The next time you visit the skincare aisle at your pharmacy, spend a moment and look at the many choices that greet you on these shelves. Many of these products offer “complete” skincare in a single bottle.
If you are not a savvy, educated user of skincare products, you might say to yourself, “why not?” You might choose your product based upon:
- Your notion that it is only one product and less expensive than other brands.
- Or you may take the recommendation of a glamourous movie actress whose knowledge of skin science might be suspect.
- Finally, you may choose based on your “best” guess, thinking: “it’s just a lotion, and a lotion is a lotion. I’ll base my decision on which is cheaper.….”
So you based your decision on:-
- One product, many benefits
- Celebrity endorsement
- Price comparison
I believe that there is no magical single skincare “Panacea” product available today that can meet the nutritional needs to bring skin to optimal health and natural beauty. Just as there is not a miraculous pill one can take to get physically fit, nor a single food one could eat to fulfill a complete, balanced diet.
Similarly, our largest body organ, the skin, is very complex. There are many layers to the skin and multiple “systems” in these layers, each with its’ own unique nutritional requirements.
- The cellular needs of the outer epidermis are far different in structure, function, and nutritional needs when contrasted to the deeper dermal layer cells.
- The middle-layered Stratum Corneum is responsible for being the barrier layer and has its own set of moisturization and nutritional requirements.
- Furthermore, penetration of a cream or lotion into the deeper dermal layers can be problematic, compounding the formulation constraints of products.
For this reason, I suggest that one should not just rely on a single bottle of lotion to supply all the needed ingredients to the skin.
This is the logic behind a Comprehensive Skin Care System of products. The combined effects of using several products synergistically allow one to meet the needs of the complexities involved in creating healthy skin.
Here’ busting your other myth: There is a product available that can rejuvenate one’s skin upon a few applications.
Unfortunately, this also misleads the consumer to seek quick fixes through the skin “cover-up” instead of improving their appearance by restoring their skin’s health.
To date, obtaining true skin health requires time and consistency. Providing the skin with essential nutrients demands faithful daily application to realize one’s potential for skin rejuvenation. Therefore, improvement in skin health is usually measured as a “work in progress.”
The correct attitude is that proper skincare should be viewed as a daily habit. Honestly, taking a few minutes each day, and using effective products to promote healthy skin, is not a far reach when one considers the problems that can occur by doing nothing. Properly creating optimal skin health should be a goal for anyone genuinely concerned about improving their overall skin health.
So, the next time you visit the skincare aisle, you have a better understanding that all lotions are not equal in their ability to improve skin health.
If providing health to your skin is your goal, might I suggest that you find a Comprehensive Skin Care System that addresses the many complexities of the ingredient needs for different layers of the skin? An excellent example of this is the OrangeDaily Vitamin C Skin Care System.
Used daily and in the proper sequence, these products deliver the essential elements found in botanicals, vitamins, emollients, humectants, and most importantly, efficacious Vitamin C to provide the skin with the necessary ingredients to promote optimal skin health and natural beauty.
OrangeDaily was created by the world-renown master formulator, Dr. Ron DiSalvo, towards the end of his brilliant career. These products are sourced from the most efficacious ingredients and formulated under stringent Made-In-The-USA guidelines. By correctly following this system, ingredients are introduced at appropriate times to specific layers of the skin that benefit from these nutrients. The pleasant feel that these products initially create are forerunners for the positive outcomes of continued daily application.
Maybe a time will eventually come when a single bottle can provide the skin with proper nutrition and restore health. And mind you, the price for actual efficacy may be heavy on your pocket, too.
Until then, it’s okay to question what you are actually putting on your skin to provide it with its’ many unique nutritional needs. By using a comprehensive skincare system, such as OrangeDaily, you will discover the difference in true quality skincare.
