The skin care market is flooded with exotic ingredients...

What skin care ingredients should I avoid?

Every time i read about skin care products i hear i should be avoiding one ingredient or another. There are soooo many ingredients in skin products so which ones are best to stay away from?

The skin care market is flooded with exotic ingredients that don't deliver promised results. Ingredients such as pearl dust and caviar, I would recommend wearing the first and eating the second, but avoid putting it on your face.
