SKIN CARE: ANTI-AGEING CREAMS
Most of the so-called anti-ageing creams available have no proven scientific benefit and are merely expensive variations on standard moisturizing creams. There are only two types of products available which have true anti-ageing qualities, namely sunscreens and Retin-A. Tighter government regulations have meant that cosmetic companies are no longer able to claim that their products are ‘anti-ageing’ unless they can prove this. In order to comply with these restrictions, some cosmetic companies are now incorporating sunscreens into all their products, even night creams. These sunscreens may cause severe contact dermatitis. Consumers are now being asked to spend 50 100 dollars or more for an elegantly packaged sunscreen. Furthermore, the sunscreens added to cosmetic creams are generally ultraviolet B-blocking agents such as cinnamate, which are in fact inferior to the regular broad spectrum SPF 15 sunscreens, especially those containing titanium dioxide.
