Not all aging skin moisturizers are going to work as effectively as the next.
Many aging skin products on the market don't provide you with the correct skin care ingredients with which to effectively moisturize your skin.
Let me give you an example of what doesn't work and what will do wonders.
Skin Moisturizers That Do Not Work The majority of the products that are on the market use cheap moisturizing agents that are not only ineffective in treating the dried condition of your skin, but that are actually bad for you.
Some of these so-called moisturizing agents will leave your skin even drier than it was to begin with.
Would You Use Crude Oil on Your Face? A lot of products use petroleum based ointments as their anti aging skin moisturizers.
Although organically produced these agents are by no means the answer to your dry skin problems.
Of course, I would never expect that a byproduct of crude oil production would prove to be very healthy for my skin.
Petroleum jelly and gasoline are byproducts of crude oil.
Mineral oil and petrolatum, although of different consistency, are actually the exact same thing.
They are both at base nothing more than petroleum jelly.
Neither has the properties necessary in order to be able to effectively penetrate your skin to provide the moisture where it is actually needed.
When utilized as anti aging skin moisturizers these petroleum based oils will remain on the outermost layers of your skin, forming a thin film that will at once attract and trap dirt and grime, will block your pores, and will interfere with the natural exfoliation process.
All in all these are bad choices for moisturizing your skin.
Please read the label and discard any products using petroleum byproducts.
Good Skin Moisturizers That Work What your products should contain are more readily absorbable plant based oils.
The reason that these are more acceptable is because their properties are closer in nature to the skin's own natural oil, known as sebum.
This makes these oils the ideal choice for moisturizing your skin.
Grape Seed Oil Your aging skin moisturizers should include Grape Seed oil due to not only its incredible absorbability, but also for its antioxidant properties.
This aids in ridding the skin of damaging free radicals, and helps to repair the damage that your skin you have accrued over the years.
Avocado Oil Another wonderful moisturizer that you should look for in your products is Avocado oil.
Not only does this oil contain both omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids, but it also has properties that encourage the growth of collagen.
This is definitely one of the best natural oils that are available for your skin.
Passion Fruit Another ingredient that you should try is Maracuja passion fruit extract, which is rich in linolenic acid.
This essential fatty acid helps to both nourish and revitalize your skin, and give it a soft, velvety feel.
It also regulates the amount of sebum that your skin produces, preventing it from becoming too oily or too dry.
These natural anti aging skin moisturizers are exactly what you need in order to have skin that absolutely glows.
I found only one source that used these and other natural ingredients.
See author box for details.
You will be amazed at the way that your skin looks and feels after repeated treatments with these all natural emollients.
