I get dizzy with the selection of anti aging skin cream, botox alternatives, as well as body lotion and creams available on the market. What are these products, and which ones are right for you? How do you know which products to buy?

I have spent a lot of time trying different products, looking for the "magical" products that work. Finally, I decided to keep it simple, learn about the ingredients that treat the needs of my skin, and use the process of elimination by avoiding the products I don’t need.

I’ll give you information on proper skin care and the specifics regarding extensive research I have done during my search for the right anti aging skin care treatment.

Keep in mind that the key to any anti aging skin care treatment is to keep it simple.

- Eat a healthy, high-fiber / low-fat diet
- Drink plenty of water
- Exercise at least 20 minutes a day, three to five days a week
- Know what ingredients are in your skin care products, and how they affect your skin

Most importantly, know what ingredients should not be in your skin care products.

Toxin ingredients to avoid are:

Triclosan:

Triclosan is widely used in skin care products and week killers. Yes, weed killers. Can you believe it? I am amazed to learn that it is an anti-bacterial agent, and there is evidence that it may contribute to creating strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, due to its wide use in skincare products.

Dioxane:

Dioxane is commonly used in skin care products, and usually contains high concentrations of 1,4-dioxane. 1-4 dioxane is easily absorbed through the skin. In the state of California, 1,4-dioxane is considered a chemical known to cause cancer.

Mineral Oil:

Mineral oil is used by skin care manufacturers because it is cheap. Mineral oil clogs the pores and stops your skin’s ability to eliminate toxins, inviting acne and other disorders. Products made with mineral oil can be contaminated with cancer causing PAH’s, (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons).

I now have a better understanding of why so many more people are getting various cancers than we were 10 or 20 years ago.

On a positive note, lets look at ingredients that should definitely be in the products your use within your anti aging skin care treatment.

Ingredients to look for:

Coenzyme Q10

Also known as Nano-Lipoelle H-EQ10, which is a vitamin-like substance that is in each cell of our bodies, and is vital for healthy skin. Coenzyme Q10 diminishes as we get older as well as when we are stressed.

Nano-Lipoelle H-EQ10, penetrates deeply into the skin. It has also been confirmed by scientific studies to increase collagen and elastin production in the skin which reduces wrinkles.

We spend a lot of energy examining the products that we consume into our bodies, and most of us don't think about what we put on the outside of our bodies. When we use skin care products on our skin, the ingredients are absorbed into our bodies.

Remember, too that when you purchase an anti aging skin care treatment, you are also paying for the packaging. Big manufacturers use elaborate packaging which can significantly increase the expense associated with different products.

Also, when you buy a product, you are paying for the advertising and marketing as well as TV commercials, magazine ads, or celebrities to promote them. Big manufacturers spend huge dollars in advertising which means they usually use ingredients with poor quality in their products to offset the cost.
