Many consumers feel that they are using the best skin care products, but in all honesty, they are probably not. You will not find the best creams and lotions at the local department store. Many of these products contain ingredients that are potentially harmful to your skin.
Some of the harmful ingredients include mineral oil, parabens and fragrances. If you use a product that contains some of these ingredients, then it is advisable to try a safer product. The best skin care products on the market today are natural products. They are much safer and more effective than synthetic or chemical based ones.
Mineral oil is used in many products these days. That is because it is a cheap additive and that just adds to the bottom line of the large cosmetic companies. Mineral oil will leave your skin feeling soft; however, it can clog your pores, which leads to other skin conditions such as acne breakouts.
Fragrances have been known to cause skin irritations and allergic reactions. Parabens are preservatives that are added to give the product a longer shelf life. This means it can sit on the store shelf until someone buys it. In addition, parabens are potential cancer causing agents and have been banned in Europe.
The best skin care products contain specific natural ingredients that help to stimulate the re-growth of vital skin proteins. These proteins are called collagen and elastin. Collagen is a fiber-like protein that gives your skin its structure and elastin gives your skin its elasticity.
The reason why you want a product that helps stimulate protein production is that when we get older, our body produces less and less of these proteins. This leads to lines and wrinkles forming on our skin.
If you want to treat the cause of the lines and wrinkles then you need to apply the best skin care products. Treating the cause is much better than simply masking the symptoms.
The most effective ingredients are natural ingredients such as essential oils like Babassu oil, avocado oil and macadamia oil. They penetrate deep into the layers of skin and do not leave a greasy feeling.
To stimulate the re-growth of collagen and elastin, certain natural substances must be applied to the skin. One of the most effective natural ingredients is Cynergy TK. It is found in only the very best skin care products. It is very effective at boosting the production of collagen and elastin.

Oftentimes the very things that we believe to be good for us are the things that cause more harm than good. Did you know that most of the beauty and health related products that are available in the marketplace today contain a substance that could be actively affecting your health in a very negative way? This substance is usually one of any number of chemicals that come from a chemical group known as parabens. Parabens have been used for decades as preservatives in many types of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. The role that parabens play in these products is to effectively serve as a preservative. Parabens are prevalent in places that you would never have suspected them to be. In fact, it is more than likely that you used a product or products containing this morning not more than a few hours ago. Parabens can be found in products that include, but are not limited to shampoos, commercial moisturisers, shaving gels, personal lubricants, topical pharmaceuticals, spray tanning solution, and toothpaste. Amazingly enough, these harmful chemicals are also occasionally used as food additives. And here’s the kicker, parabens are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, allergic reactions, and tumour growth!
The reason that these chemicals are so prevalent is undoubtedly because of their low cost. In an increasingly competitive market-place most manufacturers are willing to sacrifice quality in exchange of a bottom line. However, this is not the case with KORE products. KORE products do not contain any parabens whatsoever. The dedicated research and development team at KORE has developed a all natural substitute that serves the purpose of acting as a preservative without producing any of the ill-effects. As such, you may find that KORE products are more expensive than normal creams and loan that advertise themselves as ‘anti-ageing’, ‘rejuvenating’, etc. What you need to remember is that while these products may claim to help you, it is a fact that the parabens they contain are having adverse effects on you.

