Ingredients that Will Not be in the Best Facial Cleansers.

            I am sure we have all read about what ingredients are the best for your skin. People always try to play up the good side to make the consumers feel like their cleanser is the best facial cleansers around, but what they don't tell you might surprise you. While every company is talking about the good, how about the not so good and the harmful that they might be using. So to be sure that the so called best facial cleanseryou are using is actually what it says to be, check the ingredients.

            One of the most popular ingredients that are used in many of the top facial cleansers out in the market is an ingredient by the name of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and its relative Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES). Used as a foaming agent in our facial cleansers, these ingredients are cheap to use and are really good at what they are meant to do. But, what every one doesn't know is that SLS and SLES are known carcinogenic. This is due to the fact that these chemical additives are commonly contaminated with dioxane which can eventually turn into cancerous cells. Also these additives, included in some of the best facial cleansers, are used as ingredients in garage floor cleaners and degreasers. Do you really want to think you are buying the best facial cleanser out in the market and then find out that what you have been applying to your face, you can use on your car. It is just a crazy thought.

            Another popular ingredient used in some of the best facial cleansersand also moisturizers is mineral oil. Said to be extremely moisturizing for dry skin, this ingredients is actually a little too moisturizing, overwhelming your skin and clogging the natural oils that your skin produces. Clogging pores is the most common side effect of using mineral oil or having it as an ingredient in a skin care product. Also, skin irritation and rashes have been known to be the result of over exposure to mineral oil. So if mineral oil is an ingredient in your facial cleanser that you use on a daily basis, you might be doing more damage than good in your skin.

            These are just a few of the most popular, there are actually a good amount more that would take me days to write about, but the whole point of this article is for the consumers to realize that they should really do their research before they decide that what they are using is the best facial cleanser. So get out there and jump on the internet, do your research to find your information on facial cleanser ingredients and products. It may be the best decision you've ever made.
