What Are The Worlds Best To Worst Skin Care Products?

Surprisingly one of the most common questions about skin care products is "which are the best to worst skin care products"?

So today I thought I would deal with this question, but perhaps not give quite the answer that you might expect. I'm not going to give you a list of the best skin care products listing the best to worst skin care products 1 to 10.

That's because I don't believe that women who are asking themselves which is the best skin care products are asking the right question. There is a more important question to ask before you select a skin care range.

The most important question you should ask is one which almost no one asks.

The question is which are the SAFEST skin care products?

SAFEST? You can't be suggesting that skin care products are unsafe to use can you?

Lots, sadly. Most of the big brand name skin care and anti aging products that are common household names (and which you may well use now) contain ingredients that are at best suspect and at worst "known to cause cancer". It's the same for many well known cosmetics, body and personal care and beauty products too.

Here's one example.

A recent study found lead in over 50% of big brand lipsticks tested.

And yes, you're right, it's really bad to get lead into our bodies. And there's lead in big name lipsticks that you may even be using today. There's lots more examples of dangerous ingredients in skin care and anti aging products and cosmetics and personal care products, that's just one.

The problem is now so serious that whole organizations have been set up to combat this problem of dangerous ingredients in cosmetics and anti aging skin care products and other personal products.

Can this be possible? Yes, because the FDA isn't required to test any of the ingredients of cosmetics and skin care products for safety, and so any ingredient the big companies want to use they can. And many of these ingredients are banned in Europe.

And you know how much big companies care about your health. Not at all. Just look at the cigarette companies for an example.

So the first thing you need to do before asking which are the best to worst skin care products is to establish which are SAFE skin care products.

There are some excellent natural skin care products available. They can be made from extracts from plants, or from the wool of sheep, or seaweed perhaps. But only from ingredients known to be safe.

The company that makes the worlds best skin care products has made a commitment to using only ingredients in their products that are safe enough to eat.

So sorry, for those looking for a list of the best to worst skin care products, I haven't produced a list. And anyway most of the big name products (apart from being unsafe to use) wouldn't be on it anyway, most do very little. Strangely it's unlikely that you've even heard of the company that makes the best skin care products, and they even back up the quality of their products with a money back guaranteed, so you can try risk free.

Can You Rate the Collagen and Elastin Enhancers You Find in Skin Care Products?

Collagen and elastin are the two most important proteins in our skin. And replacing lost collagen and elastin is an essential task of any good skin care product. Can you rate the collagen and elastin enhancers you find in skin care products?

And you find lots of these enhancers in skin care products.

Firstly lets look at what collagen and elastin in skin do. These two skin proteins are responsible for keeping our skin thick, strong and supple, and elastic. They help maintain skin health and are produced by the skin itself.

And as we age our skin loses it's store of these skin proteins because the skin is less able to replace lost collagen and elastin. So as our stores deplete our skin starts to lose it's suppleness and strength and elasticity, and it starts to get thinner. We start to notice dry skin more commonly, wrinkles, skin sagging, lines and age spots.

All symptoms of skin aging.

So it makes sense to replace them, hence the reason why people ask if you can rate the collagen and elastin enhancers in skin care products.

Because many anti aging products contain collagen and elastin, the intention is that these will penetrate the skin and replenish it's stores of these two essential skin proteins.

But there is a huge problem with this approach that has been known to science for some time. Molecules of elastin and collagen are too large to penetrate the skin, so when applied topically to the skin, in other words smeared on, they don't go in.

So the answer to the question if whether you can rate the collagen and elastin enhancers you find in anti aging products is yes, you can. They all get a big zero because they do nothing.

Why is the elastin and collagen there? To sell the bottles, because people believe that it works having them in the bottles.

So what do you do about replacing those lost skin proteins?

There is one range of skin care products that attack the problem quite differently. They contain an ingredient that actually stimulates the skin to produce more of it's own elastin and collagen.

Neat heh? And it works too. Results of studies are very impressive.

So, can you rate collagen and elastin enhancers? Yes, Zero. Use products that make the skin produce it's own.
