Anti-aging products have permeated the market place in the last several years. As we all age, our goal is to age gracefully and maintain the healthiest skin that we possibly can.
As we work to repair skin damage from years of living, skin nourishment needs vary from person to person, skin type to skin type. Although most natural anti-aging products do not contain harsh chemicals, we need to be pro-active and understand what natural ingredients are best for our skin, and choose our products accordingly.

Extracts that smoothe and soften the skin contain proteins such as vitamin A, sugar, starch, vitamin B1, iron, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, and calcium.

restore the original health and glow.
As you shop for anti-aging products with a better understanding of what the botanical ingredients are meant to do for your skin, remember to make sure that your product is formulated without mineral oil. Mineral oil is occlusive oil that can interfere with skin functions as well as advanced delivery systems. To fully understand the effects that mineral oil products may have on your skin, try this test at home: take a soda cracker and immerse it in mineral oil for 10 minutes. The cracker will be leathered and hardened, just like our skin.
Botanically based products differ from company to company. The information provided by each company will differ based on what the focus is for the product. Most botanical oils can be used for multiple purposes. Botanicals are also currently not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, so care must be taken when entering into this arena. Skin reactions will vary from skin type to skin type, age of the skin, current skin
issues, etc. Please be cautious when trying new botanical products and use small amounts until you are sure how your skin will react.
I recommend that you purchase your anti-aging products from one company for consistency. This will help ensure that the ingredients in each product compliment each other, and not counter-act each others affects once they are applied to your skin.
