How to Choose the Skincare that's Best
for your Skin ...

In an eternal pursuit of everlasting loveliness, human beings sure end up putting a lot of junk on their skin ...

You’ve finally decided. You really want healthy skin. However, when you head to the store, all of the skin care companies seem wonderful.

How do you choose? Well, it’s important to read the labels, especially the fine print and the ingredient list. Ask your friends about skin care companies they trust. If you have a question or want more information, call the company and ask. It might take a little work, but it will be worth the effort. Remember that your skin is an organ and it absorbs everything you put on it: the good stuff and the bad stuff! Nourish your skin with products containing antioxidants, botanical extracts and skin vitamins, and avoid potentially harmful ingredients for healthy and beautiful skin.

Read the Label

Read the label, especially the fine print and the ingredient panel
Usually (but not always) a shorter list of ingredients is better than a long list.

Learn about the company. Ask your friends if they know about the company. View their website or call the company and ask questions.

Ask about full-disclosure labelling (are all the ingredients on the ingredient list?) Many companies do not tell you all the ingredients.

Look for the Good Stuff

Choose products rich in skin-specific vitamins, botanicals and antioxidants (be careful though, lots of companies claim to use antioxidants but put such a tiny amount in the product that it cannot possibly benefit the skin).

Just because the name sounds like a chemical does not necessarily mean it is harmful. For example, Panthenol is actually pro-Vitamin B-5. It sounds like a chemical, but it is a very important skin vitamin. (Companies are supposed to use the chemical or botanical name of the ingredient – it’s the international labelling standard.)

Avoid the Bad Stuff

Avoid potentially harmful ingredients such as mineral oil and lanolin (these clog the pores) and parabens (these are used as preservatives, but recent research says they might be harmful).

Petrolatum is another common skin care ingredient that makes skin feel good but tends to congest pores.
