Experts Prove Natural Products Are Best For Your Skin
Collaborative research by different departments of the Louisiana University has proven that skin care products that have the lowest levels of synthetic ingredients are best for your skin’s appearance in the long-term. Both dermatological and sociological departments of the university were involved in the research study, which sampled over 5000 people, over a period of 5 years.
The study aimed to determine which type of skin care products made people look more beautiful not only in the short term (1-10 weeks) but also the long term (1-5 years). A whole host of products were tested, including high street brands, those from small organic companies, health spa products, high end luxury products and even supermarket own-brands.The people taking part in the study were given one of a number of products to use for a period of five years, without knowing which one they had.They each had to meet up to have their photo taken every 7 days, which were later assessed by a group of impartial people.
There were some interesting findings from the study.Firstly, the skin care products that cost the most amount of money had the biggest impact on the improvement of looks over the short term period, i.e. after the participant had used the products on their skin for between 1 and 10 weeks.Secondly, those participants who had been given skin care products to use that had the lowest levels of synthetic ingredients, actually came out top on the improved attractiveness rating, when judged over the long term, i.e. between year 1 and year 5.
The head researcher of the study has said that the the results are what he expected, as the man-made ingredients, that gave the impression of improvement in the first place, are not what the skin is designed to deal with and so thus there were always going to be consequences somewhere down the line
Their advice is to always check the labels when you buy skin care products and make sure you know that the products used are high quality and natural when you go for any spa treatment .
