Choosing the right skin care products:
There are so many skin products that promise to care for,
repair, create, and rejuvenate! but do they really work.
Believe it or not some do.
Did you know that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston swear by a
skin cream that has kinetin in it (an herb known to tighten and
firm skin).
Now this is exactly a Harvard study but wait. here are some
studies.
University of Texas has studied emu oil and found that it so
mimicked the skin that the skin absorbs it very well into the
deep layers. Emu oil is loaded with omega 3's and it is a super
moisturizer! But that is just one ingredient.
Most experts agree that Free radicals are the #1 cause of
aging and lack of moisture is #2. The emu oil works for lack of
moisture but what about the Free Radical damage that has come
from pollution and years of being out in the sun (not necessarily
sunbathing but walking to work and watching the kids on the play
ground) So how do you help prevent and repair free radical
damage?
Well you have to use an atioxidant to stop the effects of free
radicals and the strongest anti oxidant known to man is green
tea! We are not saying that it will prevent skin cancer but the
experts are. Several studies have shown that green tea topically
applied and taken internally can help minimize the risk of skin
caner! That is huge!
For damage that has been previously we also recommned aloe
vera butter as it is known as the healer of the skin!
Summary for your skin:
kinetin
green tea
aloe vera butter
emu oil or hemp oil
These ingredients make
sense! Stay away from propylene glycol, mineral oil and
petrolatum since they clog pores (just what your are trying to
avoid!
