Human skin is not supposed to be dry. Yet despite this biochemical fact, billions of consumer dollars are spent every year on product that are supposed to moisturize the skin.
As someone who has been formulating skin care products a skin products for over 25 years, I can tell you there is no possible way a topically applied product, which is typically composed of water, oil, wax and some miscellaneous chemicals, can cause any changes in skin moisture content. Miniaturization is strictly the job of nutrients that are found in foods and supplements.
If you have dry skin, you’re better off spending your hard-earned dollars on Essential Fatty Acids, Vitamin A and Vitamin C instead of topical skin care products. You’ll be helping improve your skin’s condition the way nature nature intended you to and you’ll get the additional benefits that come along with strategic nutritional supplementation.
Ben, I am curious about the tangy tangerine. Most of the powdered supplements are made with aspartic acid. I can’t find the ingredient list. When I looked up that acid it said that it is what aspartaine is made out of. That can’t be a good thing. Is that in your product? I wish I could see the ingredient list on the products. I have a severe allergy to buckwheat, so I am always checking labels. Thank you
Aspartic acid is an important biochemical nutrient. It’s involved in numerous functions in the body especially those that involve energy production. It’s particularly important for brain and hormone health. And, there’s no buckwheat in the BTT. All ingredients are listed on each bottle and on the Youngevity website. I hope that helps…
