Margaret Bell asked:


The best source of anti aging skin care products is  not high end department stores.  Neither is it the corner drug store or over the counter.  Where is the best source?  Keep reading to find out and also why some skin care products range from cheap to expensive.

The question is: Why do so many companies manufacture a skin care product that does a poor job, if it works at all?  Why do so many women keep switching anti aging skin care products?

Big Department Store Hype

We often pay too much for inferior products just because it has a popular name on it.  Often we find skin care sections right at the main entrance of large stores offering free makeovers.  Actually they should be called ‘do overs’.  Because you have to do it over at home.  And the cost sends quivers through your credit card.

Why it the Cost So High?

The cost of running a store, big or small, eats up a lot of profit.  To stay in business a company must make a profit.  Store overhead and advertising often dictates the price of a product.

A few companies turn out fairly good products but must charge a very large price to do it.  The reason is, as mentioned, advertising, employee costs, taxes, etc. etc.  If a company tries to offer a decent price, they may get a lot of sales but often pull the product.  Or raise the price so high that sales drop off dramatically.  The cost of ingredients and the cost of overhead determine the price tag.

Promoting a Product is Expensive

Products must be promoted or advertised so the public will know it exists.  This is expensive.  The price must be acceptable by the consumer or no sales.  What happens is research and development dollars are shifted to the advertising department. As a rule,  there goes the product quality.

Anti Aging Skin Care Product Formula

It is no secret among skin care companies as to what ingredients are needed to make an effective product.  Usually only a small amount of these ingredients ever make their way into most skin care products.  The ones listed on the label have so small amount that they may as well put in whipping cream or some other filler. They do just that, not the whipping cream but other ingredients that just take up volume.  So what should be in the skin care product?

What a Quality Anti Aging Product Should Have

The concentration of ingredients that work should be about 50% of the total product.   This will make the product effective and do what it should.

However, what you will usually find in most anti aging skin care products as the main ingredient is: purified water.  Add parabens (a potentially dangerous perservative), some coloring, nice smelling fragrances and you have an effective glob of gunk.  Read the label of every skin care product that you are thinking of buying.

High End Department Stores-Not the Best Source

If the expensive department stores are not the best place to find safe and effective skin care products, then where is?  Not the corner drug store either.  Surprisingly, the Internet has some pretty good skin care product companies.  What is nice about buying online is that the price is usually fair because the overhead and advertising hasn’t jacked up the price.

Some of these companies understand what a healthy body should have.  Many carry in addition to skin care products a high quality line of nutritional supplements that I find are even better than what the health store may have. 

What Ingredients Work

Ingredients such as CoQ10, Wakame seaweed, grape seed oil, natural vitamin E and a new ingredient that I highly recommend, Cynergy TK.  I found all of these ingredients and more in just one company during my research.  For more information see my website.  Thanks, Margaret Bell

Sarah File asked:


Why do a lot of people say that herbal skin care is the best way to take care of your skin? What is so special about it? What is it that makes herbal products better than artificial skin care products? These are some of the questions that you can find a lot of people asking regarding skin care. However, there are so many skin care articles out there in magazines and the Internet that it is difficult to find authentic, valid information. So, let us take a look at some of the facts now.

Why do a lot of people say that herbal skin care is the best way to take care of your skin?

It is indeed the best way to take care of your skin. There are no ifs or buts here. Herbal skin products are way better than artificial skin care products and it is not just a claim, but a fact. This is why a lot of people, including skin care experts from around the globe, suggest using herbal skin products to get better results.

What is so special about herbal treatment for the skin?

First of all, it is more effective. Second of all, it is a lot safer. The reason why herbal skin treatment is far more effective is simple. Organic products are always good for your body. In other words, as they say, anything natural is only good for your health. So, treating your skin with natural skin care products will benefit you immensely and will give you the best results.

Moreover, herbal skin care products have some of the most powerful ingredients known to skin care experts to date. Ingredients like manuka honey, phytessence wakame, functional keratin, and herbal extracts like nutgrass root extracts are considered the most powerful skincare ingredients known to skin care experts to date.

These ingredients have miraculous skin care properties and can get rid of wrinkles, dark spots, saggy skin, dry skin, and many other skin problems. The best part is – they are absolutely safe to use and they can deliver the results in the shortest possible time if you use them properly and regularly. So, a product with these ingredients is certain to give the best results irrespective of your skin type.

What is it that makes herbal products better than artificial skin care products?

Herbal skin care products are a lot more effective and a lot safer than artificial skin care products. It is as simple as that. Since I’ve covered the effectiveness aspect in the answer for the last question, let me talk about the safety factor in this answer.

There are a number of highly dangerous chemicals found in artificial skin care products which can cause severe external and internal damage to your body. Even the products from some of the most famous big brands have these chemicals in their ingredients. So, the only way to stay safe is to stay away from artificial skin care products.

Alcohols, phenol carbolic acid, toluene, triclosans, parabens, and artificial fragrance are some of most commonly used dangerous chemicals in artificial cosmetic items. These chemicals are capable of causing very serious health problems like severe rashes, allergic reactions, depression, anemia, paralysis, and even cancer. This is the most important reason why you should choose herbal skin care products over artificial skin care products. Natural skin care products do not contain any of these dangerous chemicals as they only have organic ingredients which are absolutely safe to be used by people with any skin type.

So, did you find the answers satisfactory? Were your questions answered? Now that you have a good idea of herbal treatment for the skin and its benefits, you should make sure you always buy the best organic skin care products and treat your skin with natural goodness.
