Face cream Hydra-Filler, Filorga

Despite the oily texture, the cream is quickly absorbed without leaving a sticky film. The tool moisturizes well, evens out the tone, does not cause redness and improves complexion. Can be used directly - apply only to dry places. The cream is very rich and good composition: revidrate - the latest generation of moisturizing complexes, myristil phospho-malate - increases the activity of enzymes that promote the renewal of the epidermis, soleros extract - stimulates the synthesis of lipids in the stratum corneum.

Price: 3 410 rub.

Face cream Génifique Nutrics, Lancôme

In winter, due to dry air and temperature changes, the skin needs special care, nutrition and hydration. When dehydrated, it quickly loses its elasticity, fine wrinkles become noticeable, peeling begins. I solve these problems with Lancome's Génifique Nutrics - the perfect winter option. They can be used in the morning and evening.

The consistency is thick, but the cream is quickly absorbed. If you have oily skin, apply it at night - during the day it can provoke shine.

The packaging of Génifique Nutrics says "youth activator". However, there are no age restrictions - it is suitable for both young and aging skin.

Deep Repair Balm, Teoxane

Good alternative to night cream. The balm is suitable for all skin types without age restrictions. I especially recommend paying attention to it in case of hypersensitivity, peeling and after aesthetic procedures (laser, injections) - it helps to recover better and faster after exposure. Ingredients: hyaluronic acid, anti-inflammatory arnica extract and helichrysum extract, which fights hematomas.

With regular use, the cream will even out complexion and reduce age spots. The tool can be used from 12 years.

Corrective balm Derma Blemish Balm, Cell Fusion C

I recommend this product of the Korean brand Cell Fusion C to clients after invasive cosmetic procedures: biorevitalization, mesotherapy and others.

The balm will help out if you have sensitive skin with irritations - it will relieve redness and inflammation and protect against pigmentation (there is arbutin in the composition for this).

Cream Kiwicha Night Cream, Klapp

The German brand was founded by naturopathic physician Gerhard Klapp in 1980. One of the brand's innovations is ASA Peel peeling with five fruit acids in the composition, developed in the mid-80s and patented by the Klapp group of companies. Dr. Klapp was one of the first to use vitamins A and C in cosmetics.

The basis of this cream is amaranth oil, which grows in South America and was actively used by the Incas (hence the name of the series of products - "Kiwicha"). The oil contains vitamins A, D, B1, B2, which penetrate deep into the epidermis due to squalene (conductor component), moisturize and nourish the skin. The cream is very light, not felt after application. The composition of plant components (in addition to amaranth oil, there are peanut oils, jojoba, rosemary leaf extract, aloe vera), no gluten, mineral and silicone oils, synthetic fragrances and dyes.

Price: 4100 rubles.

Rose Infusion Night Cream, Académie Scientifique de Beauté

The oldest European brand was created by Dr. Alexander Lamotte in 1980. An important fact: since 1936, the brand has been creating creams with collagen in the composition, on average, each Académie Scientifique de Beauté product contains 30 natural ingredients.

In the Pink Infusion cream, it is Provence rose oil, cypress essential oil, mimosa wax, jojoba, shea and macadamia oils, French peach extract. Oils strengthen the skin and create a film that protects the skin from moisture loss.

Night renewing cream Perfect Skin Refiner, Teoxane

I recommend this product to clients with pigmentation. It brightens the skin, reduces pores and gives the face a healthy glow. The composition contains glycolic (about 10%), hyaluronic acid and the Novhyal® G component (Teoxane patent) - a precursor of hyaluronic acid that strengthens the epidermis and dermis and accelerates metabolic processes. After the release of the cream, Teoxane conducted a test on 24 volunteers who used the product for 15 days, after which cosmetologists and they themselves diagnosed the visible skin improvements that I described above.

