I’m a relatively new vegan (New Years 2007), and have pretty much done the research regarding both food and clothing.

What I’m not too familiar with are the best vegan friendly options for hair and skin care. In everyone’s opinion, which products are the best to buy? Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Choosing the best brands of skin care products today is like finding the smallest needle in a stack of hay(which are also full of other needles, by the way!) Needless to say, there are a lot of brands of skin care products in the market today which mostly caters to the population of female consumers, to the metro-sexual males or even to straight men who are just physically conscious about their outward appearance.

The very first thing to do is to consult your dermatologist for the best brands skin care products that would suit the type of skin that you have. Whether you have very sensitive skin, very dry skin, normal to dry skin, dry skin, oily to normal skin, very oily skin or you are prone to acne, your skin doctor should be the one to know which of the brands of skin care products would go well with the nature of skin that you have.

 

Yet there are times when your dermatologist would recommend you those expensive brands of skin care products which are already popular and competing in the market. They do this because:

o They are familiar with the brand of skin care product itself, used it for some time and which actually worked for themselves.

o They were sponsored by the products itself through medical representation.

o They were just playing safe by advising you certain expensive products which sometimes doesnt even work or just work after long periods of using it.

 

Be careful about this, you are the one who really knows and decides for whats good for your skin. Remember that you only went to your dermatologist to get his/her advice. Your boss skin.

Just don’t get super incredulous and always skeptical about your dermatologist’s advice because sometimes those brands which hurt your wallets or add to your credit card accounts are even the ones which really work for you. Besides, your dermatologist has already been advising them to others and has been recommending that same brand skin care products to her clients. That is why there are best brands skin care products which have been labeled with dermatologically-tested products or This product has been recommended by most dermatologists.

So if you are already looking for the best brand of skin care products for you then your safest way to treating and nurturing your skin is to go for a dermatologist and take his/her advice, you could buy the brand of skin care product which has been recommended for you and test whether its good and observe if it really works for you.

Another advice for those people who already has been using a certain brand skin care products, don’t be easily tempted by those new brands of skin care products which come out in the market. If your skin is already familiar to what you have been using then you don’t need to immediately change from one brand to another. It might either cause great damage or good to your skin.

I have been very happy with the Philosophy skin care line. I was hoping to find a drug store product like Olay or Dove that does what they claim, to try to save a little! Anyone use one they absolutely love?

These days, anti aging creams seem to be the miracle solution for those concerned with turning back the clock to restore the glory days of their youth. The market is saturated with skin care products that promise to restore youth and vitality to your face by simply lathering on a cream. Some even go as far as touting their products as the miracle cure, the proverbial fountain of youth. But what do you really know about the best anti aging creams out there?

If you’re already using anti aging creams you would probably know how they work. But for the uninitiated, anti aging creams help reduce the signs of aging, but they do not remove wrinkles permanently. Anti aging creams work by removing the outer layer of dead skin and/or hydrate and plump up the skin, giving the appearance of smoother, firmer, more radiant skin with reduced wrinkles. However, after you’ve seen the results (usually within 30 days), should you choose to stop using the products, you’ll find that your wrinkles would have returned, so you would have no choice but to keep using the product continuously in your quest for youthful looking skin, while at the same time fattening the pockets of the product manufacturers, especially if you had been using an expensive, more popular brand of skin care. Even though you might think that you’re getting your money’s worth because the brand is so well established and thus is able to command a premium pricing on its products, did you know that the effectiveness of most of these branded products have not been scientifically studied and proven?

So how can you tell which products work and which don’t?

You need to look out for anti aging creams that have the following ingredients:

1. Alpha-hydroxy acids or AHAs. These “fruit acids” help accelerate the exfoliation of old dead cells from the surface of your skin, therefore improving your skin’s appearance by leaving it looking fresher, younger, and more radiant. AHAs are especially useful for the reduction of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.

2. Retinoids. These are chemicals that plumps up the skin and makes it more compact by making the skin produce new cells quicker. Given a month or two, with continuous application, fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced and the skin becomes smoother and firmer. However, discontinuation of use causes the skin to revert back to its aged condition, and the time frame of effectiveness has been shown to be no more than six months in most products.

3. Vitamin A. Like other parts of our body, our skin requires vitamins to maintain and defend itself against the adverse effects of aging. When used in tandem with retinoids, vitamin A can further plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by puffing up the skin, due to its slight inflammatory action.

4. Vitamin C. This vitamin helps brighten the skin by boosting blood circulation and collagen production, which makes the skin look radiant by giving it a healthier more youthful glow.

These are just some of the things you should know about the best anti aging creams out there in the market. Look out for the ingredients of such skin care products rather than the price tag; most of the time price of a product is not a determinant of the product’s effectiveness in restoring your youthful skin.

The cold dry winter air has really taken a toll on my skin this year. My complexion has always been sensitive, but the usual products don’t seem to be working anymore.

For those who have a tried and true skin care routine, what do you use and are you pleased with the results?

Moisturizing is a HUGE deal now…..so please include information about that as well as the facial cleanser you use (etc).

Thank you!

Michael J. Phillips asked:


If you are like me you, you probably have had many skin care tips over the years. Unfortunately, most of them are similar, like protect your skin, eat properly, drink plenty of water, stay healthy etc!

The above general tips are valid and will help if you’re willing to do them. However, the following 3 skin care tips are more specific in how they can help you achieve a healthier more youthful looking skin.

Tip 1. Moisturize your skin… Probably the biggest skin issue people complain about today is dry skin.

Most women will moisturize daily or at least a few times a week. Most men on the other hand, probably don’t use a moisturizer at all and suffer with their dry skin unnecessarily.

Use good quality natural emollients, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals daily to moisturize, hydrate and nourish your skin. Ingredients like… avocado oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, macadamia oil, crodamol CP and D-Panthenol are good ones to look out for.

Tip 2. Re-build collagen and elastin skin cell proteins.

Fine lines and wrinkles start appearing on most people around 40 years old. This depends of course on whether you looked after your skin when you were younger.

The main reasons your skin deteriorates and gets wrinkled, are natural aging, exposure to daily environmental pollutants, harsh chemicals and sun damage. This results in a gradual degradation of your collagen and elastin skin cell proteins.

Collagen, elastin and keratin are responsible for your skins underlying structure, strength, thickness, spring and elasticity. To regain these skin attributes you need natural ingredients that are capable of producing new skin cells.

Two substances that can stimulate new collagen and elastin cell re-growth are Cynergy TK”(TM)” with functional keraton”(TM)” and Coenzyme Q10 in a special nano-emulsion form.

Another substance Phytessence Wakame an extract from Japanese sea kelp helps collagen and elastin fibers retain their glue.

Tip 3. Commit to a daily skin care regime.

It’s absolutely pointless taking any notice of skin care tips if your not willing to make a commitment to doing them daily.

You can go out and buy the best most fantastic skin care creams ever made and not get any positive results if your don’t use them daily and as instructed by the manufacturer.

The line of skin care products and supplements I am getting results with, and chose to use daily come from a small manufacturer in New Zealand. They have a complete range of all natural women’s and men’s products including active day and restorative night creams, body lotions, eye contour gel, deep cleansing and hydrating masks.

Finally, if you really want to get positive results from your next skin cream purchase. Chose the best range of active natural skin care substances you can get. Start and continue with a proper daily skin care regime.

At my website, you can find more skin care tips and information on ingredients that can contribute to you getting a healthier more youthful looking skin, that I chose to use daily.
