Which is the Better Deal – Store Brand Moisturizers or Premier Brands?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 10, 2009 -- Many people would like to know what the true difference is in the value between a low cost store brand of facial moisturizer and the more pricey upscale brands. Is it really more cost effective to purchase low-cost moisturizers? Anyone can go to the drug store today and purchase 2.5 ounces of unbranded moisturizer for approximately $7. The more upscale brands will be approximately $45 or more for the same amount. Is there value in purchasing the more expensive brands?

Begin by looking at the quality of the product. Many top brands are produced in small batches with all natural ingredients to preserve the integrity of the ingredients. Many experts, including nutritionists agree that whatever is put on the skin gets absorbed into the body's system, much like food that is eaten. Therefore, putting good quality all natural products on the skin, which is the largest organ, just makes sense.

The lower cost moisturizers have preservative s that allow the product to stay on the store shelves for up to 2 years or more. The controversy with how many preservatives we eat on a daily basis is ongoing, suggesting that we are loading our bodies with toxins on a daily basis. The preservatives that are in the lower cost moisturizers are being absorbed through the skin and are being deposited in the body the same way the preservatives that are ingested.

Many of the higher quality brands of moisturizers are highly concentrated. A dab approximately half the size of a dime is all that is needed to cover the entire facial area. This means that a 2.5 ounce jar of moisturizer of the highly concentrated variety will last approximately 4 to 5 times longer than the lower cost moisturizer.

Where is the true value then? A higher quality moisturizer that is concentrated and is made from all natural ingredients is by far the best choice for overall healthy skin care. The overall cost is comparable. However, the real value is in the advantage of feeding the skin healthy products, which means additional toxins will not be deposited into the body that must later be flushed out.
