Organic Anti Aging Skin Care is Best

Today, there is a proliferation of anti aging skin care products on the market, making it hard to chose a good quality skin care product that gives the results that you desire. In fact even so called organic anti aging skin care products are becoming the latest rage. Not necessarily for what they are, but because it sounds good, like you are doing something healthy for your skin.

True, there are some products that really are effective, enhancing the skin and really are good, making your skin appear smoother, more radiant and youthful. Also, a good anti aging skin care product will even out the skin's color, eliminating age spots, and other pigment concentrations, as well as reduce fine lines, and bags under and around the eyes.

However, when was the last time you checked the ingredients in your anti aging skin care product? You know, as I travel down the aisles of the grocery stores, I have noticed that more and more persons are beginning to read the labels of products that they buy.

But I have also noticed in the Cosmetic department, people just tend to pick any product, throw it into the buggy and leave, not even caring if they are actually endangering their health. Shouldn't we give as much attention to what we put on our skin as to what we put inside it? Also, with thousands of products to chose from, how can the consumer make a wise choice?

So, I have designed this website to help educate and expose some of the dangerous ingredients common in today's anti aging skin care products as well as ingredients that promote healthy skin.

People will do just about anything to look good.

The cosmetic industry is a multi billion dollar industry that is growing every day. Over $36 billion dollars are spent on personal care products each year. Plus, that number increases each year and experts predict it to double over the next five years.

The cosmetic industry manufactures have discovered that people will spend thousands of dollars to look good. As the demand for such products grow, the manufacturers will flood the market with products to capitalize on this market. And this is where the danger enters into the picture.

So many products are rushed onto the market shelves to meet the consumer's demand without any real research and development. The majority of the money is placed into marketing the product, ensuring sales instead of the consumer's health. I have grown tired of products that don't do what they claim to do or that have ingredients that can actually do more harm to our bodies, counteracting the healthy habits that we do have.

Although to be fair, it's understandable from the manufacturer's perspective. When you pay allot of money for the marketing, advertisements, and pretty containers, you're going to have to charge allot for the products or lose money.

But, you and I don't have to fall for this scheme. Although, to avoid it means we have to do the research ourselves. We have to be responsible for our health now and in the future. Willing to reap the benefits or suffer from our poor choices made now.

It is very important to keep in mind that your skin is your largest organ. Anything that you touch can easily be absorbed thru the skin. Anti aging skin care products are usually applied all over the face, neck and body, covering a large surface area. As a result, you absorb a great deal of chemicals. Just as our bodies use nature's gifts to heal and flourish, our skin is most healthy when we properly balance and strengthen it. Look younger and healthier by feeding your skin with health enhancing ingredients - what goes on your skin is immediately absorbed into your body.

So, before we open up our wallets and spend the money, do our homework now and learn what we are getting in return.

READ YOUR LABELS!

Many industrial strength chemicals are used in personal care products, such as Paraben and sulfate chemicals, which have been specifically proven to be toxic and detrimental to your health. The US government has tallied 5,000 chemical ingredients in cosmetics. You need for health reasons to avoid as much as possible certain chemical ingredients.

Did you know …

Chemicals absorbed through the skin on a daily basis are comparable to a poor quality, synthetic, fast food diet. Some chemicals that your skin takes in are pesticides, preservatives, and toxic fragrances that can effect endocrine function.

Many popular personal care products sold in our stores contain ingredients that have been banned in Europe, after studies concluded the effects can result in: carcinogen, causes allergic reactions and contact dermatitis; headaches; irritates mucous membranes; damaging to eyes; linked to joint and chest pain; depression; headaches; fatigue; dizziness and immune dysfunction.

Potentially harmful ingredients, often labeled as “safe chemicals”, are still commonly used because they are cheap, easily diluted, and universally available – a badly inadequate potentially harmful recipe.