African American and Black Skin Products must have the right ingredients to really work. Some ingredients should be avoided for black skin or any other type of skin.
In this article I will show you which ones work and which ones to avoid. Some ingredients, for example, will cause hyper pigmentation while others will cause de-pigmentation. Here is what you should avoid and what you should use.
Avoid These 3 Ingredients in Skin Care Products
1. Sodium methyl paraben (any type paraben)
2. Petroleum-based products
3. Chemical bleaching agents
*Sodium methyl paraben - One ingredient that is commonly found in skin care lines is sodium methyl paraben. It, as well as, all parabens have been found in breast cancer patients. It is best to not use any product containing parabens. Sodium methyl paraben can result in de-pigmentation that may be permanent.
Products with petroleum content also can cause hyper pigmentation. Dark spots may appear that do not match other skin tone. Also propylene glycol and wood-based alcohols have been known to cause darker spots to appear on the skin. The reason often stated why these ingredients are in black skin care products is that they relieve oiliness. However, the products most people are using cause the oiliness. Petrolatum, mineral oil and other products that are petroleum-based CAUSE the oiliness.
Chemical bleaching agents are often promoted to those who want to lighten their skin tone. There are safe skin lightening products. I’ll cover that also in a moment. Chemical bleaching ingredients can bring much harm to your skin. Avoid them especially if you have black skin or darker tones of skin.
Compounds That Work Safely
-Extra pone nut grass
-CoQ10
- Jojoba
-Natural vitamin E
-Functional keratin
-Wakame kelp
Extra-pone nut grass is a very good ingredient that will even out the skin tone. It usually doesn’t take much to give a noticeable difference.
Natural vitamin E is an antioxidant. Since it is an antioxidant it will usually help get rid of hyperpigmentation of skin. In other words, skin spots.
Sebum - The Natural Moisturizer
Sebum is our natural skin oil that also is our natural skin moisturizer. However, some of us have either too dry skin or too oily or some range in between. So skin problems can vary from one person to the next. But skin problems in general have nothing to do with black skin or any other tone. Skin is skin. Only the skin tone maybe different, but all skin is composed the same. What the problem usually is, is the product being used on the skin. Especially if it is petroleum based. Petrolatum feels good but it can do a lot of subtle harm. If you use a good moisturizer, like the one I use, you will have 90% of your skin problems solved.
Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands. All skin, black, white etc have these glands. Sebum is the skin’s natural moisturizer. Jojoba and passion fruit extract work well with the sebaceous glands. These two ingredients will help moisturize skin that is very dry. What is nice about them they will moisturize the skin without causing any skin flareups.
Anti Aging Ingredients
Most anti aging products don’t even come close to working. Companies take advantage of the popularity of anti aging and promote skin care products that do more harm than anything else.
You don’t need any special african american anti aging product. Let me tell what you do need.
In my vast searching for some skin care products that really work I found one that I am ecstatic about. The reason is that it is safe and it works on all skin types and skin tones. It is called "Functional Keratin". When mixed with Wakame Seaweed (Japanese) CoQ10 and Vitamin E it produces new skin cells and fibers. This results in a younger looking skin because of the skin firmness that is taking place. See my website for more information on this truly amazing skin care ingredient.
Functional Keratin is the most successful and effective of all the antiaging products I researched. Functional keratin combined with Wakame kelp extract and antioxidants CoQ10 and natural vitamin E promotes the increase of new skin fibers and skin cells. Wakame helps prevent sagging by increasing skin firmness.
What causes harm to skin cells and other body cells is what is called free radicals. They basically go on a rampage and hurt other cells. The antidote is antioxidants found in compounds like vitamin E. Remember this please, avoid any ingredient ending in paraben, (for black skin especially Sodium methyl paraben). Avoid all skin care and other products that list petrolatum as an ingredient. Don’t even think about using a chemical bleaching agent. Use the ones I recommend. See my website for my personally tested skin cream. - Thanks, Margaret Bell

Defining the Best Organic Skin Care Products on the Market
Many companies and websites offer organic skin care products. Of course, it is up to you, the consumer, to determine which of the hundreds of potentially best organic skin care products are right for you and your skin type. In most cases, organic skin care products are not drying because they rarely contain the chemical blends that lead to over-drying. Some organic skin care products that are designed to treat acne may contain a percentage of chemically blended benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat acne breakouts. While neither of these chemicals is considered organic, all organic products are permitted a small percentage of non-organic material to enter either the processing stage or the ingredient stage. Only organic skin care products that claim to be all organic or 100% organic are not permitted these add ins.
If your skin is dry, cracked, over worked, peeling, or simply rough and leathery, you are going to want to purchase an organic skin care product that, obviously, will hydrate your skin cells and leave behind a fresher, softer feeling after use. In order to find that product, you are going to have to look on websites that offer some very high quality material. There are products which claim that juices and antioxidant based natural products are their main ingredients. Many of these have been proven to soften rough skin and moisturize dry and cracked skin. Natural fruits and vegetable pastes such as avocado blends have been proven to assist with issues such as peeling and cracking as well.
There is no one single best organic skin care product on the market today. Rather, there are some top lines which offer the best in organic skin care products, but the facial skin is such a subjective area that it is impossible for one individual to find that one product works as well for them as the next. Many people may benefit from one type while others will benefit from another type.
Making the Switch to Organic Skin Care Products
Switching from chemically based skin care products or even natural skin care products over to organic skin care products might help you in determining the best organic skin care product for your skin type and your desired result. For those of you who have been spending a lot of time fighting the war on wrinkles, then you might want to opt for a product that offers a high level of antioxidants and essential nutrients as well as a fruit juice base. A water base will often contribute toward wrinkles while a fruit juice base is likely to be loaded with more essential vitamins and minerals as well as hydroxy acids.
Hydroxy acids, which often can come from a fruit juice or vegetable base, help to rejuvenate the skin cells and provide essential platforms for maintaining and developing higher levels of collagen and elastin, both of which are the basic building blocks of a wrinkle free face.
If you have been using skin care products to fight acne, you might want to consider an organic skin care product that is also fruit juice based and one that contains essentials such as grape juices and citrus juices. Antioxidant blends will help as will a moisture rich exfoliating product. These types of organic skin care products have been proven to help with acne and to help reduce scarring. For some very serious cases of acne, using a medicated product followed by a citrus based organic skin care product works well, too.
If your skin is generally healthy and you are looking to maintain that healthy skin, the organic skin care products that might be best for you will ultimately carry a fruit juice base and a high level of ingredients that boasts antioxidants and a high SPF level pf sun protection.
Choosing Organic Skin Care Products Wisely
Take a lot of the guess work out of purchasing an organic skin care product by using websites that offer the best of the best. Websites that research the organic skin care product lines and offer more than just one specific brand are offering you preresearched and prequalified organic skin care products that have passed a number of prerequisite standards. This makes choosing a high quality organic skin care product simpler with a reduced chance of being disappointed in the results. There are many organic skin care products out there vying for your attention and your interest. Choosing carefully and educating yourself as a consumer is the first step in finding the best organic skin care products on the market today.