Cream Phytocell Arganight Cream, Cholley

The cream is good for dry and very dry skin, but it is suitable if emergency moisturizing is needed (after a vacation at sea, for example). Apply it on the face with massage movements and “driving in” with your fingers in the neck and décolleté area. The IC-RAMP technology patented by the Swiss brand is based on the ability of the skin to regenerate at the intercellular level (this is how the skin heals after a cut, for example).

Cholley products stimulate the production of fibroblasts that produce extracellular matrix: collagen and elastane. The main component of the cream is an extract of argan tree stem cells. Since this plant is an endangered species and is under the protection of UNESCO, a patented technology is used to extract stem cells from small parts of argan. Other active ingredients that stimulate skin renewal are crocus bulb and wormwood extracts.

Night cream Predermine Sculpting Night Cream, Darphin

By consistency, it is dense, like frozen butter, which is appropriate and logical for the night - unlike other times of the day, at night we are not in a hurry and do not activate facial expressions, which means that it is easier for a dense agent to absorb properly and do its job.

The anti-aging cream is too early for me. Its main action is modeling. Elasticity, stimulation of collagen production, lifting and all that (although it attacks mimic wrinkles, and I have a million of them, like Chatsky’s torment).

The composition is 84% ​​natural, the main players in it are the extract of trifoli leaves, tuberose and Florentine iris root. To me, not a chemist or a dermatologist, these beautiful words they don't say anything, but the promise from the press release to "immediately increase skin density" is really no joke. After application and a light massage with a special spatula, you really get the feeling that you put a corset on your face - it seems to be all cheered up and tightened. I don't even want to sleep anymore.

At the same time, unlike many anti-age products, the cream does not tighten the skin, on the contrary, it nourishes it well due to the fact that, in addition to the listed magical semi-flowers, there is also vitamin E in the composition.

Like all Darphin products, the cream smells great and, in general, solid endorphins from its use - a massage with a beautiful spatula, an “expensive” consistency (dense, but not vaseline), a girly pink jar. The shoulder blade, by the way, is really an effective thing, or rather, the massage that it provides. The brand has been practicing special modeling massage techniques throughout its history, that is, for almost 60 years. In Europe, women sit on Darphin for years (go to any Parisian pharmacy and you will definitely see a light green stand), but in general the brand is represented in 45 countries.

If you have something to model or it's time to take care of the prevention of this issue, if your skin is prone to dryness, and also if you like dense textures and ritualistic care, you can take Predermine in pencil. Although I don’t need a lift yet, I still use my jar, because the nutrition and restorative effect is also great.

Price: about 7,500 rubles.

Creams Moisture Surge and Dramatically Different, Clinique

These two products I call the real saviors of my dry skin. I use Dramatically Different (greater in texture) most often in the winter, and the lighter Moisture Surge in the summer or as a base for makeup.

Dramatically Different is a soft yellow gel that looks oily when applied to the skin, although no oils are found in the composition. Works on "5+" - copes with peeling and perfectly nourishes the skin. Very often I apply it with a greasy layer as a night mask: it is absorbed in 20 minutes, so you can not be afraid to stain the pillow. Contains sodium hyaluronate and glycerin for intense hydration. Skin is strengthened with sunflower seed oil, barley and cucumber extracts in the formula.

Moisture Surge is an excellent choice for skin hydration. It contains aloe water, which restores the skin's moisture barrier, and vitamins C, E and green tea provide a powerful antioxidant effect. It is absorbed in the first two minutes - after 15-20 you can already apply foundation.

Price for Moisture Surge Cream: 1 359 rubles. Price for Dramatically Different Cream: 2,000 rubles.

Serum Hydra Boost Serum, Elemis

The gel serum of the legendary English brand is absorbed instantly. I put it on in the morning before moisturizer. After a couple of days, I noticed that the skin became healthier and denser: for this I fell in love with this remedy. Contains nere seed extract to help skin retain moisture. Oils of bergamot, sweet orange, mandarin nourish and soften it.

Price: 4 077 rub.

