But there are also some body lotion and creams out there that give real improvements like smoother skin, more even skin tone, firmer skin and even diminishing scars and stretch marks.
So how do you find a body cream with so many benefits? First of all you learn about which ingredients are good for your skin and which ones you should avoid.
Then you seek out a skin care company that you trust completely.

Many of them do not pose any immediate threat, but if you use them regularly they can harm your skin.
Avoid these: - Parabens, scientific studies suggest they may cause cancer and hormonal imbalance.
- Dioxane, it is high in 1,4-dioxane which is known to cause cancer.
- Mineral oil, it clogs the pores which promotes acne and irritation, and strips the natural oils of the skin which makes it drier.

Far too many companies care more about economical profit than the users of the products.
Good companies are able to develop optimum body creams while making enough profit.
A good company puts a lot of the resources into scientific research and into developing new effective formulas.
They should also put the optimum amounts of each ingredient into the body creams, about 50% active ingredients.
