How to Choose the Best Face Moisturizer

Have you ever wondered what’s in your face moisturizer? Why does it work? What is it doing to your skin? Is it actually effective?

I started asking myself these questions and after a lot of research I found out what the best face moisturizers do, and why they are so good.

Keeping your skin hydrated is the number one priority for any skin care. Well hydrated skin creates a protective barrier between you and harsh elements. Healthy skin will also properly eliminate toxins.

When you are looking for a quality face moisturizer, you want it to not only hydrate your skin, but it will also feed your skin nutrients to keep it looking smooth and give you a creamy complexion.

Choosing a quality face moisturizer means choosing quality ingredients in your skin care products. You want to make sure the ingredients are natural, and mostly plant based. Here is a list of ingredients that are on the cutting edge of science as well as being natural.

Cynergy TK – This compound is derived from New Zealand sheep wool and contains functional keratin. It has been clinically proven to stimulate collagen growth and will penetrate to the deepest levels of your skin.

Phytessence Wakame – Japanese women have been using this type of sea kelp for hundreds of years to help maintain their creamy complexions. It also one of the best hydrators on the market due to the fact that it stimulates the hyaluronic acid in your skin.

Both of these substances are high in antioxidants as well as feeding your skin important vitamins and minerals. A face moisturizer that includes either of these ingredients will both hydrate and feed your skin.

Some skin care products use substances that are detrimental to the health of your skin. Any face moisturizer that uses mineral oil should not be purchased. Mineral oil feels great going on your skin and may even look like it is moisturizing your face.

However, mineral oil is petroleum based and tends to clog pores over time. It also creates a barrier on your skin that does not allow your skin to breathe and interrupts the skin’s natural ability to remove toxins. Do yourself a favor and stay away from any products that use this substance.

Parabens are also detrimental to your health. They are an artificial preservative used in many face moisturizer and they have been found in breast cancer tumors. There are lots of healthy alternatives out there so there is no reason to use any products with parabens.

So now you can go out and look for an effective face moisturizer. Make sure you find one with natural ingredients that feed your skin and give you a healthy, young glow.
