A Guide to Choosing Age Spot Lotions - What You Should Know Posted By : R Kalpana

It's unbelievable how many anti-aging skin care treatments like age spot lotions are available in the market these days—all of them claiming to keep your skin from aging. However, not all of these claims are true and as a consumer, you have to be wary of products that are not effective.



In choosing age spot lotions, you need to know what ingredients to look for and what to avoid. This article will tell you about the latter.



Most age spot lotions use mineral oil or what they sometimes refer to as paraffin or petrolatum because of its low cost. However, you have to steer clear of any anti-aging lotions with this ingredient because it only clogs your pores, which only causes skin problems like acne.



You should also choose age spot lotions which do not have any fragrances. No matter how nice the smell is, you have to keep in mind that fragrances should only be used in colognes or perfumes, not in skin products because they can cause skin problems and even cancer.



So the next time that you want to smell good, do not buy fragrant age spot lotions that smell like flowers, fruits, or other sweet scents because these products are used to have younger looking skin. Get yourself a perfume or cologne instead, which are created to make people smell nice and fragrant.



Another popular ingredient that most skin care products have and you should avoid is dioxane because it can also cause cancer. If you buy a skin product with this ingredient which is actually an artificial coconut derivative, it is like intentionally doing your body harm.



You probably already know this but do not buy skin products with alcohol as one of the main ingredients, specifically isopropyl alcohol, ethyl, methanol, ethanol, and benzyl alcohol because these are harmful substances to your skin. There are other kinds of alcohol that do not cause any problems when applied on the skin but the previously stated alcohol types cause dryness and irritation.



Alcohols also make your more prone to bacterial, viral, and fungal skin diseases because they remove the outermost layer of your skin, which makes your skin more exposed to such disease-causing micro organisms. So if you are planning to buy an anti aging skin product, leave the alcohol-based products on their shelves for your own good.



Many companies that manufacture age spot lotions also want to save as much money as they can, that is why they try to make their products have the longest possible shelf life by adding parabens such as ethyl, propyl, methyl, and butyl parabens. However, there are many researches that focused on the harmful effects of parabens such as cancer, endocrine problems, skin problems, and allergies to a person's body.



Do yourself a favour and stop buying age spot lotions that have these ingredients unless you want to look much older than your age. Choose the best products available in the market that only have safe ingredients to have fresh and vibrant looking skin.
