Firming Body Wash: Money Down the Drain?

I had to chuckle. With all the antiaging skin care products on the market it was only a matter of time before a firming body wash would make its appearance on the cosmetic marketing stage. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for using a product that can help firm and tighten your skin. But when it comes to a firming body wash, is it money down the drain?

Think about it. The purpose of a bath or shower is to cleanse your body of dirt, grime and, whether you realize it or not, toxins that have been secreted through your pores. Its important to use a cleanser that effectively removes all this waste from your skin.

A firming body wash, however, has a different agenda. Instead of cleansing your skin, its main purpose is to help your skin achieve a more youthful, firm condition. But how can you achieve this result when the body wash doesn't stay on your skin long enough to do anything? It just gets rinsed off and goes down the drain.

In my way of thinking, its only after your skin has been properly cleansed that it is ready to receive a truly effective antiaging product, like a natural body firming cream. This way you kill two birds with one stone. You clean skin is moisturized while absorbing active, natural ingredients that stimulate your skin's natural ability to treat and repair itself.

Unlike a firming body wash, a natural body firming cream enters and remains in your skin cells to stimulate the production of collagen and elastins. When it comes to firming and tightening your skin, these substances are your two most important friends. Let me explain.

As you age, the production of collagen and elastin slows down, resulting in sagging and bagging of the skin. That’s why a truly skin firming product will, ideally, create results that come from the inside out.

There are two other causes of skin aging that a firming body wash can't address: lower levels of hyaluronic acid and increased levels of free radicals.

An effective natural body firming cream can help to increase your levels of HA and go to work to gobble up harmful free radicals.

When you have all three of the skin-aging bases covered, you begin to turn back the clock on your appearance. Here’s how:

First Base: Stimulate collagen and elastin production with a firming cream that contains supportive substances like Cynergy TK, a bio-active form of keratin. Our bodies product this protein which has an important structural role in the skin.

Second Base: Stop the breakdown of hyaluronic acid by inhibiting the harmful enzyme, hyaluronidase. Look for a natural body firming cream that contains powerful antioxidants like Phytessense Wakame. This powerful antiaging substance is derived from a special Japanese sea kelp, which Japanese women have been using for centuries.

Third Base: Destroy skin-damaging free radicals with another powerful antixoidant called Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10, a special nano-emulsion form of CoEnzyme Q10. Stopping the damage caused by free radicals can result in quite a dramatic anti-wrinkle effect.

Another great thing about a natural body firming cream that you won't get from a firming body wash are the superb moisturizing effects. Rich, natural oils and emollients like macadamia nut and avocado oils, Shea Butter, maracuja, and babbasu lock in natural moisture while soothing irritation and inflammation.

So by this time I'm sure you've figured out that I believe a firming body wash is, pretty much, a waste of your money. Why spend your hard-earned cash on a product that is just going to go down the drain? There are excellent alternatives available that make more sense and achieve the results you're looking for.
