Examples of Effective Products
You might be overwhelmed with all the information out there, which will usually make it hard for you to choose the best products. Therefore, it may be beneficial to you to get an idea of what is out there.
Keep in mind though as you read this information that this is not an endorsement for any one specific product. It is just a point of reference that will help you gain more knowledge of the products that are out there.
- Moisturizers Brands such as Proactiv or Aubrey Organics seem to be very popular today. It seems that these products have received above average ratings by at least half or more of users. Of course, these are not the only ones that are available. Furthermore, other select products (i.e. Denise Austin or Radiance) are not only designed for moisturizing purposes but are also intended for use as effective anti-wrinkle aids. However, you might need to make sure they are made with non-allergenic ingredients.
- Shampoos Dove now makes a shampoo that contains green tea. However, if you prefer a less mainstream alternative perhaps you might consider a product made by Back to Basics or Solay. There are quite a few other brand names out there though that have varying benefits and each one is made in its own way, very unique formulas. Shampoos gentle enough for children that contain green tea are also available.
- Soaps and Cleansers You can find a variety of body cleansers and bar soaps that contain green tea substances. The best formulas are those that will not leave a greasy or sticky film on your arms, legs, or other sections of your body. Beware that many products contain questionable substances such as Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, blue and yellow dyes, and so on. Your best choice would be one that is as all natural as possible.
- Sunscreens It may seem like there are so many of these types of products that they are a "dime a dozen". Go for the ones that have less harsh ingredients, and that contain 100% organic green tea if possible. An average of 15 to 30 SPF that protects from all types of harmful UV rays would be your best choice. You can find products that are meant for specifically for either the face (i.e. the lips) or the body.
If you are reading this and are not convinced the brands or products suggested are meant for you; then you are justified in seeking further advice. Many people are concerned about the ingredients that are contained in the green tea products they purchase.
Your best way to evaluate is to just learn more about what is in each product by looking at the label. Regarding this, the rule of thumb is usually the more ingredients you can pronounce the better.
