Youtube is such a boon for learners like me. I keep on watching videos of dermatologists, Aestheticians and skincare experts like Susan Yara, James Welsh and Hyram to increase my knowledge about skincare in general There is so much to the subject and everyday I am learning something new. One of the basic things that I have learned from the videos and through my personal experience as a beauty blogger, is we should know the ingredients that our skin care products are made with. For that we need to know the ingredient names or the common terms that they are mentioned as in the ingredient list. Today I am going to share with you some of the popular ingredients that we find in our beauty products, in an alphabetical order.
Enzymes: One of the most popular ingredients used nowadays for result-oriented skincare is Enzymes. The popular Enzyme based products are Tatcha Rice Polish Enzyme Powder and By Wishtrend Green Tea Enzyme Powder.
Hyaluronic Acid: Another very popular and effective ingredient in skincare is Hyaluronic acid. It is the ingredient that hydrates skin, makes skin youthful and plump. Some popular skincare products with Hyaluronic acid are It's Skin Hyaluronic acid cream and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Capsule in Serum.
Keratin: It is the main protein present in our skin and is the building source of hair, nails and the surface layer of our skin. Keratin is mostly used in haircare products and the most popular ones are Tresemme Keratin Smooth Range and Kerastase Keratin Thermique.
So here are the First 13 ingredients from A to M, that you can find in your skincare items. The next part will have all the ingredients from N to Z.
Which is the one ingredient among these that is most suitable for you? Personally I feel Hyaluronic acid and Lactic acid are amazing for my skin.
