Time to fess up. When it comes to skin care, how many manufacturers include the fact that rubbing their product into your skin is the same as eating it? It’s true. The active ingredients in most skin care products ultimately find their way into your blood stream, just the same as food does.

Everyone wants to look younger as long as possible but the dirty little secret is that most skin care products are chock full of chemicals that you probably wouldn’t put on your skin let alone absorb it into your blood system.

Here’s one example: A leading manufacturer of anti-aging skin cream proudly includes triclosan. The fun little fact about this ingredient is that it not only kills harmful organisms but also the beneficial bacteria on your skin. Technically, it is classified as a pesticide. Say what? I suppose if you happen to have large bugs crawling freely on your skin, this might be the way to go. Otherwise, you might want to look for a producer that takes the time and effort to make a product with safer alternative ingredients. Yes, they are out there.

And if you think digging deeper into your wallet to pay even more money will protect you from these potentially dangerous products in your favorite skin cream, you would be wrong. Some of the biggest name and highest dollar companies are the worst offenders.

Some people have allergies to different sorts of chemicals (naturally occurring ones as well as synthetic ones). However, that is not the product’s fault, these people, unfortunately, have a hypersensitivity to certain substances and their immune system needs to be treated. If this applies to you, DON’T use synthetic substitutes - the natural substances are just as powerful as synthetic chemicals. Natural skin care products that are properly formulated to target a specific skin care needs, are safer, more effective and usually cheaper than their synthetic counter parts.

As we grow older, anti aging skin care becomes ever more important to most of us. But you shouldn’t have to poison yourself while searching for the proverbial fountain of youth. Nowadays, it seems your choice comes down to the flash over substance strategy of celebrity endorsements, huge advertising campaigns, and a slipshod approach to safety in products, or locate one of the few manufacturers who forego the glitz and spend their time and money on producing safe and highly effective skin care products.

Which do you choose?
