Natural Ingredients That Must Be Present In A Good Collagen Firming Lotion

You should have correct idea about which product should be best collagen firming lotion, before buying any such product. Most of the products that are available in the market, even the famous brand name lotions are downright bad. Use of these products do not help the skin in any way and in many cases they are even harmful for the skin.

The production of really beneficial lotion for the skin requires natural ingredients which are very costly. But most of the companies, even the famous ones, spend very little money in the actual production of the skin care products. They are more interested in spending huge amount of money in advertisement of their products. Consequently, the ingredients used in their products are cheap, bad, poor quality and even harmful for the skin.

To save yourself from getting deceived by the glitzy advertisement of big companies, you must have some awareness about the ingredients needed to make good and effective collagen firming lotion.

Many companies, whose products are available in the market, mention collagen as one of the ingredients in their product’s label. But, scientific studies have proved that collagen molecules are too large to penetrate through the surface of the skin. So, even if they use collagen as an ingredient in their products, it will have zero impact on your skin.

As we age, the production of collagen in our body decreases slowly; hence, we need some product that will increase collagen production. Therefore, you have to select a lotion which contains those natural ingredients that are necessary for the production of collagen.

The following are some of the natural ingredients that increase collagen production -

Cynergy TK – it is extracted from the wool of sheep. Its Functional Keratin stimulates the production and regrowth of collagen.

Phytessence Wakame – it is Japanese kelp. It has the ability to inhibit the activity of hyaluronidase enzyme; hence, the damage caused by this enzyme, that is breaking down of hyaluronic acid, does not occur. As a result, this acid keeps together elastin and collagen.

Coenzyme Q10 – it is available in all of our body cells and essential for healthy skin. With advancement of age, its quantity goes down in our body, thus requiring outside insertion. But the coenzyme Q10 used as a dietary supplement has big molecules which cannot penetrate the surface of the skin. With the help of nano-technology its size has been reduced and it is known as Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10. This nano-emulsion can penetrate deep inside the skin. Therefore, only the presence of Coenzyme Q10 among the ingredients of a product is not enough, as it will fail to penetrate the skin. Hence, only where Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 is used it will be effective as it promotes collagen production and most effective in repairing free radical damage.

Active Manuka Honey – it also produces collagen.

Only those products where the above mentioned ingredients are present will be best collagen firming lotion and with their use your skin will become firm, flexible, soft and healthy.

The Perceived Value of Giving In Negotiations

Recently I stopped by a Walgreens drugstore. I was there to purchase a graduation card for my niece and some Mothers Day cards. I looked for the graduation cards and could not find them. So, I asked a clerk where the cards might be located. She informed me that they were in 3 boxes in the storeroom. I asked if she, or someone else, could bring them out of the storeroom so that I might make a purchase. She informed me that she could not do so at that time and suggested I come back in a few hours. I asked to speak with a manager and after speaking with the manager and making my request to purchase a card known, I was once again told, I would have to come back in a few hours. I looked around the store and observed that it was not busy. Some of the clerks appeared to be ideally standing around doing much of nothing.

I’m not suggesting all Walgreens drugstores typify this manor of behavior, but this one did. By chance there happened to be a CVS drugstore literally across the street from that particular Walgreens. So, I went across the street, purchased the graduation card for my niece, and also purchased the Mothers Day. I ended up spending about twenty dollars.

What negotiation lessens can we learn from this experience. There are several

  1. Always have an alternate source from which to get what you need
  2. Make anyone you negotiate with feel important (I had the impression that I was almost disturbing the clerks at Walgreens by wanting to make a purchase.)
  3. If you cant fulfill the request/requirements of someone you’re negotiating with, at least give the impression that you’re trying to do something to solve their problem (some hotel chains will book people in another hotel chains facilities when the first hotel does not have space. In so doing, they are sending a signal to that customer that says, the customers well being has a higher priority than just making money off of that customer).

When negotiating, give as much as you can to appease and ingratiate yourself with the person you’re negotiating with. By doing so, you give the perception that you care. In return, the fair minded person will give as much as they can give to you and in the end, both of you will have practiced, what I call, the win/win style of negotiating.
