The Truth about Anti-Aging Moisturizer Reviews

You might disagree, but hear me out on this.  I have to be honest with you about the information that you get from typical anti-aging moisturizer reviews.  If it is advice on what the best anti wrinkle face moisturizer for your skin is, then you would do well to forget that you even saw it.  I am going to explain to you why it is that you typically cannot follow the advice that these sources offer you, and then give you a little advice of my own.

Before you click away from this page let me explain to you that I don’t do anti-aging moisturizer reviews, but I do know a little something about what it is that you should look for in a product if you want to be successful in treating your skin.  Unlike what you hear from the media sources that are the subject of this article, anything you get from me will be unbiased.

The reason that I mention product bias is because those that conduct said reviews will have a tendency to favor one anti wrinkle face moisturizer, or an entire brand, over all others.  The reason for this is simple, and it is something that most people don’t seem to think about when they read the reviewers comments.  It is because they are making money for saying the things that they do.

]]>

Most of the anti-aging moisturizer reviews that you see in the magazines, or over the internet, are paid for by one of the major cosmetics companies.  It may be indirectly, such as through advertising dollars poured into media like television and magazines, or it may be less subtle as through direct sponsorship of a website.  Either way the person doing the review is working for this company.

This is why you will never hear the complete set of facts about the anti wrinkle face moisturizer being talked about.  You will find out about ingredients that it has that have proven to be safe and effective, and they will make you a lot of promises about what the product will supposedly do.  If the product contains chemical agents that have been proven to cause cancer however, it is generally left out.

Since most of the products covered in anti-aging moisturizer reviews come from the major corporations in the industry, it is a pretty safe bet that they do have these chemicals in them.  They also may contain agents that cause organ and neurotoxicity.  The odds are good that they are in there, because the major cosmetics companies are famous for using these chemicals as a way of cutting costs.

I am not going to tell you what anti wrinkle face moisturizer to buy, but I am going to say that what you need to do is select a product that is 100% all natural.  These natural compounds work far more effectively on your skin than do any of the synthetic agents that you will find, and the best thing is that they will not pose a threat to your health.

Anti-aging moisturizer reviews are not where you need to be looking for advice.

Removing The Oily Skin With Homemade Products

Don’t you just hate it how one part of your face is oily and shiny, while another is dry and flakey? It seems almost impossible to be able to clean both zones equally. Soap just makes the dry areas drier and lotions make the oily areas even greasier. So what’s a woman to do?

The problem may lie in the facial cleansing products that you are using. While they may work well for your T-zone, the chemicals in the product may actually be removing too much of the natural oils from the rest of your face. That’s the evil of manufactured skin care products. Anyway you look at it, it’s practically impossible to buy a completely natural skin care product made from pure organic ingredients. They have to add some chemicals in order to stabilize and preserve the product for a certain shelf life.

The good news is… the solution to your problem may lie right in your own kitchen cabinets.

Homemade natural skin care products don’t contain any additional chemical ingredients that could potentially irritate or harm your skin. The only prospective problem may lie in people who are allergic to certain food ingredients. This is easily overcome by substituting the offending food or ingredient with another similar ingredient. For example, if you are allergic to strawberries you could substitute a cucumber instead.

Not only do homemade skin care products cost a lot less to make, you can easily experiment with what works best for you without breaking the bank. Let’s face it, some of the products on the market cost a small fortune! I know it frustrates me to buy a product for and find out it either doesn’t work or I can’t use it because it makes me break out. It’s much easier to head off to the kitchen, mix up a small sample batch of something and give it a try.

]]>

You will find that some recipes have to be mix up just prior to use as they don’t store well, but the majority of recipes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week allowing you to mix up a small batch to save yourself some time. The following recipes are great for people with combination/oily skin that tend to break out with acne and blackheads. Why not give these a try and see how they work for you?

Facial Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin

2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp glycerin
1/2 cup distilled water

Mix the ingredients together until smooth. Pour into a jar and place the jar inside a double-boiler pot (do not use direct heat on the jar). Bring the water in the outer pot to a boil and heat the mixture until it is clear and has thickened. (If it thickens too much, add a bit more water). Remove from heat and let cool. This is a good all-over facial cleanser and should keep for 7 to 10 days.

Green Tea Skin Toner

1 teabag of green tea
1/2 cup boiling water

Let the tea bag steep for 2 to 3 minutes in the hot water. Remove the tea bag and let the water cool. Pour into an empty toner bottle or something similar with a small opening. Use with cotton pads like you would regular toner. If you wish to, you could also add a 3 or 4 drops of tea tree essential oil. Tea tree oil is a great antiseptic for pimples, while the oil helps to moisturize the skin.

Facial Scrub (Good for blackheads)

1 part baking soda
1 part water

Mix together into a paste. Gently scrub blackheads for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse off. Use once or twice a week.

Natural Scrub For Oily Skin

1 part sea salt
1 part lemon juice

Mix into a paste and gently scrub face for 1 to 2 minutes. Rinse off. Interestingly, you would think this would be very drying to your skin, but I’ve found it actually leaves your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and soft. Use once a week to remove dead skin cells.

Deep Cleansing Mask

1/2 of a peeled, pureed cucumber
1 tbsp plain, natural yogurt

Mix ingredients together and apply to the face (avoid eye area). Let dry for 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Use once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and refresh your skin.

As you can see, making up your own natural homemade skin care recipes can be quite simple and convenient with the right ingredients in the house. After all, if you have to run out to buy some cleanser, toner, moisturizer, etc., why not just stock up on what you need to make your own facial skin care products instead? At least you’ll know exactly what’s contained in each product. Just remember to throw away the old stuff after 7 days and make a fresh batch for the following week. Your skin will thank you for it.

