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

The anti aging and skin care industries are huge. Millions or billions of dollars are spent by consumers on anti aging skin care treatments, and so there is big money to be made. And there are plenty of big companies in the anti aging and cosmetics industry that take advantage of this.

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.

So you can also find that there are many dangerous ingredients in anti aging and skin care products, and the products don’t work very well.

But despite this they sell huge amounts of these products that advertise their ability to make you look younger. Everywhere you look you see products telling you they will make you younger and 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?

This is how not to choose your anti aging products.

1. Make sure you don’t buy any anti-aging products that contain fragrances. The big companies put fragrances in their skin care ranges because they know we like to look younger and smell good.

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.

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. 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.

Yes and no. Yes we need to replace that lost collagen, and no adding it to the bottles of anti-aging products like those moisturizers and day creams and night creams and so on doesn’t work. It doesn’t work because collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin, and so it just stays on the surface.

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

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.

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.

But all this fancy TV advertising costs a bomb, and the celebrity needs her huge cut.

So although that anti-aging product is really just making you smell better and not much else it sells big time because people assume that if it costs that much it has to be good.

So there is 2 things to avoid when looking for a good anti aging skin care treatment. There’s more but this is getting long.

Does all this mean that you should give up on anti aging creams and products because they don’t work? Not at all. There are excellent anti aging products that work fine, produced from ingredients from plants that are safe to use.

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.
