It’s safe to say that aging and skin greasiness,not to mention other skin problems, are issues that most women are painfully aware of.

We have all been guilty of falling for the latest miracle skin cream, the cream that sorts out all our skin care issues. We have tried many concoctions promising many wonderful results. Unfortunately the only thing these wonder products had in common was their failure to work and the mess it left our skin in.

As you grow older, you body begins to produce less and less levels of the proteins collagen and elastin. These are vital proteins for maintaining the skins firmness and smoothness. These two proteins, as we age, are more and more difficult for the body to produce. This causes our skin to sag and wrinkle and makes it more and more difficult for our skin to maintain it’s normal more youthful levels of moisture.

If the truth was known we have probably done more harm than good as we tested our way through a multitude of lotions and creams over the years. Very often these creams and lotions contained high amounts,proportionately,of alcohol and oily substances. Initially it always looked as if it was working but ultimately the effect wore off and we ended up worse than we were before we started.

What makes it worse is that most brand name products on the market today actually clog our pores as well which stops the skins natural ability to breathe and get proper levels of oxygen. A horrible thought for something you spend tens money on monthly. This becomes even worse when you begin to perspire causing your skin to clog up with dirt instead of being able to naturally wash away unwanted particles.

These creams are packed with substances that give a temporary plumpness and firmness to the skin.In truth all they are doing is blocking our pores and restricting the bodys ability to breathe through the skin.Never a good idea, let alone be of any help with skin aging and greasiness.Once again it was all an illusion.

So what is the solution? The solution is to find a product that works to replenish the skins natural levels of collagen and elastin as well as hyaluronic acid. A good product will also work toward fighting oxidization due to free radicals, and not with the help of ingredients that actually increase aging and skin greasiness.

We need to stay away from hype and look for genuine ,quality products that actually do as they say they do, and not at a ridiculous price either.
