Hi ladies and
gentlemen also, hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend so far.
I know that
great and beautiful looking skin is something we all strive to achieve and
maintain. I’m sure you all agree. So here is a secret for you, if you’re looking
to buy skin care products there are some active ingredients to look out for in
the product you’re buying. These ingredients have been proven to have wonderful
and healthy effects and are the secret to a great and beautiful skin. So don’t
be left in the dark and take a look at them below.
PEPTIDES
What they
do: These proteins signal skin cells to produce more collagen, making
them ideal for firming skin and smoothing wrinkles.
VITAMIN C
What it
does: Any good antioxidant protects skin from free radicals, but this one
also brightens. It builds collagen and increases cell turnover to keep skin
from looking dull. The most stable and effective forms are in water-free serums
and gels. But if you're using a lotion or cream that also contains water, store
it in the refrigerator to help preserve the vitamin C.
RETINOL
What it
does: Call it the aspirin of skin care. Retinol
fixes almost everything, including wrinkles, oiliness, sagging skin, and age
spots. The derivative of vitamin A boosts collagen, reduces pigmentation, and
fights off wrinkles.
GLYCOLIC ACID
What it
does: This exfoliator safely treats lines and discoloration on all skin
types. It comes in lotions and face washes, but individually wrapped peel pads
are most effective because the pH of glycolic acid can
change when it's exposed to air.

ReplyDeleteExcellent article. I am a firm believer in everyone using skin care products with the best and natural ingredients. You’ll be amazed how many products or even those that call themselves natural or organic have harmful ingredients and chemicals in them. Nice article again, will be sure to check for these ingredients next time I’m shopping for body creams.
