The Way To Not Choose Your Anti Aging Skin Care Products- By: Peter Albertonach

Description : Anti aging products and skin care products is a massive industry. Millions or even billions of dollars are spent every year by women who are looking for anti aging skin care treatments that will keep their skin healthy and looking younger. And there are plenty of big companies in the anti aging and cosmetics industry just waiting to take advantage.

But many mainstream anti aging skin care products just don't work. The cosmetics and skin care industry is quite unregulated in the US, and so the big cosmetics and skin care companies can put any product on the market without first proving that it works, and even without showing that it is safe for the people who use it.

As a result there are many anti aging skin care treatments available that don't work, and contain suspect, or known to be 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 your way through all this to choose an anti aging skin care treatment that does work, and doesn't contain ingredients that you should be scared of?

Here's how not to choose good anti aging products.

1. Don't buy any skin care products that include fragrances in them. Now of course everyone likes to smell good, and the cosmetics companies pander to that, by adding fragrances to their products. Apply the cream and smell good and look young all at the same time.

There's 2 problems. Firstly you won't look younger because chances are the skin cream won't make you look younger, though you may feel good about having used it.

Secondly, fragrances are not good chemicals to put on your skin. Because that's what they are, chemicals that smell good, and many of them aren't that good for you. It's the same with perfumes, for example, but if you apply a perfume it's only a small squirt on one spot, it's not massaged all over your face where it disappears, into your blood. So just use a perfume instead.

2. Resist buying anti-aging skin care products containing collagen. But surely everyone knows that as we age our skin loses collagen and so starts to sag and wrinkle and form lines, so we need to replace that collagen.

Well yes and no. We do need to replace the collagen, but collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin, so putting collagen in the bottle does nothing, other than making you feel good perhaps.

But you can increase the levels of collagen in the skin by stimulating the skin to produce more of it's own collagen.

However remember, the big cosmetics and anti aging companies are in the business of selling their products. If they put collagen on the label people buy it. And if they put it in a fancy bottle and get a good looking celebrity to say how much younger they look using it, then it will sell.

Even if it's got dangerous ingredients in it like fragrances and doesn't do all that much it still sells fast.

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 even though that anti aging treatment doesn't do much, other than make you smell better, it costs a bomb. And people assume if it costs that much it has to work.

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 maybe you should just give up on anti-aging products because they don't work? No. There are excellent anti-aging products that work fine, are moderately priced and use ingredients known to be safe.

But these products aren't made by the mainstream companies you would know now. They are made by small niche skincare companies that don't advertise on TV. Because they don't spend megabucks on TV advertising their products are competitively priced, and that 's also why you've probably never heard of these companies.

Don't despair. I've shown you just some of the things to avoid when choosing anti aging skin care products, and told you there are excellent alternatives. Now it's up to you. Find out more on my website.
