Ingredients to Avoid

There are many skincare products available that say they will do wonders to your skin, well this is true, but not good wonders. There are so many different ingredients used in skincare products now a day that many will actually harm your skin before they do any good.

One ingredient that everyone feels will be great on their skin is mineral oil, but it actually happens to be a very lethal ingredient that prevents your skin from being able to breathe. Don't be fooled though; mineral oil goes by many names including liquid paraffin, paraffin wax, and even petrolatum. It happens to be used a lot because it's cheap saving the manufacturer's money and charging you a little extra.

Mineral oil can be one of the leading causes to your skin aging in a manor you don't want. With the way it clogs your pores and prevents your skin from breathing you'll soon see the appearance of blemishes and many other unwanted facial elements, so by avoiding products that have mineral oil ingredients you're on your way to getting better skin.

Some other ingredients that you should attempt to avoid being in your skincare products include the following:

     
• Dioxane      
• Fragrances      
• Parabenes      
• Alcohols
