What Ingredients you should Avoid, for you skin tendency

Ingredients in a skin care product work in the same way as ingredients in a food recipe. For example, in baking, butter richens up a cookie recipe (believe it or not, avocado could even be used as a healthier fat substitute) in the same way that shea butter or fatty acids enrich a face cream. All the various ingredients, whether in a cake or in a cleanser, must combine to create a harmonious whole.

Most ingredients not only benefit the skin in some way but also perform on or more big jobs that keep the product’s delivery system intact.

What ingredients do?

- They moisturize, using humectants and emollient,

- They bind, holding other ingredients together,

- They emulsify, blending oil and water substances together in a smooth formula,

- They thicken or smooth, making a formula richer or able to glide on more easily,

- They preserve, preventing the product from deteriorating, and harboring bacteria,

- They adjust the pH balance, acting as a butter to stabilize acids and bases,

We have different kinds of skin type, so every type of skin should avoid different ingredients for that type of skin.

Oily Acne-prone skin type should avoid ingredients like:

Shea butter, mineral oil, Lanolin, Petrolatum, Paraffin, Beeswax, Squalene, Oils, Silicones, Palmitates, Titanium dioxide, Zinc oxide,

Dry skin type should avoid ingredients like:

Isopropyl alcohol, Sodium chloride, Sodium lauryl sulfate, Sodium laureth sulfate, Ammonium lauryl sulfate, Salicylic acid, Willow bark, AHA acids,

Sensitive skin type should avoid ingredients like:

Isopropyl alcohol, Sodium chloride, Sodium lauryl sulfate, Sodium laureth sulfate, Ammonium lauryl sulfate, Salicylic acid, Willow bark, AHA acids, Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Octisalate, Homosalate, Oxybenzone, Octocrylene,

So, if you look for some interesting and good quality company from the counter I like personally NEUTROGENA, some AVENNO products, CETAPHIL that product my dermatologist prescribe, also ALBA. Everything you can buy in TARGET or any different store. Good look with the shopping I hope you will find right product for you type of skin. Also check on my blog I mentioned early for TYPE OF SKIN.
