Skin Care Products

Women are constantly in search of skin care products to keep their skin clean, smooth and fair. Today, skin care products are an essential part of human life in developed and developing countries. Hundreds of different brands of skin care products are available on the market.

Skin becomes more sensitive to chemical allergens and diseases with the increased use of different substances. You should carefully read the label of any skin care product you are considering before using or applying them to your skin. Check whether the product contains a specific aroma, dye or isopropyl alcohol because these products should be kept away from your skin. Before using the skin care product on your skin, always test on your neck in small amounts to determine any potential allergies or skin irritations.

Use a milky cleanser or soap-free bar, which does not produce foam for the first step in cleaning your face. You should rinse your face with lukewarm water and dry with soft towel after you have applied your skin care cleanser.

The moisturizers which contain fatty acids, ceramides and cholesterol act as good protecting agents, forming a protective wall against skin irritation.

Test the skin care products for presence of common irritants like isopropyl alcohol, dyes, lanolin, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid and formaldehyde. Some plant products like rosemary, sandalwood, arnica and other essential oils may cause irritation to some users. If you're not allergic, these substances can be quite good for your skin.

Use of sunscreen in the daytime can be essential if you're outdoors and a non-comodogenic formula is appropriate at night. It helps in building a skin barrier while you sleep. Hair conditioner and hair sprays also cause skin problems if they are not suited to your gentle skin. Check the hair spray for allergies before you use it.

You can use a 1% hydrocortisone cream if your skin itches or use a skin lotion recommended by a dermatologist. You can remove skin blemishes by using irritant-free skin lotions which contain vitamin A. Other medications are available for more serious acne. You should consult a doctor if you want to use antibiotics or birth-control pills while you're taking medications to control acne.
