What Kinds of Skin Care Products
to avoid and why!

Not all skin care products are best for slowing or preventing the signs of aging on the skin. Here is a list of kinds of products to avoid and why for aging skin.

anti-aging creams Alcohol-Based Toner/Cleaning Products
Alcohol–based products have a tendency to dry out the skin leading to a number of skin concerns including itchiness, dry and flaky skin, and an overall dull appearance to the skin.

Harsh Body Soap
If you want to use it on your body fine, but please do not use it on your face. Most body soaps tend to dry out the skin. This drying out of the skin can lead to flaking skin; red blocky patches; increase visible fine lines and wrinkles and possible discoloration of the skin.

Solid Cleaning Creams
Using Solid Cleaning Creams also called commonly as cold cream can clog pores creating bumps on the skin, enlarge pore size and in some cases lead to adult acne.

Heavy Oil Based Products
Using heavy oil based products especially under/around the eyes at night can lead to puffiness the next morning.
