Anti aging products and skin care products is a massive industry. Millions or even billions of dollars are spent every year by women who are looking for anti aging skin care treatments that will keep their skin healthy and looking younger. And there are plenty of big companies in the anti aging and cosmetics industry just waiting to take advantage.But that doesn't mean that the products work well, and there are many big brand name anti-aging skin care products that do very little. There is no government regulation in the US requiring companies to demonstrate that their products work or that they even use safe ingredients.So as well as the fact that many skin care products don't work they can contain dangerous ingredients.But despite this they sell huge amounts of these products that advertise their ability to make you look younger. Everywhere you look you see products telling you they will make you younger and look great.So how do you navigate through all the hype and choose a range of anti aging skin care treatments that actually work, and don't contain dangerous ingredients?Here's how not to choose a good anti aging product.1. Don't buy any skin care products that include fragrances in them. Now of course everyone likes to smell good, and the cosmetics companies pander to that, by adding fragrances to their products. Apply the cream and smell good and look young all at the same time.There's 2 problems. Firstly you won't look younger because chances are the skin cream won't make you look younger, though you may feel good about having used it.Secondly, fragrances are not good chemicals to put on your skin. Because that's what they are, chemicals that smell good, and many of them aren't that good for you. It's the same with perfumes, for example, but if you apply a perfume it's only a small squirt on one spot, it's not massaged all over your face where it disappears, into your blood. So just use a perfume instead.2. Don't buy anti aging skin care creams with collagen in them. Now we all know that as we age our skin loses collagen, so surely we need collagen replaced to combat the sagging and wrinkling and lines that come with skin aging?Well yes and no. We do need to replace the collagen, but collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin, so putting collagen in the bottle does nothing, other than making you feel good perhaps.The only way to increase the levels of collagen in our skin is to stimulate the skin to make more collagen itself.So why is that collagen in the bottle, and why is that big name celebrity on TV telling you how much younger they look? Because the anti aging companies know that people buy the products if they have collagen in them, so they sell lots of bottles.Even if it's got dangerous ingredients in it like fragrances and doesn't do all that much it still sells fast.That's marketing for you.Problem is, all this marketing is expensive. The good looking celebrity has to be paid, usually lots, the fancy bottles need to be purchased, and the advertising costs a bomb.So the anti aging skin care treatment that really doesn't do much costs a bomb too. But that's ok because people believe that if it's expensive it must be good. So they pay anyway.There's 2 things to avoid when looking for a good anti aging skin care treatment. There's more, but that's for another time, or visit my website.Does all this mean that you should give up on anti aging creams and products because they don't work? Not at all. There are excellent anti aging products that work fine, produced from ingredients from plants that are safe to use.But these products aren't made by the mainstream companies you would know now. They are made by small niche skincare companies that don't advertise on TV. Because they don't spend megabucks on TV advertising their products are competitively priced, and that 's also why you've probably never heard of these companies.Don't despair. I've shown you just some of the things to avoid when choosing anti aging skin care products, and told you there are excellent alternatives. Now it's up to you.
