It’s the year, so that means it’s time for you a new you. The start of the new year is the perfect time to reflect on self improvement, and that includes your skin care routine.
The first few weeks of the new year have been bitterly cold, with record low temperatures in the single digits plaguing most of the nation. It’s no secret that winter’s hard, cold, and dry air wreaks havoc on your skin, not to mention ever-present UV rays from the sun. As such, now is the best time to get your skin glow-ready for summer’s warm weather.
There are several cosmetic solutions for skin care available both over the counter and through prescription. Many men and women wonder what the difference is between drug store and professional skin care products, such as those made by private label skin care manufacturers. While you may be tempted the low prices of drug store and knock off brands, the health and condition of your skin should take precedence over cost.
Low quality skin care products are chock full of synthetic and harmful ingredients — some of which are known carcinogens — such mineral oil, petrolatum, tricoslan, sulfates, parabens, acids, and other chemicals. In fact, these ingredients can make the condition of skin far worse by causing dryness, irritation, redness, or you lead to clogged pores. As such, it’s best to err on the side of caution and use high end private label cosmetics.
On the other hand, professional cosmetic solutions for skin care use only the highest quality, natural ingredients such as shea butter and essential oils — both of which have been used for thousands of years — that have been clinically proven to reduce and forestall signs of aging while providing protection from the elements.
In addition to using topical cosmetic solutions for skin care, it’s equally if not more important, to nourish your skin from within. This includes drinking more than the recommended 64 ounces of water per day, eating a diet free of genetically modified and processed food, steering clear of nicotine, and reducing stress. By implementing all of these things, you’ll soon be on your way to the best skin ever. See this link for more.
