Top 10 Worst Skin Products

By: Urbane Perspective

Your skin covers the largest area on your body and is the first line of defense against a host of diseases and external organisms that can cause these diseases. And good looking skin radiates health and is attractive to everyone. Therefore, taking care of your skin involves avoiding any type of products that can harm it and recently the use of organic skin products falls into the category of safe products. But taking a look at some of the worst products or things that be used on skin, or their effects can damage the skin, we find the following:

1. Cigarettes
Cigarette smoking can not only cause lung cancer but also greatly affects your skin. Smoking reduces the blood flow to your skin and results in dryness and wrinkles at an early age. Cutting down on cigarette smoking can reduce the damage done to your skin.

2. Alcohol
Alcohol is bad for your skin as it dehydrates it, leaving it dry and irritated. Heavy drinking can lead to swollen blood vessels causing red veins to appear on the skin. Reducing your weekly alcohol intake and increasing your vitamin C and water intake will greatly increase your skin health.

3. Tanning Booths
Instant tanning booths are a craze among teens and those seeking that bronzed look. Too much exposure to the sun’s rays is harmful to the skin and tanning beds are no better with overexposure leading to risk of serious skin burns. Apply good quality sun screen in the sun and avoid that tanning bed.

4. Sugar
Taking too much sugar affects the skin collagen repair function and makes the skin appear dull. Sodas, sweets and candy should be taken in moderation or supplemented with a product like L-glutamine which boosts your brain function without affecting your skin. If your sugar cravings are too high, think of replacing sugary foods with nuts.

5. The Wrong Skin Products
Knowledge is power and if you do not know your skin type, you are probably reducing your skin health. If your skin is oily, you should avoid dry skin products and if it’s dry, you should avoid products meant for oily skin.

6. Fatty Foods
A daily trip to the fast food establishment will lead to the build up of fat in your skin pores. This leads to pimples and in serious conditions even acne. Fat clogs your pores and does not allow them to breathe making it look tired. Avoid taking in too much processed foods.

7. Chemical Based Cosmetics
The use of cosmetics made from synthetic chemicals can lead to serious skin problems. The chemicals can also affect your health due to absorption to the blood stream. This is one thing that can be avoided by simply turning to organic skin products and organic body products.

8. Hair Products
Keep shampoos, shower gels and conditioners off your face. When washing your hair, make sure you keep these off your face as they contain harsh chemicals that can harm your skin.

9. Stress Inducing Products
If you have any product that causes stress to you, it could lead to poor skin health. Sometimes a warm bath would help in this but avoiding stress is essential for your skin health.

10. Soap
Soap can clean your body but one should avoid using it on their face. Your facial skin is very sensitive and some soap is harsh on it. Use facial cleansers, facial soaps, and moisturizers instead and your facial skin will thank you for it.

Dreamweaver in the new issue of LNE

This month’s Les Nouvelles Esthetiques & Spa magazine featured an assortment of eco-friendly skin and spa products. Sircuit’s Dreamweaver was prominently featured to protect, rejuvenate, and nourish the skin while you sleep. With Dreamweaver, say good bye to a dry complexion with an enticing blend of moisturizing herbs that will lavish your skin in first class moisture. Not new to the eco-friendly trend, Sircuit products use only the highest quality, all-natural ingredients available; thus making their products not only super concentrated but good for you (and your skin!).

In an effort to be as transparent as possible, Sircuit lists all of the active ingredients in their products both on the label and on their website. They have a special Sircuit Product Ingredient Glossary which identifies all the ingredients they use and provides a description of the ingredients. That way we know exactly what we are putting on our skin.

Sircuit gives you the facts. That’s why I trust them with my skin health!

My Secret Weapon... Sircuit Weapon

You know a product is good when you see instant results. Just the other day I purchased several Sircuit items. I was thrilled that the products came in the mail the very next day, as I had been anxious to get started. As soon as I came home, I did my normal Sircuit regiment of X-Trap and a mist of Molecular Mist; only this time I used Sircuit Weapon, the 10% vitamin C therapy serum, at the end. WOW. My skin instantly perked up, smoothed out and looked fabulous. The best part is the very next day my skin still looked incredible and energized. I cannot believe I have gone so long without this product. Sircuit Weapon is now my secret weapon.

Summer Is Over And So Is My Dull Skin

Last night I took a good look at my face. My skin looked like it had been kissed by the sun in a way only July and August could; my freckle count had increased significantly and they appeared to have run into each other. But my skin looked dull; it was missing the glow that well moisturized skin generates.

Ready to correct this problem, I quickly layered on Sircuit's Cool Lychee Wa and parked it in front of my TV to watch Jeopardy. My skin felt cool, it started to slightly tingle and the soft scent was refreshing. I kept the mask on for 15 minutes before rinsing it off, and I was blown away by the results. My skin was GLOWING. I couldn’t get over how soft it felt. How refreshed I looked. How much better I looked!

I used to think the lychee martini at Nic’s Martini Lounge was the best use of the lychee nut… but it doesn’t even come close to what Sircuit created with their Cool Lychee Wa.

Men…It’s about time to save FACE!

Let’s face it, the one thing that men need to do as we age is to take care of our face…and we don’t. We still use soap for our face, body and hair. And almost all men skip moisturizers. Men certainly have made their mark in the beauty industry but they still need some direction. Sircuit is here to break it down and simplify men’s daily routine. The question is, if Sircuit could choose one thing for men to use every day to help their skin look healthy and young, what would it be? Well, I found out first hand that it is Sircuit Addict! This is one addiction that men won’t need help getting rid of. Sircuit Addict is a powerful firming anti-oxidant serum that strengthens the skin so that it is better able to cope with environmental or lifestyle stress. And the best part, biopeptides provide long term nutritive, water retentive and wrinkle reducing benefits! No more excuses on why many of us look tired!
