Is there a good online resource for advanced skin care recipes using the latest ingredients for aging?

I have recently turned 43 and noticed a few more lines cropping up on my face. I would like to make my own skin care with both kitchen ingredients and advanced ingredients that are showing some promise like matryxl, etc...

How many people really pay attention to the ingredients in skin care/makeup products?

I'm very curious to know how many people really understand how important ingredients are in cosmetics and skin care. Everything we put on our bodies gets absorbed into the blood stream and cause illness/diseases/even cancers. We get what we pay for and this is not an area to look for cheap products. What do you think?

2 Ingredients Every Skin Care Cream Should Have (And 2 They Shouldn?T!)

Do you avoid the skin care cream aisle at the store? Are you stubbornly using the same skin care moisturizer cream from 5 years ago, simply to avoid shopping for a new one? It's overwhelming to see hundreds of "the best..." skincare products to choose from. How can you possibly determine which are rip-offs and which actually work? How can you be sure that the 3 oz bottle of skin care moisturizer cream (priced at $34.99) isn't the same stuff as the $3.99 bottle of Jergens at Wal-mart? I'll make it easy for you. Here is a crash-course in skin care cream ingredients. I've listed 2 ingredients your skin is crying out for, and 2 ingredients your skin has nightmares about. With just these 4 tips, you'll be able to weed out 95% of the thorns and come out with a rose.

2 Things Every Skin Care Cream Should HaveBabassu

Vitamin E (in the form of natural alpha-tocopherol)

2 Things Your Skin Care Cream Should NOT HaveParabens - (look on the label for methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl parabens)

Mineral oil - (also written on the label as liquid paraffin, paraffin wax, or petrolatum)

In evaluating your skin care cream, keep this question in your mind: Could you eat your skin care moisturizer cream? (I'm not suggesting you do, just asking if you could.) If you recoil in horror from putting those ingredients in your mouth, why would you put them on your skin? After all, it's going to be absorbed and enter your body just as if you had eaten it. Crack open that cabinet and pull out your skin care cream. Flip it over and look at the ingredients label. If your skin care moisturizer cream is missing those two important ingredients, and if it uses mineral oil and Parabens instead, it's time to find a new skin care cream.You can spread effective skin care cream and eat it too. Synthetics not only damage your skin's health in the long run, they are simply not as efficient in treating your skin in the long run. (But they are cheaper! This is why so many skincare manufacturers use them!)Babassu and Natural Vitamin E are just the tip of the iceberg. There are a whole host of other ingredients that bring will bring out the best in your skin care cream.

Phytessence Wakame, Maracuja, and Crodamol OP come most immediately to mind. You can find out more about these amazing botanical ingredients (and where to find a skin care cream with them inside) at my website linked below.

Ranae Pritchard is passionate about balancing "effectiveness" and "good for you" in skin care products. She believes beauty is much more than just skin deep. What you put on your skin is just as important as what you put in your mouth.

There are healthy and natural remedies to even the worst skin issues. The key is in the ingredients. Do you choose plant oils and extracts with proven clinical histories? Or chemical by-products that have been linked to cancers? The difference could be a long lifetime of glowing skin.
