Skincare

Let’s face it … What do you get when you buy cheap skin products? You get a lot of petrochemicals and not much else. If you read the label of ingredients and then look up those chemical names, you will see that, other than water, the vast majority of them are petrochemicals.

Petrochemicals are compounds made from petroleum, coal, natural gas or crude oil. They include propylene glycol, ethylene oxide, ethanol, oxybenzone, benzophenone, toluene, benzoic acid, parabens, petrolatum, mineral oil, paraffin and many others. But, those are among the most commonly seen ingredients in cleansers, lotions, astringents and other cheap skin products.

None of those things are good for your skin’s health. Cosmetic companies have relied on them, practically for as long as cosmetics have existed. There has never been any reason to believe that the use of these chemicals is beneficial and now, we know that many of them do more harm than good.

For example, petrolatum, mineral oil and paraffin, which are common ingredients in lotions and creams, clog the pores, cause greasiness and do not actually moisturize. Oxybenzone and benzophenone are common sun screening compounds. Researchers have found that they actually cause free radical damage, something that sunscreens are supposed to help prevent.

Ingredients derived from plants and sheep’s wool are much more beneficial and completely safe. Shea butter, avocado oil, grape seed oil and kelp extracts are just some of the plant-based compounds that improve your skin’s health. Lanolin and keratin, which are extracted from sheep’s wool, are safe and effective moisturizers that do not clog the pores.

Shea butter is nearly identical to the skin’s own sebum. Petroleum-based oils bare no resemblance to the natural oils produced by the human body. There are different grades of Shea butter. The pharmaceutical grade has been shown to smooth out wrinkles, reduce age spots, and help fade stretch marks, reduce inflammation and act as a natural sunscreen.

If you see Shea butter listed as an ingredient in cheap skin products, it is not pharmaceutical grade and/or the amount that is included will be tiny, when compared to the chemical compounds present in the mix.

Keratin, when extracted from sheep’s wool and processed gently, has been shown to stimulate the production of new skin cells, increase the skin’s moisture content, restore firmness and reduce inflammation. If you see keratin listed as an ingredient in cheap skin products, the manufacturer will have used animal hooves and horns, high heat and harsh chemicals to soften them. The result is that the protein is no longer active. The skin’s cells can’t use it.

All of those bottles of products on the shelves of your local stores are a worthless waste of money that could damage your long-term health and will definitely damage your appearance.

The bottom line, don’t buy cheap skin products.

I’m sure that you have noticed that it has become tremendously difficult to find sensitive skin care creams and lotions on the market.  It seems that even though there are many creams available that are marketed as sensitive skin products they simply do not fit the bill.  It really shouldn’t be as difficult as it is to find skin care products that won’t irritate your skin.

The problem with the majority of sensitive skin care creams is that they contain ingredients such as various alcohols that dry, and irritate your skin.  Of course the dozens of other chemicals of which the popular products are made could very well have something to do with the redness, and irritation.  Many of these chemicals cause a high number of allergic reactions, which actually could be what you are suffering.

Dermatologists have stated that the chemicals in sensitive skin products as well as others are the number one cause for the cases that they see.  The U.S. FDA has tried to take measures banning the use of these chemical agents used in cosmetics products, but have thus far been turned back by the courts.  It is a shame when even the regulatory agencies can do nothing to improve the quality, and safety of our cosmetics.

Of course you have far more to worry about from the chemical agents in sensitive skin care creams than simple allergic reactions, and irritations.  Many of the ingredients that are commonly used in the big name cosmetics products have been proven to cause cancer when they are absorbed into the body.  I suggest that you avoid such products in favor of those that contain only natural ingredients in them.

The best type of ingredients for sensitive skin products to contain are plant based oils, and extracts.  These contain properties that more closely resemble those of our skins own oil than any other ingredients that are available.  Not only are plant based ingredients gentle and soothing to your skin, but they also are excellent antioxidants, so they will heal damaged skin.

Sensitive skin care products that contain a wealth of antioxidants are important in order to repair all of the damage that free radicals have done to your skin over the years.  Aside from the antioxidants that you receive from the plant based ingredients in your products you will also want the inclusion of Natural vitamin E, and nano-emulsified CoenzymeQ10.

How would you like it if I told you that there is a line of sensitive skin products that was developed in New Zealand that would significantly increase the amount of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in your skin all through the use of all natural ingredients?  I would think that you would be itching to try a product that not only did not irritate your skin, but would also take years off of your appearance.

All natural is how a sensitive skin care cream should be.  You need to switch from the brands that you are currently using and give these collagen building products a try.  You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain by using them.

I have a confession to make regarding male skin products – I didn’t ever bother using them! Now my deep facial wrinkles are a pain in the you know where?

So why is it that mid to older age men don’t use male skin products? I guess we didn’t really think about skin care and were ignorant of skin degradation issues, and the consequences of skin cell damage particularly dry skin and deep wrinkle formation.

As it happens I have been a golfer for 50 years exposing myself to the very hot sun and intense UV sunrays. It’s only been in the last 25 years that I applied sunscreen and wore a golf cap regularly.

Up until 4 months ago I didn’t ever use any facial skin cream other than sun block out cream. I had very dry and sometimes-itchy skin, large bloated sagging bags under my eyes. Deep wrinkles besides my eyes that run around and under my bags with 2 lines on each cheek running all the way down to join my mouth lines, completing their journey at my sagging jowls.

It’s not a pretty sight; I believe it made me look 10 years older, tired and unhealthy looking. I exercise and am reasonably fit for my age, don’t smoke, eat properly and rarely drink alcohol. Yet my skin ages me badly.

Five months ago I started researching ways to improve my skin without having botox or collagen injections or other types of invasive procedures. I was going to try and find the best skin creme for men I could find that might help me improve my skin.

Now not knowing much about skin creams at the time, and being a bit skeptical in my old age led me to discard most of the products I looked at initially. Honestly, the Internet is great for information and there are some good sites. But, on the other hand some of the crap they dish up to us with dodgy advertising never ceases to amaze me.

My research convinced me there was little merit or benefit in using cosmetic, chemical and synthetic based products that included petroleum, parabens and other substances I couldn’t even pronounce. So I narrowed it down to only natural products with all natural ingredients.

Finally, I settled on a product line from a small New Zealand company that has been regarded as a leader in supplying the best and most active natural substances in their range of supplements for over 9 years. They released their all-natural skin care line about 9 months ago.

What impressed me about their site and products is that it’s all there to see and read. They list all their men and women’s skin care range, itemize each ingredient then explain in detail what it is and what it does. Some ingredients are unique and not available yet to most large manufacturers.

I have been using their active day cream, restorative night cream, eye contour gel and active body lotion for 12 weeks now every day. I have to say I’m surprised and pleased with the results to date. The sagging bags under my eyes are about 40% reduced.

My deep wrinkles have improved and changed shape because the skin has thickened and plumped out a little because of the re-growth of collagen and elastin proteins. I don’t expect to get rid of them completely, but they improve each day.

The wrinkle improvement, plus the moisturizing, nourishing and hydrating of my skin has made a big difference to its texture, smoothness and look. I now look my age and maybe even a little younger and the skin is certainly healthier.

I have written this article in the hope some of you middle and older aged men become more aware of looking after your skin and using male skin products. Don’t let your skin deteriorate to the level mine was only 3 months ago through ignorance about male skin care.

If your interested, at my website I discuss more skin care issues and male skin products, that I have chose to use after careful research and evaluation

Creams, gels and ointments containing topical anesthetics such as lidocaine, tetracaine, benzocaine and prilocaine can be valuable in relieving or preventing pain. But they can be dangerous when used by patients without medical supervision. FDA is aware of two instances in which young women applied these preparations before laser hair removal. They wrapped the affected areas in plastic wrap to increase the numbing effect. Both women experienced seizures, became comatose and died. FDA has other reports of serious side effects from these anesthetic skin preparations, including cardiac arrhythmias, coma, and respiratory failure. If patients are considering medical or cosmetic skin procedures, advise them to consult a healthcare professional about whether a topical anesthetic is needed and, if so, how it can be safely used. Here are some recommendations for patients to consider: • First, patients should be advised to use a topical anesthetic approved by FDA. These can be found by searching for its name or active ingredient in FDA’s Electronic Orange Book of Approved Drug Products. If it is not there, it may not be approved. • Patients should use a topical product that contains the lowest concentration of anesthetic drug that will satisfactorily relieve pain. They should apply as little of the product as possible, for the shortest possible time. • Patients should get instructions from a healthcare professional on how to safely use the product, particularly if there will not be …

This was sent to me from username – Soccerchikee and it’s her direct quote, copied and pasted. “i have this one friend who struggles with acne and she said that ever since she started using “Tea Tree Oil” its been like.. sooo much better. Like waay better. I can even see the difference. And the amazing thing is, its all natural. No chemicals involved whatsoever. I thought i would mention that since in a few of ur videos u mentioned you like natural or organic products. So anyway its totally natural and you can get it at Trader Joes. ( i dont know if thats a local store or not, so if you have no idea what Trader Joe’s is, then sorry) but you can get it probably at any like.. healthy store. The company that makes it is called Desert Essence and theyre just little facial wipes that you can cleanse with in the morning and evening and yea. Desert Essence also makes like facial wash and on-the-spot stuff, too…” ~Much love, you guys ♥

Acne skin products act rapidly to make acne disappear while leaving your skin with a cleaner healthier appearance and are usually affordable and easy to use. The increased concern about acne in recent years has led to a flood of a whole new generation of skin care products that are easier to use and more effective. The regular use of these mild acne skin products can help prevent further outbreaks.

Acne Skin Products are new generation products that cleanse the face in depth without being aggressive.  They help to limit bacterial proliferation and as a result your face will be free from impurities.  These products will eliminate acne and give you a pleasant texture that helps limit oil secretion and the proliferation of bacteria, helping an acne-prone face become cleaner, healthier in a very short time.

There are three main categories of acne treatment products: OTC or over the counter, topical which are creams, and oral acne medications. Over the counter products are readily available at pharmacies and online prescription stores. For some topical and oral acne medicines you may need to make an appointment with a dermatologist for advice and a prescription.

Over the counter acne skin products normally contain one of the following medications; benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, resorcinol, or sulfur. Of these benzoyl peroxide is the most widely used and can be found in many acne products including Neutrogena, On-The-Spot, Oxy 10, and Clearasil. These products are designed for skin that experiences occasional breakouts and help maintain the skin’s physiological balance and get rid of harmful bacteria. Be sure to follow the product directions carefully and give an OTC product at least six to eight weeks to work.

Acne skin care products have evolved to be the best possible solutions for acne and have been developed to influence the factors that trigger the outbreak of acne.  They are available in many forms such as lotions, gels, ointments, creams or pads.  The proper cleaning of the affected area is an important part of the acne treatment and the specific skin care product will help to clean the surface without further irritation to the lesion.  Along with the management of the acne without complication, the main focus of acne skin products is to ensure that scars do not form.

When it comes to male skin products, what is the best type to use? The popularity of these products has been increasing significantly in the last few years. Men are much more concerned with the overall appearance and the health of their skin. This is why the large cosmetic companies are creating new products for men all the time.

The problem with most of the male skin products on the market is that they just do not contain the most effective ingredients. In order to repair the damage to your skin caused by the suns ultra violet rays, pollutants in the air and the aging process, you need an effective natural skin care product.

Avoid using chemical or synthetic products because of the potential harmful side effects. Many of the male skin products on the market contain ingredients that can be harmful. This includes fragrances, mineral oil and parabens. None of these things are needed in a skin cream. Fragrances can cause skin irritations and allergic reactions.

Mineral oils will leave your skin feeling soft, however they can clog your pores, which will lead to other skin problems such as acne breakouts. Parabens are preservatives that are added to prolong the shelf life of the product. They are potential cancer-causing agents and should be avoided.

The best male skin products contain specific natural ingredients that will help with the re-growth of fiber-like skin proteins. These proteins are vital to maintaining healthy skin because as we age, our body stops producing these proteins. Therefore, our skin needs help to re-generate more.

One of the most effective natural ingredients used is called Cynergy TK. It is found in only the best products and currently, you will likely not find many large cosmetic companies using it, if any at all.

Cynergy TK is rich in functional keratin, which helps to replenish skin cells with the skin proteins collagen and elastin. It helps restore your skin to a more youthful look and feel. Cynergy TK is one of the most effective natural substances used in male skin products.

If you can find a product containing Cynergy TK, then after just a few weeks of regular use, you will notice a reduction of the lines and wrinkles on your skin.