Is your anti aging skin care products expensive? The skin care ingredients should be high quality if it is costly. But expensive doesn’t guarantee quality or if it even will do the job.
Why do skin care manufacturers put high prices on products that either are of poor performance or don’t work at all? One reason is that they keep changing the packaging and some of the anti aging skin care ingredients. This is because the last package failed and/or the product did. So these changes can result in price increases.
Fancy Department Store Hype
Skin care products are popularized many ways. Celebrity endorsement and heavy advertising on network shows and infomericals. All of this costs plenty of dough. So the skin product price goes sky high to cover the overhead.
Why Sky High Prices
We have covered some the reasons. There is location; high traffic areas are not cheap to rent. Factory costs, employees, and a big one is shipping.
Every business has overhead costs. But the most important factor we want to consider is not the costs but the INGREDIENTS. If the skin care product is to work and be safe, the ingredients must be of the highest quality and preferably be truly natural. So companies cut down on the ingredients to save money. But then they put out a cheap, ineffective product.
Marketing
Marketing a product is much of the cost. Somehow the customers need to know about the product. Usually that takes expensive advertising. So to keep the price low, effective and safe ingredients are substituted for cheap, synthetic ones. The customer who buys such a product is the loser.
Anti Aging Skin Ingredients
It is no secret to skin care companies as to what ingredients are the ones that work. But as mentioned already, those ingredients are not cheap and are therefore usually "watered down". I mean this literally. Read the label. The first listed ingredient is the largest in volume. It is probably water or petroleum jelly. Water being first doesn’t in itself make the product bad. But it better have some powerful ingredients to back it up. Otherwise you just bought a jar of petroleum-water. UGGHH.
What Should Be in Your Skin Care Product?
The ingredients that work, really work, should be a concentration of at least 50%. Half of the contents in the jar, bottle or tube should be safe and effective.
As said, water usually is the 50% in most bad, over the counter products that may be harmful to your face, neck and skin around the eyes. Filler ingredients, dyes, fragrances and parabens are abundant in many skin care lines. Read the label. I have more information on what products to avoid on my website listed below.
Department Stores and Drug Stores
High end and low end stores are not the place to get good quality products. One will overcharge you and the other is so cheap that most people fall for the so called savings. So where can a good quality product be found without being ripped off?
The internet is probably the best place today to find quality at an affordable price. Usually the best skin care companies are the ones that also carry a line of quality nutritional supplements. Let me warn you here. Not all internet companies have your interest at heart. And not all of their products, skin care or nutritional are natural. Some are synthetic. So you may as well go the the discount store. Here is what my research showed me. Please pay close attention.
Effective and Safe Skin Ingredients
CoQ10, Wakame Sea Weed, Grape Seed Extract, Vitamin E and Cynergy TK; These are the ingredients you need in your skin care products and in your nutritional supplements. If you don’t get these then you are wasting your money. I found one company that passed all the tests of safety, quality, effectiveness and price. See my website below for the complete details. Thank you, Margaret Bell

Botanical skin care products is just another name for organic or natural creams and lotions. There is a push around the world to use products that are healthier and chemical free. Many products found in stores today contain ingredients that are potentially harmful to your skin.
Botanical skin care products are safer and more effective than chemical based products. Some of the more harmful or dangerous ingredients are certain types of alcohol, fragrances, mineral oil and parabens or preservatives.
Parabens are preservatives that are added to prolong the shelf life of the product. They are banned in Europe as they are potential cancer causing agents. Avoid using a product that contains parabens.
Alcohols can dry out your skin and cause skin irritations. Fragrances can also cause skin irritations and allergic reactions. Mineral oil is used because it is a cheap additive and it makes your skin feel soft. However, it can clog your pores and that will lead to acne breakouts, which you do not want.
A botanical skin care product should be safe and effective. There are some amazing natural products on the market these days that use the latest technology in skin care treatment.
There are so many companies making natural products, how do you know which one to choose. I have done a of research on this and I have found a few companies that seem to deliver the goods. One of these companies has been around for a number of years and are located in New Zealand.
Their signature ingredient is a natural substance that helps to stimulate the re-growth of vital skin proteins that give our skin its healthy look and feel. This substance is called Cynergy TK and is derived from the wool of sheep in New Zealand. It is truly an amazing substance.
Choosing effective botanical skin care products requires looking at the ingredients. Just because a product is called organic, does not mean that it contains effective ingredients.
