With so many remedies and creams available today, it can be hard to know what the best ingredients to firm skin are. Here are the most effective and natural ones to keep your skin soft and younger looking and the ones to avoid.

If you look at the labels on most leading brands you will no doubt see mineral oil (paraffin wax, petrolatum), parabens (methyl, propyl) and fragrances which could be any number of thousands of chemicals and also dioxane, known to the state of California to cause cancer.

These are in virtually every cream and lotion today because they are cheap but can harm your skin over the long term. They strip away your natural oils and prevent the skin from eliminating toxins properly, resulting in irritations and allergic reactions.

The best ingredients to firm skin will be free from harmful chemicals and contain potent natural extracts proven to work. The secret is to use ones that increase your natural supply of collagen and elastin as these proteins keep your skin tight yet supple and smooth.

Some examples are Cynergy TK, Phytessence wakame, Babassu wax, vitamin E, Jojoba and Avocado oil along with Manuka honey.

As your collagen levels increase, you will feel your skin becoming firmer and also retaining more moisture to keep it soft and smooth. As these ingredients are natural they help to heal any blemishes and irritated areas and are safe enough to eat!

Anything you put on your skin finds its way into your bloodstream in a similar way to what you eat; making it essential that it is as natural as possible. It seems most of the leading brand manufacturer's care more about their profits than your health.

The right natural substances will also deliver essential nutrients and powerful antioxidants to keep your skin healthy in the future. Phytessence wakame for example is a type of Japanese sea kelp that does just this.

It helps to increase the elasticity and moisturize deep down to restore your youthful glow with tighter and healthier skin and provide some protection from the suns UV rays.

By paying closer attention to the labels and looking for the best ingredients to firm skin, you can help yourself to long lasting and much healthier skin that helps to reveal your more youthful looks.
