It’s like clockwork. Every few days a new skin product is launched into the market with a big marketing blitzkrieg, promising to be the be all and end all in skin care. Very few of these actually turn out to be good for your skin, though.

How does one avoid all this hype and choose a really good skin product?

There are three things a cream or lotion should be able to do, to be worthy of your choice. Here they are -

Nourish your skin with essential nutrients
Just removing the signs of damage and aging from your skin is not enough. You need to look for a product that can nourish it from inside out. Remember – to have a beautiful skin, you need to keep it healthy first.

Look for ingredients like Phytessence Wakame and Avocado Oil in your cream. These natural ingredients provide your skin with vitamin B complex, vitamins A and E, and minerals like iron, calcium and potassium. They keep your skin well nourished and healthy and set the stage to make it strong and beautiful from inside.

Keep it safe from skin problems
Dryness, age spots, pimples, and lines and wrinkles are some problems we all face with time. A good product should be able to protect your skin from all these signs of a worn out skin.

Again, natural ingredients like Cynergy TK can help you here. This wool extract makes your body produce more Collagen and Elastin inside. An increased quantity of these proteins keeps your skin naturally firm, elastic and wrinkle free. Cynergy TK also moisturizes the skin effectively and keeps it soft and supple.

Extrapone Nutgrass root is another natural extract to look for in your cream. It reduces the Melanin content in your skin and makes it naturally light and spot free. The age spots get removed and do not re-occur too.

Provide safe, long term results
This is the key part many people get wrong. While any common skin product can provide some relief from skin problems, it would also cause side effects like allergies and skin irritation due to the chemical ingredients it contains.

By using natural ingredients like the ones we have talked about, you can stop worrying about side effects. Being natural, they are very gentle on the skin and effective too.

Your next step? To take what you’ve learned and find out a good skin product which can do all this for your skin. All the best for your search.
