Top 10 Skin Care Products - Nature's Gifts For Your Skin

Women search for the fountain of youth at cosmetics counters worldwide. With increased environmental awareness, many prefer using products containing natural ingredients. New products partnering natural ingredients with scientifically developed compounds combine the best of both worlds, and many women say they work great in keeping their skin youthful and fresh.

Below are the top 10 skin care products many women prefer and some of nature's gifts they may contain.

Eye Care

Gentle eye make-up remover is a must for the delicate tissue surrounding the eyes. Look for products containing castor oil as an emollient, and antixodiant support such as pumpkin wine extracts

Eye creams, eye brighteners, and intense serumsmoisturize and protect the skin around the eyes. Plant extracts and fruit oils soften, hydrate, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Because sun exposure causes wrinkles, many eye products contain natural sun protection ingredients such as titanium dioxide.

Sun Protection

Exposure to the sun may be the biggest cause of wrinkles. To protect against its damage, use products containing zinc oxide, one of the most powerful, natural sun blocks available. Unlike chemical sunscreens, zinc oxide does not irritate the skin, and it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Some sunscreens contain valuable antioxidant, which reinforces the prevention of sunburn and free radical damage.

Cleansers

For dry or sensitive skin, look for products containing milk or citric acids. For normal to oily skin, look for products containing pumpkin and beta carotene, both potent antioxidants, or green tea, which refreshes and reduces surface oil. Products containing green tea are also good for problematic skin.

Scrubs

For exfoliating dead skin cells and for an overall glow, scrubs do the trick. Some contain microbeads from jojoba, sea algae or pumice. Scrubs also open the skin's surface so that it more readily accepts moisturizers and other products.

Lotions and Toners

Look for lotions and toners containing natural grape derivatives such as reveratrol and nutrient vitamins. For retaining moisture, look for products containing hyaluronic acid. For balancing oils in the skin, green tea extract and salicylic acid is often used. Spritzing toners may be refrigerated for a cool, soothing spray of moisture.

Corrective and Repairing Products

These products contain ingredients that improve the overall texture of the skin and work deep in the skin to promote skin regeneration. Glycolic acid encourages cell renewal, kojic acid lightens and brightens, and vitamin A encourages collagen synthesis. Many women find these products soften wrinkles, reduce the appearance of pores, and even out skin tone.

Antioxidants and Nourishing Products

Many of these products contain ocean-based ingredients that limit free radical damage, reduce wrinkle formation, and both strengthen and protect the skin. Products containing peptides signal the skin to produce more collagen, resulting in firmer skin. Vitamins C and E are powerful antioxidants, reducing free radical damage and sustaining moisture.

Masks and Enzymes

For sensitive or inflamed skin, try products containing soothing ingredients such as milk derivatives and allantoin. Oilier skins can benefit from masks containing bentonite clay or sulfur. Masks containing green tea stimulate the skin, increasing blood circulation. Some masks include organic proteins to improve the appearance of sagging skin.

Skin Peels

Peels remove the layer of dead skin cells from the surface and result in an improvement of tone and texture. They may be helpful with skin that is sun damaged or suffering from hyperpigmentation, rosacea, photo aging, or acne. Peels range from mild, which slowly removes the upper layer of skin over time, to deep, which causes the skin to peel in larger segments. Sunscreen must be worn after peels to prevent the new skin from burning.

Post-treatment Products

With the popularity of microdermabrasion, waxing, and peels, many find soothing, post-treatment creams helpful. Many contain epidermal growth factor to promote healing, shea butter to soothe, hydrocortisone to prevent itching, and natural ingredients such as butcher broom extract to reduce inflammation. Many prevent water loss in the skin and promote regeneration.

Skin care has come a long way in recent years. By using pure ingredients from nature along with proven scientific formulas, skin care products' benefits have increased. When combined, they nourish and aid in many ways, resulting in younger-looking, fresher skin.