Theres a chance it might go streaky and look fake with it being the wrong one but if you just apply a tiny bit you should be fine, dont lather yourself in it! I also bought the same product in the wrong shade and applied it once and it was fine, applied it again the next day and i looked like a ompa lompa.

How to Take Care of Your Skin

Do you know what your skin type is? Do you know how to take care of your skin so it looks youthful and radiant?

Know Your Skin Type

Knowing what type of skin you have is very important because everyone has a different skin type and will need to care for their skin in a different way. That is why one type of acne medication or treatment may not work well for you and another will do wonders.

For example, if you have fair skin, get sunburn easily of have a history of skin cancer you need to be especially careful when out in the sun and make sure you are well protected by using the proper sunscreen and wearing caps, hats and staying covered up. Individuals with a dark complexion or are of Asian heritage, may also have very sensitive skin and may not be able to use many of the different topical acne medications on the market today.

Daily Face Cleaning

Now that you have an idea of the type of skin you have, it is time to setup a good skin care program. Many people wash their face two, three or more times per day and a great majority of these people do it wrong.

When I was a child I was taught to vigorously wash my face and scrub my hands with lots of soap and water until they were immaculate. Then when I became a teenager, I was told to use soap, soap and more soap to get my face clean and clean up my oily skin to help prevent acne. In my early adult years I followed basically the same program that I did as a teenager but had different results because my skin had changed.

Now in addition to the wide range of soaps available for the skin, there are many different types of skin cleansers as well. Some of them only clean, others exfoliate the skin (remove dead skin) as well as clean and still others contain various concentrations of medications like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. If you wash to often and use these types of soaps in addition to any topical acne medications, you can unnecessarily irritate and dry out your skin.

]]>

It should be noted that washing more than twice a day, regardless of the type of facial cleanser used, will have very little beneficial impact on your acne. If your skin is already inflamed and red from acne, then washing too often will only make your face redder and more irritable.

I have tried many different types of soap from the medicated ones to the fancy wonderful smelling moisturizing and exfoliating soaps. However, after a lot of trial and effort on my part I have found that the simple basic types of soaps can work wonders. I have listed some soaps that I fully recommend for the different types of skin. They are not as expensive or have the fancy fragrances of many types of soaps on the market, but they do work and when used regularly will provide good results.

Oily Skin: If your skin is a bit oily, then Ivory soap is a very good as well as economical soap for your skin.

Dry Skin: If you notice that your skin is often dry, then try Dove moisturizing soaps.

If you have very sensitive skin or have an allergic reaction to most soaps, you may want to try some of the non-soap cleansers like Cetaphil, Aquanil, or Neutrogena’s Extra Gentle Cleanser. Once you have the soap that fits your skin type, it is good to develop a regular face washing program. The following steps are ones I use on a consistent basis and I feel really help my skin.

1. First get your soap wet with warm water and lather up a soft washcloth.

2. Using the washcloth to apply the soap to your skin by gently rubbing it in circles all around your face. Lather up the washcloth as needed and make sure you go over your entire face.

TIP: Apply a light pressure and gently massage your face as you wash. Its a great way to help release tension and stress!

3. One thing I do is I count to three in each location before moving the washcloth an inch and counting again. This allows me to make sure I give each area of my face the care it deserves.

4. Once you have covered your entire face, splash some warm water on your face to remove the soap. Keep doing this until all the soap is gone.

5. Use a soft cotton towel gently pat your face (don’t rush and rub it) until your skin is dry.

More Skin Care Tips:

The first thing you can do to help is to have a few hand towels set aside that you use just for washing and drying your face. (Don’t use the same hand towel that everyone else in the household uses after they wash their hands before leaving the bathroom.)

Second, when you wash these hand towels, avoid using a large amount of detergent or heavy amounts of fabric softener. You want them clean and soft, but not laden with detergents or fragrances.

Third, this may sound a little off the wall to some people but I feel it helps. When you are washing your face, visualize having clear beautiful radiant skin. This helped me to stick to my program and look forward to my face cleaning as a welcome daily diversion rather than a chore.

Remember taking care of your skin is important, its all you get and its with you for life. Take a few minutes for yourself and your skin twice a day – once in the morning, and once in the evening – to properly wash and care for your face. After a while, you will notice that your skin feels better and is more radiant and then you will start to feel better as well.

Question by Anonymus: Hypoallergenic moisturizer has made my face red. What’s wrong?
I’ve been taking Accutane for almost 4 months now. It’s recently made my skin very dry, so I bought a skin product called: “APAISAC: Emollient and Restructuring Emulsion,” which is an oil-free moisturizer “for skin weakened and dried by dermatological treatments.”

As written on the box, it is a “hypoallergenic” product, but it has made my face red and a little bit itchy.

I wonder if this redness is normal (like a part of the moisturizing process) or if it means that the product is damaging my skin and I should stop using it? And if I should stop using it, then what should I do with my dry skin?
This is the product I’m using: http://www.bailleul-biorga.com/UK/#/dermo-cosmetics/acne/gamme-apaisac/apaisac-emulsion-emolliente

Best answer:

Answer by Mr Blunt
Unfortunately, we can’t believe everything we read on labels or in adverts.

Clearly, the product irritates your skin and you should stop using it.

For very many years, Vaseline has been known to be a very good non-irritating moisturiser. Try that. Also, cocoa butter is probably good for snesitive skin.
