Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Mary Thinnes. I'm a skin care expert. I'm going to discuss with you what ingredients to look for in quality result oriented products. And those ingredients that you want to avoid. One of the ingredients as I mentioned before for mature skin that's great is that Hyaluronic acid. And with Hyaluronic acid as I showed you before, is a substance that actually is, our body is made up of Hyaluronic acid . So not only is it comparable to what's in our body already as well. Hyaluronic acid is a moisturizing agent. So it's going to help plump the skin. It helps hydrate. So it's actually great for all skin types. And for that matter, even acned skin is not going to, you know, it's not going to aggravate their skin and cause more break outs. It's going to hydrate the skin and balance out the skin's moisture in a proper balanced way. And then also ingredients. If you can find a cleanser. There are cleansing gels out there on the market that don't have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in it. As I'd mentioned before, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a setting agent that is used pretty much all cleansers. There are some product lines that don't use the Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. For that fact that, like I mentioned before, is a drying agent. And so in that sense it is an irritant as well. So in mature skin, it might cause mature skin there, show more signs of aging in that sense. That being said, also for normal skin acned skin, you want to look for products that are non-comedogenic. Non-comedogenic means comedone is actually a break out or actually is clogged pores. So it has to be non-comedogenic because it will actually cause them, or have more break outs or more of those black heads that you see that are unsightly on the skin. So that being said those are the ingredients you want to look for in quality result oriented products. And some of the ones you want to avoid."
