Are you looking to buy a skin care product for yourself any time soon? Do you want it to multitask in its work for your skin?

Do you want the next facial cream to soften and moisturize your skin, restore hydration and smoothness or increase your skins firmness?

Let’s take a look at some of the ingredients that multitask so well for you.

Cococin – You guessed it, this ingredient is obtained from the freeze-dried coconut water from young coconuts. Cococin can also be used as a moisturizer on your skin and can also be formulated in hair care products to provide nourishment to your hair follicles and for hair growth.

There are plenty of products on the market that contain coconut oil, coconut water or a combination of coconut with another ingredient that have always been used in black skin and hair care products

Saberry, an alma extract, is not only used as a skin lightening agent, but also has an antioxidant activity which helps you to provide protection against free radical induced by UV rays. Alma fruits have also been studied for the activity that helps reduce the breakdown of collagen in you skin thereby retarding the anti-aging factor.

Hyaluronic Acid – known for its firming a regenerating actions, hyaluronic acid is often used in skin care products for anti-aging in order to delay surgery. In body care products hyaluronic acids provide deep moisture and firming to your skin.

Products that multitask …

If you look at products as a whole, you will find sunscreens in makeup and moisturizers. That one product is multitasking. You’re getting the protection of a sunscreen in your foundation and your moisturizer all for the price of one product.

Not everyone likes this idea. In moisturizers, you may not always get the sun protection factor that you would want. For instance as an African American, your choice of moisturizer might give you an SPF 30 when you prefer an SPF 15.

Yes, the greater the number the higher the protection but your beautiful black skin contains melanin and that starts you off with an automatic SPF 15.

In black hair care products you’ll find jojoba oils and shea butters that moisturize and nourish your scalp.

Is it always good to have products that multitask? It all depends on what you want to achieve with the use of a product.

One thing to remember is that if you purchase a separate sunscreen and a separate moisturizer, you will often get a product that has greater consistency and benefits than one that’s been combined.

Depending on the manufacturer of the product you purchase, some ingredients are cut in terms of the percentage amount that’s added, thereby minimizing the affects of the outcome you seek.

Not all manufacturers cut their percentages, some actually enhance them.  If you know your brand, trust its product and you’re getting the results you want, then this company’s product works for you.

Some products are great at multitasking while others should be used for the one purpose it’s made for.
