Smart Skincare - Using Ingredients That Are Safe And Effective And Do Not Cost An Arm And A Leg
We hear of stories of people who do use smart skincare and end up with problems they never dreamed they would have.
They even end up looking worse than before and I am sure we have all heard of tragic stories.
Here is a story, fortunately not very tragic, but still very upsetting.
A friend of mine wanted to whiten her skin as she felt she looked too dark and she just wanted to lighten up.
Well, she started using a product with hydroquinone which is a very famous, or infamous, whitening agent.
The problem was that she was using it in a 10% concentration which is far too high.
Ideally it should be about a tenth of that strength.
It is already banned in the UK.
The results are that she stopped using it and now has skin is three times darker than before and she is desperate.
This condition of skin darkening like that is known as exogenous ochronosis and it can result in a blue black darkening of the skin.
Sometimes, it even gives patchy results so that light patches and dark patches stand out even more due to the awful contrast.
What a pity my friend had not heard of a smart skincare treatment which uses ingredients like extrapone nutgrass which actually works and the skin gets progressively lighter, blemish free and has a great healthy sheen to it.
Hydroquinone is no longer favored as a whitening agent as the above story illustrates perfectly well.
Another example of people not using smart skincare is where they totally avoid the sun.
This is a controversial topic.
However it must be borne in mind that moderate exposure to the sun will provide us with Vitamin D which is vital in protecting us from lots of diseases like Parkinsons, for example.
Getting enough Vitamin D can actually reduce our chances of getting this disease by up to 65%.
Using normal protective measures to protect us and having a moderate amount of sun exposure is probably the best way to go.
The sun is a damaging agent no doubt and can lead to premature skin aging.
But sunscreens have had a bad press in that they can have side effects too But when you consider smart skincare where you can use a built in natural sun filter, then you are really going to get results.
One of these ingredients is actually derived from a Japanese seaweed and is called phytessence wakame.
It is a powerful antioxidant, full of vitamins and minerals and also can protect our levels of hyaluronic acid and also protects our skin from UV rays into the bargain! Now that is what I call smart skincare! Natural organic ingredients are used and work in synergy, resolving lots of problems.
In addition there are no nasty chemicals used which might damage our health.
Why not be smart and get results you never thought possible?
