Finding the best skin care products can be difficult. How do you do it?

There’s a massive market in face skin care products. The market is worth $billions and so it’s like any other market worth big bucks. Competition is extreme and companies stand to make so much money that they will do whatever it takes to get their products sold.

The tobacco market is a good example of that. Lots of money to be made and the industry is made up of mega companies that are prepared to make products that, on their own admission now, kill their customers.

The skin care industry isn’t quite like that, don’t get me wrong. However there are elements of that approach involved. And not just the skin care industry but all personal care and beauty products like soaps, shampoos, cosmetics and much more.

There are many products on the market, both face skin care products and others, that contain ingredients that are less than desirable to go on our face, or our skin.

For a long time there has been doubt about the efficacy and safety of many of the ingredients of personal products. In other words how well do they work, and are they good for your health? And for some it’s a case of working well, but bad for your health.

Here’s an example. Lipsticks. Recent studies have found lead in over 50% of big brand name lipsticks tested. Everyone now knows that lead is bad for you, really bad. And it’s not just some obscure brand lipsticks, it’s big names found in the stores that you’re probably using right now.

There are many suspect ingredients found in face skin care products, cosmetics, soaps, shampoos and so on. Some are “known to cause cancer”.

Scary? Indeed it is and for many it’s enough to turn them away from mainstream products to look for niche products like natural face skin care products that only contain ingredients known to be safe for people to put on their skin.

There is a growing movement towards more natural skin care and anti aging products, and many big name companies are getting into the business of making safe and effective skin care products. L’Oreal is an example, having bought The Bodyshop for 652 million pounds to get a toehold in the natural products market.

So if you’re looking for good skin care what do you do? It’s important to understand the limitations of regular skin care products and think out of the box to find a source of high quality face skin care products that meet 2 critieria.

1.They’re safe to use.

2. They work well.

How do you do that? By finding a natural skin care company that makes top quality anti aging products that are known to work, and known to be safe. They do exist.

Lets talk about some of the ingredients you may find it natural face skin care products.

1. Cynergy TK. This is an ingredient found in the best natural skin care products. It is sourced from the wool of New Zealand sheep and is a patented ingredient in the best anti aging products. It stimulates the skin to produce more collagen and elastin that are the two essential components making up skin elasticity. Skin elasticity reduces as your skin ages because your skin loses essential supplies of collagen and elastin. As a youth your skin makes its own collagen and elastin however as you age your skin loses its ability to make these two essential skin proteins.

One of the primary goals of any good skin care product is to maximise the volume of collagen and elastin found in the skin. The traditional way of doing this to add elastin and collagen into the bottles of anti-ageing products are found on the shelves. However it has been known for quite some time the molecule size of collagen and elastin molecules is too large to enter the skin and therefore putting these two proteins in the bottles does not achieve anything.

So why see elastin and collagen in bottles of skin-care product? Because consumers will buy skin-care products with collagen and elastin listed on the label. It’s a marketing tool.

2. Phytessence Wakame. This is a seaweed found around the coast of Japan. The fact that Japanese women eat a lot of Phytessence Wakame in their regular diet, and Japanese women have fantastic skin, is no coincidence. Phytessence Wakame is packed with a wide range of vitamins and minerals that are essential for good skin health. For example it has around 15 times the amount of calcium found in milk. Calcium is very important to your skin.

If you combine natural ingredients like these which are known to be safe with a range of other natural ingredients such as oils from various fruits and nuts and put them into a natural face cream or face skin care line you can produce a range of products that is safe to use and stunningly effective. Organic face skin care products use only known safe and effective ingredients.

The best natural face skin products are manufactured by a small niche skin-care company that prides itself in both the safety and effectiveness of its range of natural face skin care products. It is so proud of its skin care line that it even offers an unconditional money back guarantee to new customers so that they can try the products risk free. Read the rest of this entry

Did you know that hundreds of women search “Japanese skin care” on the net every day?

Yes it’s true. The word “Japanese skin care” is very popular and searched regularly on the internet every day. And if you didn’t know why then you may be a little mystified about why so many women search this word.

After all, they don’t search “Finnish skin care” or “Scottish skin care” or skin care related to any other country.

So what is it about “Japanese skin care” that excites so many women? Lets find out.

The Japanese, or more specifically Japanese women, are known worldwide for their great skin right into old age. They have a lower incidence of wrinkles, for example, as they get older. And their skin just looks great.

Why? What is it about Japan that seems to result in Japanese women having such good skin?

Of course the Japanese have a good diet. They eat plenty of fish, which provides omega 3 oils, known to be good for your skin, they eat plenty of vegetables and rice and overall their diet is very healthy.

And as we have said here before, a good healthy diet is a great foundation for good skin, as healthy skin is found on a healthy body.

But is there more than just the Japanese diet to account for the great skin that seems so common to Japanese women? After all, there’s plenty of other countries where the people have great diets.

Yes there is another factor, and it’s only relatively recently that science has discovered one specific reason why Japanese women have such good skin. It’s related to one specific area of the Japanese diet.

What has been discovered is that there is a seaweed that is a big part of the Japanese diet that has all sorts of properties that contribute to healthy great looking skin. It’s a seaweed called Phytessence Wakame.

And the Japanese have eaten Phytessence Wakame for centuries, both fresh and dried. You’ve probably heard about how the Japanese eat seaweed, well this is it.

What is so good about Phytessence Wakame for the skin?

Phytessence Wakame is packed with such ingredients as calcium (15 times more than milk), a whole stack of minerals like sodium, iron, potassium, and a lot of the B group vitamins. It has antioxidants too, all important to the skin. And all of these are highly beneficial to the skin.

But there is one other thing about Phytessence Wakame that is very important to the skin. The most important benefit of eating seaweed to the Japanese skin.

You see there is an acid in the skin called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is absolutely essential to the ability of the skin to retain it’s elasticity and suppleness. And if you’ve done any research into skin care you’ll know that maintaining suppleness and elasticity is one of the essential goals of good skin care.

And there is also an enzyme in the skin called hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid. So Hyaluronidase is reducing the effects of that good acid.

And Phytessence Wakame slows up the effects of hyaluronidase, thereby allowing your skin to retain more hyaluronic acid, more elasticity and more suppleness.

There’s the secret of Japanese skin care, only recently discovered.

The really good news is that there is a company at the cutting edge of skin care research that now makes a skin care line with the essential ingredients of Phytessence Wakame included. And studies have shown that these products work extremely well at reducing the incidence of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.

Just like Japanese women find by eating it.

Now of course if you could find the right type of seaweed and eat lots of it you’d probably be able to get the same effects. But really, who wants to eat seaweed (apart from the Japanese)?

So if you’ve wondered about the secrets of Japanese skin care, and why so many Japanese women have such great skin, now you know why.

And now you too can benefit from the advantages of modern science which has allowed us too to benefit from the same seaweed that the Japanese eat, and get great skin care products that give you the benefits of eating Phytessence Wakame without actually eating it.

It’s probably pretty chewy anyway. Read the rest of this entry