Avoid These Harmful Anti Aging Skin Care Ingredients

It may be hard to believe but many anti aging skin care products are loaded with ingredients that over time, endangers your skin's health. Let's examine some of these:

Mineral oil-may also be mentioned as liquid paraffin, paraffin wax, and petrolatum on the product label. It's a cheap ingredient for the manufacturers to use. However, mineral oil actually smothers the skin, preventing it from breathing. Not only does it clog the pores, it interferes with your skin's natural ability to eliminate toxins. As a result, it can lead to acne flare ups, irritation and if you use it for any length of time, it can cause chapping, dryness and premature aging of the skin. The opposite of what we want to achieve by using it.

Dioxane-a synthetic derivative of coconut. Often, it contains high concentrations of 1,4-dioxane, which is easily absorbed thru the skin. Actually in California it is considered a dangerous chemical, "known to cause cancer".

Fragrances-something that shouldn't be found in skin care products, as many fragrances are produced from ingredients know to be carcinogenic or toxic.

Parabens-methyl, propyl, butyl and ethyl paraben are commonly used as a preservative. Studies have suggested that they cause cancer, allergic reactions, skin rashes, and interfere with the body's endocrine system.

Alcohols-ethanol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and SD alcohol are very drying and irritating to the skin, as they strip away your skin's natural acid mantle, exposing you to the dangers of bacteria, molds and viruses.

What about products that contain "active ingredients"? Well, actually this is a marketing tactic, designed to trick the public into thinking they are doing something healthy. What they do is, because the ingredients are expensive, and because most of the budget has gone for marketing, they don't put in enough of these "active ingredients" to be of any benefit.

What the Body Craves-Beneficial Anti Aging Skin Care Ingredients

To understand ingredients in anti aging products, it is important to remind ourselves about skin and what makes an ingredient good or poor.

The main reason our skin begins to sag or develop lines is because the collagen and elastin begins to break down.

Collagen is a fibrous protein. It's different from other proteins in that it possesses great tensile strength, which along with other benefits, adds firmness to the skin. As collagen breaks down due to aging, wrinkles appear and skin starts to sag.

You would then think that a product with lots of collagen would be good for your skin then. And that's what the manufacturers would have you believe. Beware! You see collagen molecules are actually too large to penetrate the skin when applied topically. To be of any benefit, you want to find a product that has ingredients proven to stimulate your body's own production of collagen.

Elastin is also a protein that supports the skin's elasticity, helping it to stay firm and flexible.

So, when you purchase an anti aging skin product, it only makes sense that you purchase a product that contains ingredients that stimulate new collagen and elastin production, if you want a more youthful appearance. Otherwise, what you are doing is applying a cream that fills in the lines and wrinkles, giving an appearance of temporary nicer skin, but the illusion disappears when you wash it off.

So what's a girl supposed to do for healthy younger looking skin without taking in all those poisons?

Recently I had a bout with a very deep, type of skin cancer and discovered the benefits of marine phytoplankton upon my health. Today, thankfully, the cancer is gone. After seeing the benefits that Marine Phytoplankton provides when taken internally, I decided to check out a skin care line that utilizes marine phytoplankton and other key ingredients to nourish the body, from the inside out, called "SecreSea".

What I have found is SecreSea skin care offers the best from land, using only the highest quality botanical ingredients, extracts, and essential oils to rejuvenate, nourish and purify your skin. Then, it also offers the best from the sea-marine phytoplankton. You will find SecreSea generously nourishes the skin with marine phytoplankton and then adds aloe vera, lavender, and other nutrients to support healthy skin WITHOUT harsh, toxic ingredients. It is a simple step system for youthful, vibrant, healthy skin. Secresea not only heals the skin, it smells good and feels good.

I found the price a little high at first (more than I would normally spend on my skin care products), but compared to the products offered in skin care salons, it's actually cheaper. Plus when you consider this stuff is actually healthy, it makes it well worth the price.

You owe it to yourself, to check this out:
