Decoding the Mystery and Hype of Skin Care: What Actually Makes a Great Skin Care Product?

MONTREAL, QC, June 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) The basics: A basic cream is just an emulsion. It will moisturize your skin but your wrinkles will not diminish, the firmness and tightness of your facial skin will not change and your complexion will not improve.

Many emulsions are made with petroleum or a synthetic base and will block the skin's pores. People know this by now and yet it is amazing that in 2011 so many products are still made this way. The key reason is price. They are cheap and will create a protective barrier over the skin, but not the type of barrier our skin needs. Unfortunately their synthetic molecules are not readily accepted by the body, can clog pores, cause irritation and even contaminate our vital organs. Moreover, there is a lot of controversy about these ingredients being linked to various cancers.

Botanical based emulsions will allow the skin to breathe. After all, they come from living, breathing plants and not from deep in the ground. However, not all botanical based emulsions are equal. Certain key botanical ingredients stand out among others as true stars and have been proven to offer superior protection and hydration.

For any emulsion to offer anti-aging results it must contain key active ingredients. Research has proven how certain active botanical ingredients can produce tangible results in our quest for great skin. We are now able to target specific areas and correct the signs of aging.

For the consumer who understands these basic principles, confusion can come when they attempt to read a label for active ingredients. Unfortunately, putting one single drop of an agent into a huge vat of synthetic emulsion still allows it to be listed as an active ingredient. Active ingredients are expensive and clearly some products are offering more than others. Moreover, certain active ingredients give better results. However, paying a lot or buying a product because it is listed as "organic" isn't even a guarantee. Sometimes a product is just a lot of marketing hype. Furthermore, when the price of a product seems too low, it would be wise to remember the expression "You might not always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for."
