Cleansing skin care products used by most people are not doing everything they say they will do. Often these false promises are made and the public does not give them another thought. They assume the products are working.

Yet, they cannot understand why they are still having problems. Break outs and dry skin are a couple of the problems they are wrestling with and cannot seem to overcome. Why are these problems persisting if a good skin cleansing product is being used?

"Because the skin cleansing product you are using is not as good as the company says." All soaps are not created equal. Some have abrasives that can harm your skin rather than help it to be smooth.

Everyone has heard the term 'peaches and cream' complexion. But did you know that crushed peach pits can harm your skin? This is an abrasive and can cause redness and irritation.

Chemicals, Preservatives and Additives

Chemicals are another thing that is added to cleansing skin care products. The use of chemicals in anything much less what you put on your face is dangerous. There are any number of additives in soap that can be harmful.

This is why the importance of finding out what is in the soap you are using is so vital. Using a soap that is made with natural ingredients is far more beneficial to your skin than anything else.

Additives are normally put into products just to be used as a filler. This helps the manufacturer to get the maximum amount of a product to sell. In turn, they make more money from less ingredients that are beneficial.

Cleansing skin care products should ultimately contain a high degree of natural ingredients, such as antioxidants. This will help rid the skin of free radicals that have formed over a period of years.

Sun exposure is one of the culprits when it comes to free radicals. However, by using ingredients such as macadamia oil, you can reduce the free radicals and help your skin to look smoother and younger.

A couple of very good all natural skin cleansing products are Manuka honey from New Zealand and macadamia oil. An ingredient that is found in the southern Alps from the foothills is called kaolin.

This is quite oil absorbing and can also clean your skin by removing deep down grime that has accumulated. In addition, the disinfectant properties contained in this ingredient can help to protect against problem skin and heal the skin that has already suffered damage.

Cleansing skin care is extremely important and should be done correctly to realize the maximum benefits.
