Read on to find the facts before spending on these costly creams and lotions and repair serums..

Moisturizers

Even normal skin needs protection from these effects of simple living. Aging, the sun, the general environment, all take their toll.

If the skin is to remain smooth and supple, it needs to maintain an adequate moisture level. It is constantly losing its natural moisture, however, through the epidermis(outermost layer of skin) by:

• exposure to the elements - sun, wind, cold .
• excessive use of degreasing products(soaps,cleansers) on the skin
• central heating and air conditioning
• sebum flow slowing down with age.

The best facial moisturizer is honey that hydrates the skin, and/or protects the skin from dehydration.Click here to find out the best Moisturizer

Cleansers:
Cleansers are meant to clean the pores of the dirt ,dust and oil accumulated inside .Before buying any cleanser ,check the ingredient to see if there is Soduim Laureth Sulphate .It is used as a foaming agent in workshops to get rid of the grease.
And we pay a handsome amount to buy a reputed brand cleanser in which the main ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulphate ! How much harm are we doing to our skin ?

Facials : which one works best?

Exfoliation(removal of the outer layer of skin) is the engine of skin renewal. It releases dulling surface flakes to reveal clearer, smoother skin-perfectly prepped for moisture. Optimizes cell turnover. Uncovers skin's natural radiance.
In normal skin, it takes about 30 days for a cell produced by the basal layer(innermost layer) to move through the epidermis to the surface. When the outer layer of skin is lost quickly -perhaps after sunburn - they are replaced more quickly from below.
Artificially removing the outer layers by the cosmetic process of peeling (facials) also tends to speed up replacement.That's the reason we feel a fresh glow to or face 2 or 3 days after getting a facial. It doesn't make any difference if we pay a 100 for an ordinary facial or a 1000 for a gold or pearl facial.Essentially all the benefit lies in the removal of dead skin layer by the 15 minute massage while getting a facial.
Next time you go for a facial ,go for the ordinary one with a good facial massage to improve the blood circulation ! Don't waste money on gold and pearls ....

Get rid of dark circles in 6 weeks
Eye cream ingredients have become increasingly high-tech, as you've probably seen from the eye candy ads . Read a few labels and you'll see ingredients including retinol, vitamin C, alpha-hydroxy acids and more.
Retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, copper, and vitamin C actually work under the skin to stimulate collagen growth. Because collagen supports the skin from within, stimulating its growth may, over time, firm the skin and smooth lines and wrinkles.We may try the costliest of under eye creams/gels for months without any desirable results.
The best thing to do to get rid of dark circles is to have a daily dose of Vitamin C through lemon juice or gooseberries or a Vitamin C tablet and going to bed before midnight and getting 6 - 8 hours of continous sleep.

Sunscreen Lotions - beware of them !

UV Radiation and Wrinkles
Both UVA and UVB radiation cause wrinkles by breaking down collagen, creating free radicals, and inhibiting the natural repair mechanisms of the skin.

• UVA (aging) rays cause most wrinkles.
• UVB (burning) rays are the main cause for sunburns and skin cancer.

Always carry an umbrella or wear a wide brimmed hat .Infact exposure of our body to 20 minutes of sun is very beneficial to our bodies as it is essential for making Vitamin D in our body.
The only sunblock is zinc oxide cream which is white in color that blocks the harmful rays.All other chemical sunscreens have very harmful chemicals that are shown to have it's presence enen in the breast milk of women who use them.Beware of chemical sunscreens that are mostly carcinogenic.
