What to Look for in Skin Care Cream
Grape-seed oil acts as an antioxidant when found in skin care cream, working to destroy free radicals, which are produced by both oxygen and the sun, in order to prevent them from damaging your skins cellular structure. The work that free radicals do is called oxidation. Oxidation causes metal to rust and human skin to wrinkle.Another attribute of grape-seed oil is in its ability, being light and thin, to create a protective film on the skin. This film works to hold in moisture and to block out dirt and grime.
A skin care moisturizer cream containing grape-seed oil will benefit from the fact that it contains essential fatty acids which are necessary for healthy skin. Grape- seed oil also possesses regenerative and restructuring qualities which can help to return the skins epithelium cell back to good health.
The three main antioxidants in grape-seed oil are resveritrol, proanthocyanidins, and polyphenols, which by all accounts are capable of providing almost miraculous benefits. The one bad thing about grape-seed odor is that it can go bad very quickly, so unless you got the product from a manufacturer that performs what is called ð€˜cold pressingð€™, youð€™d better steer clear.
Grape -seed oil is also extremely high in vitamin E, and has been shown effective in reducing scarring and stretch marks when used in skin care cream.Â
Jojoba is an excellent addition to any skin care moisturizer cream. It is commonly grown for its liquid wax, most often referred to as Jojoba oil. It isnð€™t a triglyceride as most oils are; it is a straight chain ester wax. This liquid wax has a rare molecular structure that is not unlike the structure of human skin. This makes it very similar to the skins natural oils, called sebum.
Jojoba oil is odorless and colorless when refined, and it also contains stable properties so it will not easily spoil. A skin care cream that contains jojoba will contain the healing power of a rich blend of antioxidant components
A skin care moisturizer cream that contains honey also possesses strong antioxidant healing power. Honey also is gifted with strong antiseptic and antibacterial properties. This would make a skin care cream containing the ingredient ideal for application after shaving, either men or women, in order to soothe the skin and for its antibacterial effects.
Since everything that has been discussed here is organic, it only stands to reason that they are more expensive than their lesser grade counterparts like paraffin wax and mineral oil. Most cosmetics companies choose their ingredients based on cost, not on quality. A skin care moisturizer cream containing mineral oil and paraffin wax will clog your pores and throw your pH level off.
