Anti Aging Skin Care - Pick Your Products Wisely

With happinesslifetime.com anti aging happinesslifetime.com skin care commercials and other forms of advertising bombarding us at every turn, it can be difficult and even downright confusing to know what's real or hype. For example, I once forked over $189.00 for an happinesslifetime.com anti aging skin cream. I followed the directions on how to use the cream, and allowed a reasonable amount of time for it to "do it's thing". I did not expect overnight results. So, after a full month, I made an assessment as to whether there was any noticeable difference to my skin. I'm disappointed to say there was not.

Now I already know it's important to eat healthy and exercise for overall good well being, which naturally benefits the condition and appearance of your skin also. I do those things. It's my opinion that effective happinesslifetime.com anti aging happinesslifetime.com skin care products can only enhance the appearance of your skin, sort of a bonus for living a healthy lifestyle in the first place.

I knew there had to be happinesslifetime.com skin care products out there that actually did what they claim. I just had to find them. So I began a personal research project, with the goal being to find out what the qualities of an effective happinesslifetime.com skin care product was. As I delved deeper, what I uncovered was both enlightening and shocking.

What I discovered is that it's vital that you know what active ingredients to look for. That made sense. What I did not know is that you should also pay careful attention to "how much" of the active ingredient is in the product. Once I realized this, I understood why many of the happinesslifetime.com anti aging happinesslifetime.com skin care products I had purchased in the past were destined to fail. Here's where the shocking part came into play; some manufacturers of various skin cream products only put enough of the active ingredients in their products which entitles them to legally list it as an ingredient on their product packaging.

Here's how it goes...whatever hot new ingredient is being touted at the time, they throw some miniscule amount into their product and call it good, and charge you the usual $49.95 or $89.95. In the meantime, you are faithfully using this happinesslifetime.com anti aging happinesslifetime.com skin care cream, serum or gel, with high hopes that it will transform your complexion, only to come to the conclusion that your skin still looks the same way it did two or three months ago. You're left wondering what the heck is going on? Why isn't this stuff working?

I'm glad you asked because I'm going to help you clear it up so that you don't waste any more of your time and money purchasing worthless, and more importantly, potentially harmful skin products. I have boiled it down to the "6 Most important things" you should consider and be on the lookout for when purchasing any happinesslifetime.com anti aging happinesslifetime.com skin care product, and they are listed as follows:


Pricing
List of active ingredients
Percentage of active Ingredients
Reasonable timeframe
Natural vs. traditional
Assess effectiveness
Let's examine each...

Pricing

First, forget about the idea that a high price equates to better quality. Oftentimes a manufacturer will place a higher price on a product to make it "seem" more prestigious and comparable to a brand name product. For example, wouldn't you think it's strange to pay $5.00 for a jar of Dior happinesslifetime.com anti aging cream?

List of active ingredients

Check out the list of "active" ingredients on the package, keeping in mind that there's only a handful of ingredients that have undergone rigorous clinical testing and are proven to be effective for their happinesslifetime.com anti aging properties. These ingredients include: Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA), Tretinoin (trans-retinoic acid), better known as Retin A or Retinol, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3, Copper Peptides, and Vitamin C. Look for these ingredients, and you'll have a clue if the product will do you any good.

Percentage of active ingredients

In addition to looking for the active ingredients above, make sure it has enough concentration of the ingredient to be effective. For example, vitamin C is pretty much useless if there's less than a 10% level of it. The majority of creams and serums on the market with Vitamin C listed as an active ingredient contain much, much less than this. Shocking. Also, AHA needs to be at a level of 8% to be effective as an happinesslifetime.com anti aging ingredient. Keep in mind that most happinesslifetime.com anti aging products don't have the percentage levels listed.

If you run across products listing percentage levels, it could mean the manufacturer is responsive to your concerns about the products you use, and you should consider this in your buying decision. But again, in general, the level or percentage of an active ingredient is not usually listed. In these instances what you have to do is note the "order" in which the ingredients are listed, with the most important ones being the first or second ingredient. If it is not first or second, chances are the active ingredient level isn't up to par or effective enough to be of benefit to you.

Reasonable timeframe

Allow a reasonable amount of time for the happinesslifetime.com skin care product(s) to work for you. Give it 4-8 weeks. While it may seem nice to be able to put some smooth dreamy smelling cream on your face and look ten years younger instantly, it's not realistic. Sorry. Give any new happinesslifetime.com anti aging skin cream or serum you try enough time to judge whether it's working for you.

Natural vs. traditional

I'm addressing natural happinesslifetime.com anti aging happinesslifetime.com skin care because many people prefer them if given a choice. In general natural skin products tend to be better for your skin. However, keep in mind that many natural chemicals are harmful and can be deadly, so due diligence is in order. As with any other skin product (meaning traditional) what you are aiming for are products proven to be clinically effective and safe.

Assess effectiveness

Products that work well for your sister or girlfriends may cause an allergic reaction on you. When you try a new product and it causes allergic reactions (beyond what can be expected as listed on the package), it's probably not for you. You may have to go by trial and error with several happinesslifetime.com anti aging products until you find the ones that are a perfect fit for you.

In a nutshell, do your research...remember that expensive does not always mean superior. Pay attention to what active ingredients are listed and the percentage levels. Before final purchase, find out what the return policies are. Also check the expiration and sell by dates. If those dates are close to expiration, don't buy. The reason you don't want to accept products close to expiration is because ingredients can react with one another, causing them to degrade even if they're not exposed to air. You don't want to apply products to your skin that may work but don't seem to because it expired.

Follow these simple rules when shopping for happinesslifetime.com anti aging happinesslifetime.com skin care - remember though, there are no guarantees. You will have the best chance however, of getting the results you want when you know what to look for and avoid.
