Are The Best Anti Aging Products Really The Best?

If you're beginning to notice the irritating signs of skin ageing such as wrinkles and skin sagging then you might have spent a lot of your time searching for the very best anti aging products on the market.
If you're beginning to notice the irritating signs of skin ageing such as wrinkles and skin sagging then you might have spent a lot of your time searching for the very best anti aging products on the market.
Those glossy advertisements or seductive television advertising seem so convincing. Those anti aging creams or anti aging moisturizers just have to be good.
But if that describes you and you're searching for the best anti aging products you need to ask yourself a preliminary question before deciding if the products work well. You need to ask yourself whether those anti aging skin care products are safe to use.
There's a range of chemical ingredients used in so many of the big name skin care and anti aging products that you see commonly on the shelves of your local stores. Today I want to talk about one of those chemical ingredients called Propylene Glycol.
You may have some Propylene Glycol in your car right now because it's the principal component of antifreeze that goes in car radiators. The EPA suggests that people working with Propylene Glycol wear protective clothing including gloves and goggles to avoid it coming into contact with their skin.
If you search at the Cosmetic Safety Database you will find that Propylene Glycol is listed as an ingredient in 1118 facial treatments, 945 anti aging moisturizers and 690 other anti aging products as well as a wide range of other personal products.
And you will also see that it is linked to cancer, allergies and immunotoxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity and skin irritation as well as other worrying health conditions.
Whether the glossy advertising tells you they're the best anti aging products in the world you should be avoiding it if it has Propylene Glycol as an ingredient, and that applies also to a wide range of other chemical ingredients found in so many skin care products.
They are found in our products because the FDA is not required to satisfy itself about the safety of any ingredients used in these products, and so the manufacturers put them there because these ingredients are very cheap, and they can get away with it.
So if you're beginning to see the start of wrinkles and skin sagging should you just avoid all anti aging products and leave those wrinkles to get worse? No that's not necessary.
Despite the fact that so many products are contaminated with chemical ingredients there are small niche skin care and anti aging companies that are dedicated to producing extremely high quality anti aging products that contain only ingredients known to be safe (as well as very effective at promoting better skin health).
One company especially makes the highest quality and what I consider to be the best anti aging products on the market. All natural ingredients are used in the products and these ingredients are known to be safe and very effective at skin care. But these all natural ingredients are extremely expensive.
The obvious conclusion is that their skin care products are very expensive however this isn't in fact the case. These companies choose to avoid television and magazine advertising and so can avoid factoring the cost of advertising into the price of their products, rendering them very price competitive.
So there is good news. You really can find high quality (and safe) anti aging products that work extremely well but the chances are very high that the company that makes them is one that you've never heard of. If you do then you might be surprised at how well these products work.
