If you are about to go on a natural skin care shopping spree, you may be worried about how to sort through all the publicity and the glowing testimonials. Here are five tips to help you get through the jungle so that you do not need to spend a fortune. Here is the first tip Did you know that having a sunscreen built in to every skincare product is not necessarily a good or even healthy thing? This is not the best way to stop skin cancer. The best way is to have some sun exposure so that we can avoid getting a Vitamin D deficiency. If you are worried about skin cancer, then the best way is to avoid overexposure at the peak times of the day and to wear protective clothing. There is even research to show that some DNA damage can be done if we wear a sunscreen all the time. It simply is not necessary as we stay indoors most of our working lives. You can even find a sunscreen compound in some night creams! You can discard this product if you see it when you are on your natural skin care shopping outing. The second tip is to look out for the natural ingredients and they should be at the top of the list. That means they are there in sufficient quantities to really make a difference. The synthetic chemicals should NOT be there and they should certainly not be at the top of the list. Many companies put in their natural ingredients but they are there for show purposes only and to justify the natural label and they appear at the bottom. The third tip is to avoid placing too much importance on the words natural and hypoallergenic because there are no official definitions of these words by such bodies as the FDA. They can mean everything and nothing. It is rather like Alice in Wonderland as you can make it mean what you want! In addition some people are actually allergic to natural ingredients so hypoallergenic is pretty meaningless. The fourth tip is to look out for cutting edge ingredients which should all be essential oils, antioxidants and emollients which have been sourced from plant sources. The ones which are at the forefront of skincare technology are those which have been shown to boost collagen naturally from within the dermis, and also a type of seaweed called wakame which is such a powerful antioxidant that it can increase collagen as well. Then there are special essential oils which can nourish and moisturize because they are compatible with our own sebum. The fifth tip in natural skin care shopping is to make sure that any synthetics ending in DEA, MEA and TEA are absent as well as triclosan, ethylparaben and dioxane and phtalates although the latter are often just not listed as they are a plastcizing agent but they are harmful to human health. So there you have it. Five tips to help you when you go natural skin care shopping. I have done some research for you so my website will be a good place to start.
