Preface

The One Constant Is Change

One of the most incredible aspects of the cosmetics industry, especially surrounding skincare products, is how rapidly the technology and our understanding of the physiology and biology of skin has changed and evolved. Over the past 30 years, we have been amazed by how the research and serious investigations into how skin functions have shed new light on the best possible ways to take care of skin. We have watched with awe and respect as new ingredients, new combinations of ingredients, and the promising hopes of new scientific discoveries have transformed what cosmetics products can do.

In our constant quest to seek out new data and studies on skin and skincare, we use those findings to update our Expert Advice articles and Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary. We want to emphasize our steadfast use of research-based information because we know how easy it is to be lured in by a new miracle product or by an ingredient that the cosmetics industry serves up as the next best thing. Unfortunately, succumbing to such seductions can be detrimental for your skin. We’ve seen fad ingredients come and go, some that linger longer than others and some that just won’t go away despite their negative effects on skin.

Cutting through the hype and finding out exactly what the growing scientific and professional communities and substantiated studies have to say about skin and skincare can play a major role in getting you the best skin of your life. We have been providing that information for 30 years and are devoted to continuing to do so. After you’ve read this book, you can continue to stay up-to-date on the latest research and what does (and doesn’t) work for skin by visiting us at BeautyMythBusters.com. We are committed to helping you have the best skin of your life now, in the future, and every step along the way!
