Why would you want to buy a celebrity skin care product? The ones that they endorse are not typically the ones that they use. Are you thinking that they look so good because of the products they use?

The truth is that it is lighting and heavy make-up, as well as cosmetic surgery that make their faces flawless. Once the make-up is removed, pimples and irritation are revealed. There is also inflammation, as well, so often they look worse than we do without their special lighting and cosmetics. Have you never seen the pictures on the grocery store tabloids? Why did you think they looked so terrible?

A celebrity skin care product will cost more, but not because of the quality ingredients. The celebrities do not manufacture those creams and lotions. Some company some where is paying them a lot of money for the use of their name. Then, there are the advertising bills. It would be surprising if there were any active ingredients in a celebrity skin care product.

The whole thing should be avoided. Designer names are another way that a mediocre cosmetic company gets their products to move. Fashion designers do not do research and development involving effective nourishing healthy solutions for your skin-cells. They are merely allowing the use of their name because a fee has been paid to them.

Instead of a celebrity skin care product, you might want to look for one that is actually good for your skin. One that has research to support their claims. One that contains all natural ingredients, instead of chemicals, purified water, fragrances, alcohols and other irritating substances.

One celebrity skin care product that we know of contains dioxane, the substance is classified as a carcinogen in California. That means it causes cancer.

Another one contains TEA (triethanolamine) which is restricted throughout Europe because it has known carcinogenic effects. That’s a fancy way of saying, it causes cancer.

Several of them contain padimate-o, another cancer causer. So, you might start to thing of a celebrity skin care product as an increased risk of cancer. No matter what the label says, research before you buy. Never order anything off of home shopping network or QVC. There is no way to know what these products contain.

There are really good products from New Zealand that contain nutrients that protect the health and repair damage done to your skin-cells. New Zealand has some of the strictest manufacturing regulations in the world. One company in particular refuses to use anything in their creams and lotions that are not "safe enough to eat". It is simply their company philosophy.

Thanks to the internet, you don’t have to travel all the way around the world to purchase them and you can buy direct, so you end up spending less, for better quality ingredients. It may not be a celebrity skin care product, but it could make you look like one. It is certainly worth a try.
