Tired of going around selecting the wrong face moisturizers for you? Well you are in the same situation as thousands of others, thanks to the presence of ample amount of poor quality skin care creams out there. Here are some of the tips I have to offer for selecting the best face moisturizer.

Majority of the face moisturizers in the market today contain a mix of chemicals like mineral oil and fragrances, and also dioxane, which is a carcinogen (substances which promote the growth of cancerous cells). I am pretty much sure that you wouldn’t want any of them chemicals on your skin, so these are not the face moisturizers you want for yourself. In order to take proper care of your skin, you have to find the right moisturizers which are naturally made and free of chemicals. This, trust me, is way harder then it seems to be. Most of the creams you would look at, would say natural or organic on them, which is not exactly true, it’s just another marketing trick. What you should do is to check the creams for the ingredients. The best ingredients are Cynergy TK and Phytessence wakame.

So where do these ingredients come from? Well Cynergy TK comes from New Zealand Sheep’s wool, and naturally helps out your body to grow the hormones that used to keep your skin moist and fresh in your younger days. There are two skin proteins most popular in this regard, known as collagen and elastin. These two proteins are mainly the reason our skin looks "aged" as they are produced less as we grow older. Now when the awareness about these two proteins is increasing, the cream marketers are deploying another strategy, they are including these two as one of the ingredients for their creams. But that is practically useless for our skin, as these protein molecules are too large to penetrate in our skin anyways. They have to be produced by the body itself.

As far as Phytessence wakame is concerned, it is a sea kelp from Japan, and is actually consumed there everyday for its amazing health benefits. It is actually full of compounds called "antioxidants" which protect your skin cells from aging and drying down; therefore healing irritated and dried out skin. It also boosts your immune system, which is even better right?

Other great natural ingredients you should look for while buying face moisturizers are Babassu wax and Maracuja from the Amazon rainforest. The most important thing about Babassu wax is that it’s not greasy at all, unlike other types of oils present in chemical moisturizers. It rejuvenates the skin, softens it, and helps out to repel dirt. The best part of it is that it is good for all the skin types. On the other hand, Maracuja is a fruit extract, helping out to nourish your skin naturally, hence leaving it soft and velvety smooth.

So, when ever you go out to buy face moisturizers the next time, look out for these ingredients in them. These natural ingredients make you look beautiful, and will also increase your overall health in the process.
