It's unbelievable how people think the best anti-aging skin creams are the ones being advertised heavily by the big cosmetic product companies.
Most of these products are endorsed by some celebrity in snazzy looking advertisements.
But do you really believe that celebrity is indeed using that product? They are endorsing the product because they are getting paid for it.
The fact is these companies spend millions of dollars in paying the supermodels and airing their ads on the television channels.
These are dollars that should have been instead spent on research and development to improve their products.
The end result is they have to cut corners in product research and development and you get an anti-aging skin cream that does not do its job properly.
Now let's discuss what exactly the problem with these products is.
Many of these products are advertised to contain Collagen in them.
Collagen is a protein found in the body and is essential for skin elasticity.
But the problem is, Collagen molecules are too big to be absorbed by the skin by applying it topically.
Just by being including in the cream will not help your skin at all.
Instead, the best anti-aging skin creams will stimulate Collagen production in your body.
These creams will also hydrate the skin and protect it from the harmful effects of free radicals found in polluted air.
The common skin creams also contain additional ingredients like Parabens and fragrance to make last longer and more attractive to the customer.
Parabens are actually preservatives added to the cream so that it has a longer shelf life.
The problem is, parabens have been linked to various health problems in studies, and can have serious side effects when used for long periods of time.
Similarly, fragrances are also chemicals and are not beneficial for the skin in any way.
A good anti-aging skin cream will instead use natural ingredients that do not harm the body in any way.
These products may not be produced by the big name companies, but may be much more effective and healthy in the long run.
Some of the ingredients used in such creams are Phytessence Wakame - a Japanese sea kelp that has tremendous capability to fight skin damage, Xtend-TK - a natural substance extracted from the wool of New Zealand sheep which simulates production of Collagen and Elastin in the body, and natural plant based oils which keep the skin hydrated.
Finding the best anti-aging skin creams is not that hard.
Just look for products which contain natural ingredients, and avoid harmful chemicals.
