People
no longer prescribe to minimal moisturizer choices like oil-free
or cream. Today, lotions and creams are enhanced with a host
of ingredients to combat almost every skin issue imaginable.
To help you figure out which ingredients will serve your skin
best, check out the listing below:
To protect skin from the sun look for these ingredients:
Micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, Parsol
1789 (also known as avobenzone). These three ingredients are
the best ones to look for in a sunscreen because they block
both types of sunlight: UVA and UVB rays. Vitamin C, which
has been shown to have a photo-protective effect on the skin. |

To
remove dark spots look for these ingredients:
Hydroquinone and kojic acid, which act as lighteners on over-pigmented
areas. These ingredients take about two months to work, so
be patient when using them.
To
make the skin glow look for these ingredients:
Alpha-, beta-, and poly-hydroxy acids, whose sloughing effects
bring healthier, more radiant skin cells to the surface. Light-diffusing
particles, which soften the appearance of light reflected
from the skin, giving skin a luminous quality.
To fight fine lines and wrinkles look for these ingredients:
Retinol, a vitamin-A derivative that increases collagen productions
to, over time, plump up wrinkles. Alpha-, beta-, and poly-hydroxy
acids, which gently slough away surface layers of skin to
remove the smallest wrinkles. See products at www.derma-c.com
that address these kinds of issues. |
