Many people struggle for years and spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic products and procedures to no avail: they never look any younger. It’s not that they did anything wrong, they just didn’t know any better. Cosmetics companies engage in a whole range of shady practices designed into tricking the consumer into buying their products and coming back for more. I will show you some of these unethical practices so you can spot them, and I’ll show you what actually works.

Ok, the first thing to watch out for is the water scam. Whats the cheapest filler available to add weight to a lotion, cream, or anti aging product? Water of course! If the first ingredient on your cosmetic or anti aging product says aqua or water, stay far away. This is watered down crap that will not help with wrinkles in the least little bit.

Clinical studies indicate that free radicals contribute to age-related illnesses and to the aging process itself. Antioxidants can play a vital role by helping to reduce, neutralize and eliminate the production of free radicals.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the skin’s most important components for hydration and moisture retention. The nature of HA’s molecular structure makes it ideal for attracting and holding water. Nearly 50% of the body’s HA is found in the dermis, in the spaces between cells (extracellular matrix). HA along with derma tan sulfate, serves to maintain the water balance in the dermis and adds support for other dermal elements like collagen and elastin.
