Skin care is an everyday part of our lives. Having healthy,
good looking, skin is essential to our general well-being
and self-confidence. However there are so many products out
there that it can often be hard to find a beneficial,
healthy and well priced skin care facial cream. The problem
lies partly in the fact that skin care products are so
heavily marketed that it is often impossible to tell fact
from fiction. Every cosmetic company tells us their
products are better than their competitors, but we know
better than to trust everything advertisers tell us, don't
we?
So, how do we decide what makes a quality facial skin care
product? Good looking packaging? Or perhaps we could look
at what seems to be most popular at the time? Or, you could
assess the quality of a skin care product, in a more
logical manner, based on its ingredients. But herein lies
the fundamental problem. Unless you have studied chemistry
at university who among us knows what trietholamine or
propylparaben is? On the other hand in other skin care
products you can notice immediately that the ingredients
are everyday recognisable produce. You can see ingredients
like avocado, turmeric and green tea. These sort of
ingredients are much clearer to understand. We know that
all those ingredients mentioned above are, firstly,
natural, and secondly, safe. A good rule of thumb for skin
care products is; if it tastes ok then it will probably be
ok for your skin. This may sound strange but think about
it, who consciously wants to put something on their skin,
especially their face, that they would not at least taste.
If you were sat down in front of two baths, one full of
green tea and one full of propylparaben, which one would
you know is safe for your skin, even healthy. The point is
we seem to have been convinced that artificially produced
skin care products are as good as their natural
counterparts. This is just not true. Another way to think
about this is to think of the artificial banana flavour as
compared to a real banana, few if any of us would choose
the artificial flavour as superior to the real banana.
So, short of running surveys and polls on what makes a good
skin care product we can use everyday knowledge to
ascertain that natural products are probably alot better
for our skin than laboratory manufactured chemicals.
Laboratory chemicals are also relatively untested and their
long term effects are unknown as yet. Whereas we know that
green tea has been used for both cosmetic and medicinal
purposes for thousands of years.
