouts. If used for a long time, it can cause the skin to be dependent on it, meaning your skin could be chapped and dry without it.
Dioxane. Dioxane is a synthetic derivative of coconut and is widely used in skincare products. It has high concentrations of 1.4-dioxane which has been known as a harmful, potentially disease causing component.
Fragrances. It seems perfectly normal to choose something that could also provide the appeal of fragrance. However, ingredients that make up fragrances are often toxic or carcinogenic.
Parabens. These include methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl paraben. These are found in skin care and moisturizing products as a preservative in order to give the product a longer shelf life. The additional of this ingredient is purely economical and does nothing good for the skin. In fact, it may cause cancer and interfere with the body’s endocrine system, as well as might cause allergic reactions and skin rashes.
Alcohols. Ethanol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and SD alcohol should be avoided. Not every alcohol shares these same properties, however these most commonly found in skin care products are extremely drying and irritating to the skin. These alcohols strip away the skin’s natural moisture and acid barrier, making you more prone to contact with bacteria and viruses.
Beneficial Ingredients for Premature Aging, Acne, Scars and More
Collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that’s tensile strength provides firmness to the skin. Collagen breaks down with age, therefore anti aging creams that promise to smooth wrinkles and firm skin should contain collagen.
Elastin. This too is a protein that helps the skin stay flexible and firm.
Helix Aspersa Muller. This ingredient encourages fibroblast proliferation and facilitates cellular renewal in the breaking down of dysfunctional cells and the rebuilding of new healthy skin cells. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as works as a deep moisturizer. It works against dark spots, age spots, acne, scars and more.
