You see, for much of the last 50 years, skin care products have been limited to those produced by a small group of companies who base their product formulations on cheap, synthetic chemicals. �These companies found out, early on, these chemical substances cost practically nothing (i.e. around a nickel-a-jar), and were easy to combine into pleasant-smelling, silky-feeling creams and lotions.�
The funny thing is, though, many of these chemicals also appear in other products which have nothing to do with taking care of your skin. �
For example, one chemical which is found in a whole bunch of different applications is propylene glycol. Besides cosmetic products, you will also find this synthetic chemical in salad dressing, anti-freeze, brake fluid and varnish.�
The main drawback to using chemical ingredients in skin care products lies in their synthetic molecular structure. �Your skin's molecular structure is natural, and thus, it is impossible for the two to work together. All these chemical ingredients can do is apply a thick cosmetic film on the surface of your skin, giving a temporary look and feel of firmer skin.�
Unfortunately, the effect is lost once your face is washed.
But compare this to natural, bio-active substances which have a molecular structure which allows them to penetrate deeply through all the layers of the skin to reach the cellular level. Once they reach the target destination, powerful nutrients are released which nourish, heal and restore healthy cell function.
With cells operating a optimum levels, your body's stores of structural proteins (collagen and elastin) are replenished. Over time, your skin begins to heal and becomes more firm, smooth, elastic and even-toned.
The best ingredients to firm skin, identified and tested by scientists, include natural plant-based oils, proteins, vitamins, and enzymes. These collagen-stimulating substances are extracted from avocado, macadamia nut, jojoba and grapeseed oils, active Manuka honey, New Zealand sheep wool, natural vitamin E, Japanese sea algae, Co Enzyme Q10 and others.�
Rigorous testing on human volunteers has revealed significant increases in collagen and elastin, natural moisture retention and the growth of new skin cells. �Ultimately, the fabric of the skin is strengthened, retoring a firm tone and texture to your complexion.
Make no mistake about it! You'll never achieve these, or any, results with skin firming products made from synthetic chemical ingredients.
So, know that you have this information, what's your next step? Do yourself a favor and look for clinically-proven products formulated with high concentrations of the best ingredients to firm skin.
