Secret of Moist Skin
Did you know in order for it to effectively hydrate dry skin cream has got to contain purest ingredients possible? The best ingredients you can have in a cosmetic product for moisturizing the skin come from plant sources. Plant based compounds are capable of moisturizing the skin deeply, and of providing you with all of the antioxidants and vital nutrients necessary for maintaining optimal health.
With the use of the right combination of natural compounds, a skin care formula can literally revitalize your skin. The antioxidants that these components provide will repair all of the oxidative damage done to your skin by the activity of free radicals. Some extracts and compound fusions can even help replenish your stores of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
In order to fail to hydrate dry skin cream only needs to contain the ever popular petroleum based compounds known as paraffin wax, petrolatum, and mineral oil. These compounds can be found in hundreds, if not thousands of different skin care formulas. The formulas that feature these petroleum derivatives are very popular among consumers, and some people swear by the effectiveness of these components.
I have to be brutally honest when I say that the reason that these people have so much faith in what the petroleum based moisturizers can do them, is that they have no idea about the problems these compounds are going to cause them down the road. These ingredients have been proven over time to only make matters worse when it comes to your skin.
To hydrate dry skin cream has to at least contain compounds that your skin is capable of absorbing, and petroleum based compounds don’t fit into this category. They are distilled from an incredibly dense petroleum byproduct know for being capable of stopping the gears of heavy machinery. A compound such as this can only be diluted to a certain point.
Although far thinner than the parent compound, petrolatum, paraffin wax, and mineral oil are still too dense to achieve the penetration necessary to effectively moisturize the skin. What happens when you apply these compounds is that they simply form a greasy film on the surface of your skin; clogging your pores, and interfering with your natural exfoliation process.
The worst thing that these compounds do is cause the sebaceous glands to significantly reduce the amount of sebum being produced. With little moisture being provided from within and no contribution from these moisturizing compounds the skin will soon become itchy, dry, and flaky. I repeat, to hydrate dry skin cream must contain plant based compounds.
Plant based oils, waxes, and extracts contain properties that make them strikingly similar to your own natural oil, and this allows them to do what other components can’t. Look for products that feature compounds like active Manuka honey, avocado oil, Babassu wax, grape seed oil, and Maracuja passion fruit extract. Olivem 800, which contains a lipid extract from olive oil is also and excellent moisturizer and emollient.
Bottom line, to effectively hydrate dry skin cream that features all natural compounds is the only way to go.