Cream Rose Facial Cream, Ausganica

The texture of this cream resembles whipped cream - soft and airy. Absorbed in a minute and perfectly moisturized the skin. Rich in a complex of nourishing ingredients - an extract of olive leaves, rose hips, hibiscus, roses and beaks. Smells like a rose. If using in the morning, blot with a tissue before applying foundation.

Price: 4 970 rubles.

Face cream Crème Riche Hydrante, Eisenberg

My main problem is that the skin around the eyes and in the nose area is flaky, and especially in winter. This tool has been helping me out for more than a year - when the problem is activated with renewed vigor, I first use it for two days in the morning and evening, and then once a day (usually in the morning). The cream envelops the skin - for moisturizing and nourishing it contains hyaluronic acid, vitamins A and E, evening primrose and macadamia oils, essential oils of lemon and orange. I love that it is not greasy in texture and after it you can start makeup - just wait 5-7 minutes until the balm is absorbed. It copes with peeling perfectly, and the skin looks hydrated and nourished. I put it on my lips instead of a balm - a great idea if you plan on matte lipstick for the whole day.

Price: 5 749 rub.

Face cream Regenera II, Valmont

The soft yellow cream is very oily and rich in texture - I immediately got the feeling that it would nourish the skin to the fullest, and my instinct did not let me down. The main thing is not to apply too much before going out: one pea of ​​cream is enough for the whole face (otherwise it will shine a lot, which is not very comfortable). But you can forget about applying makeup immediately after - I recommend waiting at least an hour. I love using it before running in the park in winter. It protects perfectly from frost, and the skin is incredibly soft and velvety to the touch after an hour and a half after application (when the product is definitely absorbed) (even if there were peeling before). By the way, the manufacturer advises to warm the product in your hands before use - I tried it - and then distributed it on the skin with massage movements.

At night I use it as a mask - I apply a little more than in the morning (two or three peas on the whole face), keep it for 30-40 minutes, after which I remove the remnants with a napkin. Despite the fact that my skin is young and it’s too early for me to think about anti-aging care, I still liked the cream - dry skin is especially prone to the early manifestation of wrinkles, and the product prevents these processes. I drew attention to the interesting composition of the formula: triple DNA, RNA and Peptides +

Price: RUB 16,245

Face cream Argan Nourishing Cream Skinovage PX, Babor

A special plus means - suitable for any type of skin. This cream revived my dry (and even too much after the Moscow cold weather!) in a couple of days. I recommend applying in the morning before going out, when makeup is needed only in the evening. All day long, the product will nourish the skin and protect it from the cold. The texture of this gel peach color not too oily, but not light either.

As part of argan oil, macadamia nut, shea butter, avocado, mango, pomegranate seed extract (optimizes the distribution of moisture within the skin), as well as alpine stem cells to prevent premature aging. I like that the product relieves the feeling of tightness and perfectly moisturizes.

Price: 4990 rubles.

Nourishing vitamin cream Renight, Comfort Zone

I have dry skin, and in winter it completely turns into the Sahara desert. Therefore, I cannot do without night care in order to somehow reanimate the skin after a day in the cold and wind. Renight cream contains 88% natural ingredients, including such fighters for skin restoration as shea butter, goji berries, macadamia, jojoba and vitamin E.

I apply the cream at night, after cleansing the skin with tonic. During the night, it nourishes the skin well, and in the morning it looks supple and toned! I think this is the merit of hyaluronic acid in the composition

Price: about 4,000 rubles.

Protective soothing face cream Pur Confort, Guinot

During the cold period, any skin becomes sensitive, so gentle and soothing care will not be superfluous. Cream from Guinot is ideal for young ladies who, leaving the house, immediately become the heroines of the fairy tale "Morozko". When applied, there is a feeling that a light veil falls on the face, but the cream is absorbed very quickly: you will not have time to finish your coffee before you can apply foundation. Any, even the most capricious tone will lie flat (I checked!).

But it is better to use the product during the day - it will not be enough for night protection. A big bonus is the SPF in the composition, which is also needed in winter.

