What to Avoid in Men's Skin Care Products

By: Dr. Valerie Rosenbaum

You might know what you like in men skin care products: easy to use, simple and clean. How about what you should avoid? Do you know about that? There are some ingredients you do not want to encounter or apply to your skin. Here are six to watch out for:

Alcohols: alcohols are common in cosmetics and should be avoided. They cause drying and irritation. Alcohols strip away the skin’s natural acid mantle. This can leave you more susceptible to mold, bacteria and viruses.

Fragrance: most artificial fragrance is synthetic and harmful to the body and skin. Many synthetic fragrance chemicals are toxic and carcinogenic. And , they don’t smell very good either. Truly fragrance free lotions and creams will be pleasant and light. Perhaps a slight hint of the underlying natural oils and fruit based antioxidants will be noticeable.

Mineral oil: this stuff is a petroleum by-product that coats the skin to seal in moisture. It clogs pores and encourages acne. The worst part is that this ingredient is so common and keeps the body from eliminating toxins. Don’t purchase any products with mineral oil. Apply only natural skin care for men. The selection is excellent and your skin will give you a very swift opinion of the quality of your products choice. Garbage in: garbage out.

Nitrosamines: men skin care products with formaldehyde releasing preservatives such as bronpol or quaternium-15 may form nitrosamines as part of the complex chemical reactions they undergo when applied to the skin. May be cancer causing. Find a line of products with no harmful ingredients at all. Don’t compromise with your skin.

Parabens: avoid paraben preservatives. They are used as a common preservative in cosmeceuticals. Men skin care products without preservatives purchased in small quantities from reputable companies are your best bet for safety. Everything you apply to your skin eventually passes into your bloodstream and on to your other organs. Don’t take chances.

Rancid natural emollients: seek out cold pressed oils in your natural skin care for men. When oils are heated during refining they are stripped of vital nutrients and can even contain poisons such as trans-fatty acids. You wouldn’t eat rancid oils or cook with them so don’t allow them near your skin.

Remember this men skin care products are available to deal with every issue you face. Smoking? Harsh weather, drying interior air, pollution? Not a problem with the specialty skin care that scientific research, not giant advertising budgets, has made available to all men regardless of location. You will look and feel so much better once you begin to take care of your skin regularly.

Begin a new way of cleansing and moisturizing and the damage left from years of poor to average care will be reversed. Natural skin care for men is the wave of the future because it works. Stay away from harsh chemicals and the texture of your skin will improve visibly very swiftly. You’ll see a remarkable difference with just a few changes now that you know what to avoid.
