There are many great skin care tips available, but one of the best is to use products with natural ingredients. Below are some more specific skin care tips to help you look as young as possible for as long as possible. These tips will also assist you in addressing any skin problems you may be experiencing by helping you choose the right treatment.
### How to Treat Acne
Most skin care tips for treating acne suggest using products that destroy bacteria in your skin. These usually contain triclosan and benzoyl peroxide, which can dry out your skin. In reality, these ingredients can inflame your skin and worsen your acne. It's better to use a natural treatment with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Such treatments often include ingredients like Shea butter, jojoba oil, manuka honey, and Functional Keratin, which contains proteins that act as an anti-inflammatory. Treating the inflammation is key to dealing with acne effectively.
### How to Treat Eczema
The majority of skin care tips for treating eczema recommend using a product containing coal tar. However, coal tar is considered a potential carcinogen. Instead, consider using products with Shea butter, avocado extract, and jojoba oil to treat your eczema.
### How to Treat Dry Skin
You'll find many skin care tips suggesting the use of mineral oil or petrolatum to treat dry skin, but these ingredients do not truly moisturize your skin. Glycerin does a better job of moisturizing your skin and is included in many skin creams, but the best ingredient you can use is CYNERGY TK. Using a product with this ingredient can lead to a 20% increase in your skin's moisture levels—five times better than the results achieved with glycerin.
### How to Treat Oily Skin
Many skin care tips will tell you that alcohol is the best ingredient for treating oily skin. Alcohol does remove natural oils from the skin, but your skin often responds to this by producing more sebum, a natural oil your skin produces. Your skin needs a layer of sebum to protect it from damage. According to many skin care tips, if you have oily skin, you should avoid products containing petrolatum and mineral oil, as these ingredients can make your skin feel greasy. Instead, look for maracuja in the products you buy. Maracuja is a fruit extract that helps regulate sebum production.
### How to Find the Right Anti-Aging Product
You can win the battle against aging, and your skin can recover from the damage it has already suffered. However, most of the anti-aging products you buy won't help you achieve this. In fact, some of them can actually be harmful to your health. A good anti-aging product works to stop aging at the cellular level by increasing the production of new skin cells and fibers, raising hyaluronic acid levels in your body, and stopping free radicals from damaging your cells. Most anti-aging skin care tips will tell you to always wear sunscreen to prevent UV rays from damaging your skin. Actually, more skin damage comes from free radicals. Sun exposure increases the production of free radicals in your body and makes them more active. When this happens, your coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels drop drastically. Using CoQ10, an antioxidant, can help prevent this from happening.
