Step into a skincare aisle, and you are bombarded with products from a fantasy world. Yet, no secret lies with the right product except its ingredients. Decoding the labels can be overwhelming, but once you know what to look for and what to avoid, you will possess power in making the right decisions for your skin. Let's get into mastering the art of how you could easily decode labels while Bentica simplifies it for you.
What to Look for on Skincare Labels
1. Hydration Heroes
Hyaluronic Acid: Humectant drawing water toward and trapping it inside the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated.
Glycerin: Plant-derived hydrator that locks in moisture without leaving an oily residue.
2. Brightening Stars
Vitamin C: Powerful antioxidant which works to brighten the skin and reduce dark spots.
Niacinamide: This multi tasker minimizes pores, evens skin tone, and strengthens your skin barrier.
3. Gentle Exfoliants
AHAs (e.g., Glycolic Acid): Ideal for removing dead skin cells to reveal a smoother complexion.
BHAs (e.g., Salicylic Acid): Perfect for acne-prone skin as it unclogs pores and reduces inflammation.
4. Soothing Agents
Centella Asiatica(Cica): Known for calming redness and irritation.
Aloe Vera: A natural hydrator that soothes and heals the skin.
Ingredients to Avoid
1. Parabens
Preservatives, parabens interfere with hormones and can be irritating to sensitive skin. Look for "paraben-free" products.
2. Sulfates
Sulfates are a common ingredient in cleansers that strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness.
3. Artificial Fragrances
They smell wonderful, but synthetic fragrances can cause irritation and allergic reactions. Opt for fragrance-free or naturally scented products.
4. Mineral Oil
Mineral oil is one of the dirtiest moisturizers- one that will keep clogging your pores and causing breakouts more than once.
5. Alcohols
Not all alcohol is bad, but avoid drying alcohols like denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, these will suck the moisture right out of your skin.
How to Read Skincare Labels
Ingredients are listed in descending order: The first few ingredients form the bulk of the formula. Prioritize products where beneficial ingredients appear early on.
Look for Active Percentages: A good label will list the concentration of key actives like Vitamin C or Retinol.
Certification Symbols: Look for cruelty-free, vegan, and dermatologically tested certifications.
