Let's face it, we all want to look younger, and seek out 100% pure skin care products we see advertized, but the truth is not even the best holistic skin care can be 100% natural. Let me explain why. It's all down to the processing. If you are a purist, it's just not possible to have 100% pure skin care ingredients, in the sense that they have not been processed in any way, as even many high quality ones that come from plant extracts are naturally processed to increase their effectiveness. Now that said however, the majority of the so called holistic skin care creams on the market contain a heady mix of toxins like mineral oil (paraffin wax, petrolatum), parabens (methyl, propyl) and fragrances which could be any number of 1000's of toxins. This is in part due to the chemical mass processing they go through and also to pad out their creams and make them last longer. You should always try to avoid any anti aging creams with chemicals in and also choose fragrance free. Many of the excellent companies are unheard of and have some of the best and most natural ingredients in the world. Take Cynergy TK for example, from New Zealand sheep wool. This has been proven to increase the body's production of collagen and elastin, the two most important skin proteins, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. So although 100% pure skin care may be a myth, by seeking out the right plant based products, you can get pretty close. It may sound strange but you should be able to eat any of your holistic skin care products, as what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream, that's how natural it should be! Only a handful of companies are able to do this, like the anti aging skin care line I use from a company in New Zealand, which put its resources into the best and most effective ingredients and not glossy advertizing. Other great ingredients are Phytessence wakame from sea kelp, full of moisturizing and antioxidant properties, and a well kept Japanese beauty secret, and the strange sounding Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10, which is the most effective form of Coenzyme Q10, a powerful antioxidant which can nourish deep down the full seven layers for deep moisturizing and producing remarkable anti wrinkle effects. So I hope you can now see that while 100% pure skin care is not a reality, find the right source and you can have the next best thing- high quality natural plant based holistic skin care, returning your skin's youthful glow while caring for your health at the same time.
