The Best Way To Choose The Wrong Anti Aging Skin Care Products

By Peter Albertonach

The anti aging skin care products and cosmetics industries are huge businesses, turning over billions of dollars a year. There are lots of US women looking for solutions to looking younger and looking good, and plenty of big companies that take advantage of this.

But that doesn't mean that the products work well, and there are many big brand name anti-aging skin care products that do very little. There is no government regulation in the US requiring companies to demonstrate that their products work or that they even use safe ingredients.

So as well as the fact that many skin care products don't work they can contain dangerous ingredients.

But even so there are massive numbers of skin care and anti aging products sold and advertised for their ability to make your skin look younger and you look great.

So how do you navigate through all the hype and choose a range of anti aging skin care treatments that actually work, and don't contain dangerous ingredients?

This is how not to choose your anti aging products.

1. Don't buy skin care and anti aging products with fragrances. Now we all like to smell good, and the big companies know that so use fragrances. Look younger and smell good at the same time.

Unfortunately there's 2 problems here. First the skin care cream or other anti-aging cream that you've bought probably won't do much to make you look younger.

And secondly, fragrances are chemicals and not good to put on your skin. Same with perfumes, but with a perfume you just put a little dab here and there, with a skin care cream you apply it to a much wider area.

2. Don't buy anti aging skin care creams with collagen in them. Now we all know that as we age our skin loses collagen, so surely we need collagen replaced to combat the sagging and wrinkling and lines that come with skin aging?

Not necessarily. Yes it's good to replenish the collagen, however collagen molecules are quite large and don't really enter the skin. So rubbing it on might make you feel good, but doesn't really add to the levels of collagen in your skin.

The only way to increase the levels of collagen in our skin is to stimulate the skin to make more collagen itself.

So if putting the collagen in the bottle does nothing why is it in the bottle and why are those big name celebrities on TV telling you how well it works? Because they know there's lots of money to be made. That having collagen in the bottles sells lots of bottles.

So it may not do much, and it may have dangerous chemicals in it like fragrances, but it still sells like hot cakes.

That's marketing for you.

Problem is, all this marketing is expensive. The good looking celebrity has to be paid, usually lots, the fancy bottles need to be purchased, and the advertising costs a bomb.

So the anti aging skin care treatment that really doesn't do much costs a bomb too. But that's ok because people believe that if it's expensive it must be good. So they pay anyway.

And there's lots more things to avoid when choosing a good anti-aging skin care treatment. That's 2, for more visit my website.

So the obvious conclusion is that you should give up using anti aging creams and other skin care products because they don't work. But no don't give up. There are some excellent anti aging products that work just fine and are moderately priced. Made from ingredients that are known to be effective and known to be safe.

But they aren't made by the big name brands but by small niche companies that you've probably never heard of. They don't spend on TV advertising which is why the products are moderately priced and why you've never heard of them.

But there's no need to despair. I've told you about some of the things you need to avoid when buying anti-aging skin care products. And that there are excellent alternatives. Now it's up to you. Find out more about natural skin care products on my website.
