Regardless of your skin type, there is now such a wide range of skin care products available that you certainly should be able to find a line of products which works very well. But having so many choices can make it difficult to decide which one will help you the most. What are the kinds of skin care products you should be considering?

Skin Cleansers

The first thing you should look for is a skin cleanser. If your skin is not clean, it does not really matter what else you do to improve the way it looks. If you are someone with sensitive skin, stay away from any skin cleansers which contain fragrances, because they can trigger a lurker reactions. Do you have dry skin? Then avoid a skin cleanser with alcohol, and if your problem is oily skin, you will not want a cleanser which contains additional oil.

If you find a skin cleanser which contains alpha hydroxyl, by all means consider giving it a try. Alpha hydroxyl can stimulate your body's production of collagen and elastin, the connective tissues which support your skin and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Other things to look for in skin cleansers are exfoliates, which will help remove dead surface cells, and moisturizers, which will hydrate the subsurface cells and make your facial skin smoother.

Anti-Aging Wrinkle Cream

Once you have made your choice of skin cleansers, it is time to start looking for an anti-aging wrinkle cream. Once again you have your work cut out for you, because it seems that every skin care products manufacturer is trying to run a piece of the antiaging wrinkle cream market.

Do not settle for any cream which can provide both immediate and long-term skin improvement. Gone are the days when you would have to wait several weeks or months before being able to tell if your wrinkle cream was doing its job. You can also protect yourself by trying only the wrinkle creams which are backed by money-back guarantees.

Different anti-aging wrinkle creams work in different ways. Some of them contain rich moisturizers which hydrate and plump the skin, minimizing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Others hide the lines and wrinkles with millions of microscopic silicon dioxide crystals. These crystals reflect light away from the shadows caused by your wrinkles and lines, and whether shadows aren't visible, either are they! Still other wrinkle creams are loaded with skin-nourishing antioxidants which can repair and prevent the free radical damage responsible for so many signs of skin aging.

SLS-Free Shampoos and Soaps

What is SLS? SLS, or sodium lauryl sulfate, is a chemical used in the greasers, but it is also used in soaps and shampoos to provide the lather that makes you think you are getting really clean. And of course, when you rinse off the soap or shampoo, your skin or hair is much cleaner. What you do not realize, however, is that SLS is a toxin, and has even caused hair loss and severe skin irritation.

Skin care products manufacturers, fortunately, have finally gotten the message, and are now making both soaps and shampoos which are SLS free. Using an SLS-free shampoo may still relate your hair growth.

As your largest organ, your skin deserves to have the best care you can provide, and part of that care includes not exposing it to toxins like SLS. You can now find plenty of all-natural organic skin cleansers and soaps, as well as all natural organic wrinkle creams. They will be free not only of SLS, but of all harsh chemicals.

You live in a time when there are more high quality, health promoting skin care products available. So why not revamp your skin care regimen, and begin using products which are actually good for your skin? You will have to find the products right for you, because your skin is unique. But they are out there, and they will make a huge difference!
