When you are hungry and your body feels tired you need rest and sustenance. You nourish your body with good natural food to give you the energy to survive and function. Having fuelled your inner parts you feel much better.
But what about your outer parts, your face, neck, hands and body skin?
This too requires to be fed with good natural skincare products to maintain colour, texture, smoothness and vitality. Everyone wants to look their best and as youthful as the years allow.
When you apply a product externally the ingredients are absorbed through the layers of your skin and enter the bloodstream. In effect your skin eats the product's ingredients rather like your daily food intake is digested by your internal organs.
You can now see that you need to be as selective about the food you apply externally as the food you ingest.
Your problem is deciding what products are right for you. With so many leading brands on the market you may feel spoilt for choice. You see advertisements on television, in newspapers and magazines making unbelievable claims to care for your skin.
But let the buyer beware.
What the product manufacturers will not tell you is that there may be a low concentration of some active ingredients in a particular product; active ingredients being those that improve the health of your skin. Nor are you likely to be informed of any harmful chemicals which are hidden within to preserve and fragrance their products. Many, if not all expensive supposedly natural skincare products contain cheap and harmful chemical preservatives. Studies have suggested that these may contribute to breast cancer and affect oestrogen levels. In fact one leading brand contained Triclosan, which is classified as a pesticide. Triclosan destroys good bacteria.
Would you put a pesticide on your skin? I think not.
However, there is hope. There are manufacturers who are concerned about the health of your skin. To find them requires a little research. When you find them and you will, your efforts will be pleasantly rewarded.
The skincare products you really want should be composed of high-quality, pure natural anti aging skin care ingredients, safe enough for you to eat. They should also be devoid of all harmful chemicals. Your choice, therefore, is not too difficult. You need to be patient.
