Believe it or not, most of the people who buy body creams go by what they see in advertisements in magazines and TV.
Most of them do not even know what these products are made of.
And then after trying these products for few months and not getting the desired results they wonder why this product is not working.
Effectiveness of a product is governed by its active ingredients and not by the brand or quality of its advertisement.
Next time you buy a body lotion and creams take a look at the ingredient list.
If the list has harmful contents as mentioned below please avoid it.
Artificial Fragrances: Try to avoid any kind of fragrance, because fragrances are made up of harmful chemicals.
These chemicals won't do any good to your skin.
Think yourself, you are buying this cream for your skin to look good but not smell good.
There is a different range of products that make your skin smell good.
Mineral Oils These oils are petroleum by products.
When there are natural and effective oils available why would one go for ineffective and artificial oils? Now that we know what to avoid in body creams, lets go back to basics and try to understand why our skin starts degrading with age.
Collagen is the most abundant protein found in our body making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content.
Collagen constitutes 1% to 2% of muscle tissue, and accounts for 6% of the weight of strong muscles.
Collagen has great tensile strength, and is the main component of fascia, ligaments, tendons, bone and skin.
Along with soft keratin, it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity.
With age our body produces lesser amount of collagen and hence its degradation leads to wrinkles, sagging skin and other skin related problems.
There are many natural ingredients like CynergyTK and natural Vitamin E that stimulate the re-growth of collagen, elastin and new skin cells.
The proteins in Cynergy TK have a significant, rapid and long-term effect on the skin's firmness, by increasing its elasticity and moisture retention.
Furthermore, the proteins in Cynergy TK penetrate deeply into the skin, supporting its natural protein structure and helping the skin to retain moisture.
In conclusion good body creams should not have any harmful content or chemicals instead they should consist of natural ingredients.
