Was I really caring for
my skin? NO……………
Not at all!
Don’t you want your
skin to look the way it
did the day you were born,
you know, before you chose
to apply all of those skin
care products to your face?
Don’t you think the
skin care products you are
using, may be contributing
to the aging process? Diet,
stress, environment and
everyday life, all have
an effect on the way we
look. But one of the contributors
to aging you can control
and I want you to consider…..
are skin care products.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA)
is a skin irritant, skin
care products containing
AHA exfoliate not only dead
skin cells, but the skin’s
protective barrier as well.
What you may have been doing
is trying to exfoliate the
dead skin cells that probably
were not dead in the first
place. What you need to
do is allow your skin to
make more cells. You may
not be allowing this to
happen because the products
you may be using contain
harsh chemicals.
You may be uneducated and
find yourself using them
and they are not allowing
the skin to produce new
cells. Some people need
exfoliation often, but there
are people who only need
it once in awhile. If you
keep exfoliating, the new
cells don’t have enough
time to be born and that
is why you may be cleansing
and scrubbing too much and
you may be creating more
symptoms.
I see many people who are
not educated and they are
purchasing these products
on the market with very
little knowledge or instruction
and they may be creating
long-term skin damage. What
you want to do is slow down
the aging process, you may
have been speeding it up.
You should create the healthy
balance your skin deserves.
To achieve this, you want
the skin to make new cells
and by doing this you need
to apply the best topicals
you can.
If you have been uneducated
and you have been using
products that contain harsh
chemical ingredients for
a long time, this will begin
to show over time. It may
be from the wear and tear
of using them on your skin.
If you are washing your
face two times a day or
even one time a day with
these products, you may
not only be contributing
to, but actually speeding
up the aging process. In
my opinion, symptoms of
dull skin are developed
by harsh chemicals in products
and long term use of the
wrong products. Use safe
skin care products that
are nourishing to your skin,
not damaging to the skin.
Your skin may also become
red and blotchy and your
blood vessels may become
more prominent on the surface
of your skin. If you are
using harsh skin products
or products that have harmful
ingredients in them, they
will strip your skin. Think
about it, depending on how
old you are, your elasticity
of your skin has been breaking
down and may have been causing
your skin to thin and making
your blood vessels to be
more prominent around the
crease of your nose, cheeks
and forehead. The products
may have been messing with
your skin for so long it
can’t even produce
the adequate number of cells.
For instance, if you were
diagnosed with oily skin,
and you were prescribed
a skin care product that
stripped the natural oils
and protective barrier from
your skin, when you didn’t
really have oily skin in
the first place. The harsh
chemical ingredients damaged
and thinned your skin and
the blood vessels became
more prominent.
You may also want to change
your make-up or wear less
of it. Choose make-up products
and skin care products that
are safe and free of synthetic
ingredients. Become educated.
