A night face cream can rejuvenate, nourish and restore as long as it
contains the right ingredients. One of the most popular creams
contains ingredients that are all wrong.I won't mention any company
names here, because it's not fair to single out any particular
company. Nearly all of the major cosmetic companies use similar
ingredients. Besides, if I mentioned a particular brand name, you
might think that other brands are okay.What I want my readers to do is
to become accustomed to reading the label of ingredients and learning
about the compounds you see listed there. It is impossible for me to
evaluate each and every product on the market. So, I want to teach my
readers how to do the evaluations themselves.Here are some ingredients
to avoid:� DMDM Hydantoin-an allergen an irritant, may combine with
other ingredients to create formaldehyde, a known carcinogen�
EDTA-toxic to the central nervous system, the kidneys and liver, known
to be a skin and eye irritant� Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate-an emerging
artificial preservative said to be safer and less irritating than
parabens. The fumes from the ingredient are toxic when inhaled.Night
face creams should not contain added fragrances, because they are the
most common causes of allergic reactions. Fragrance ingredients
interact with the central nervous system. They can cause mood swings
and/or depression.Here are some ingredients to look for:� Active
manuka honey-a mono-floral honey with the highest level of
antibacterial and antioxidant activity, will help to heal blemishes
and prevent new ones from forming� Shea butter-a natural moisturizer
derived from the nuts of the Shea tree, helps to reduce scars and fade
brown spots� Avocado oil-one of the most nourishing plant oils, it has
been shown to stimulate collagen production, which will improve the
skin's firmness and smoothnessSome night face creams contain all three
of those, as well as other nourishing compounds. Antioxidants like
coenzyme Q10 can penetrate deeply to prevent and reverse free radical
damage, as long as the molecules are reduced in size.Active proteins
like Functional Keratin can stimulate the growth of new skin cells.
Studies have shown that creams containing the active protein can
improve the skin's firmness by as much as 40% after only 18 days of
use.Will you see a visible difference after the very first night? If
your facial skin is currently dry, the answer is "yes". People with
big problems see the best results.If your skin is already perfect, a
good night face cream might not make a visible difference. But, if it
contains the right ingredients, you can be confident that it will help
you keep your beauty as the years go by.
