Let’s face it… with all the skincare companies out there looking for your attention, it’s hard to know which products are worth your money and time. It is particularly difficult to find good face creams because the skin on our face is very sensitive and we have to be very careful about what we apply to it. When doing a face cream review, we can narrow down our choices based on a bunch of important factors. Here are 7 things to know before reviewing face creams and deciding on the product of your choice.
- Read customer testimonials and avoid reading face cream reviews written by companies. You can only take sales pitches with a grain of salt. Customers who have tried and tested the products are the best sources.
- When reviewing a face cream, remember that a high price is no guarantee that the product is good. You may be surprised to find that there are good products out there that are reasonably priced because little money is spent on advertising and marketing and definitely not because quality is sacrificed. In fact, it’s the opposite.
- Find out about the best active ingredients for face creams before doing face cream reviews. Some important and effective natural ingredients to look out for include functional keratin, coenzyme Q10 in nanoemulsion form, and wakame.
- When reviewing face creams, compare the percentages of active ingredients that these different products contain. Look for products that contain at least 50% active ingredients.
- Skip products that contain SPF factors from your face cream reviews. SPF factors are not going to help prevent skin cancer. The ingredients they contain have been linked to cancer in scientific studies.
- Include only products that have signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics in your face cream review. By signing this pact, companies agree not to use harmful chemical ingredients in their skin care products.
- Do you want your face cream to not only hydrate your skin but also reverse the signs of aging? In your face cream review, only include products that combat the three main causes of aging, which are hyaluronic acid loss, free radical damage, and collagen and elastin loss.
Do yourself a favor and do face cream reviews with all of the above in mind. Ignore the glossy pictures advertising mediocre face creams in the big magazines and take a moment to consider what really matters. You will soon realize that there are good facial creams that are natural and effective; you just have to do your homework before you can find them.