Price: 750 rubles.

Face cream Eau Thermale Light Water Cream SPF20, Uriage

My find - light cream water-based from Uriage. I use it in the morning - it's light and does a great job as a make-up base. The main component of the cream is thermal water. Moisturizing for the whole day is enough. Doesn't clog pores.

Price: 1035 rub.

Nourishing cream 24 hours Crème Nutrisysteme 24 H, Methode Cholley

When my skin needs extra nourishment, this cream from the Swiss brand comes to the rescue. It has a soft texture that is quickly absorbed and does not leave a greasy film. And the skin feels nourished all day long. Bonus - a composition that is rich in vitamins and chamomile extract. With regular use, the skin becomes more elastic and firm.

Price: 6 600 rubles.

Cream-nutrition for the face "Pot of honey", Organic Kitchen

I dearly love budget funds. Find good cosmetics among the available brands is my hobby. This cream is one of the best finds in recent times. I use it at night when I need "heavy artillery" to moisturize and nourish the skin after several layers of decorative cosmetics. Contains natural ingredients. The main one is organic honey, which is responsible for deep hydration. Be careful - the product is absorbed for a long time. If you apply it before makeup, it instantly rolls up.

Price: 55 rub.

Moisturizing face cream Ultra Facial Cream, Kiehl's

Back in 1851, the Dutchman John Keel opened a pharmacy in New York and installed a skeleton in it to explain to the client the structure of the human body and the purpose of drugs. Now about 800 of these skeletons meet customers in Kiehl's stores around the world. The brand gained unprecedented popularity, and even the mayor of New York proclaimed November 12 as Brand Day (by the way, now Kiehl’s in Russia is having a class).

It is not surprising that over such a long history, the brand has many bestsellers, one of which is the Ultra Facial cream. After the first application, I understood why so many people love it - it is an absolutely standard and very high-quality moisturizer for the face. Standard - because it suits any skin type, as the texture is not too oily, but also moderately nourishing. Another plus is that the cream is not afraid of cold weather, it was even tested during an expedition to Greenland and climbing Everest. After application, the skin feels comfortable, as if wrapped in a soft blanket - irritations and redness disappear, and the face remains moisturized throughout the day.

The composition of the moisturizing oil is squalane, obtained from olives - it is well compatible with subcutaneous fat, as well as antharticin - mined, you guessed it, in Antarctica. Together they protect the skin from dryness and damage at the lowest possible temperatures, and it is thanks to this magical “tandem” that you can forget about flaking in winter once and for all.

Price: 2 200 rubles.

Moisturizer with ceramides Good Cera Super Ceramide Cream, Holika Holika

Many thanks to the Korean brand Holika Holika for taking such good care of us, the owners of sensitive skin, which suffers so much in winter. Cream with ceramides is part of a special line of products designed specifically for dry and irritated skin.

In a canary-colored jar, there is a cream with a creamy texture, which at first glance seems very dense. When applied, the cream does not melt and is not absorbed in seconds, like water, but seems to envelop the skin, like a moisturizing mask. My skin does not need such intensive moisturizing, but, to my surprise, the cream did not leave a greasy film, but smoothed the skin and even made it a little matte. There was no trace of small peelings - this is the merit of ceramides, which make the skin soft and silky. The cream also contains enzymes that stimulate skin renewal, and my favorite lavender oil - it relieves irritation and relieves visible symptoms of stress. Additional bonus for fans natural cosmetics- no cream mineral oils, artificial dyes, synthetic fragrances and other chemicals.

Price: 1 340 rub.

Nourishing Face Cream, Dr. Konopka's

If you have ever wondered who Dr. Konopka is and why the brand was named after him, I tell you: this is a Tallinn pharmacist who decided to devote his whole life to studying medicinal herbs and creating ideal products for skin and hair. In 1938, he published a whole book of recipes with his own money, but due to the fact that the circulation was small, the book went unnoticed. And now, after 75 years, they decided to revive the recipes of a talented pharmacist - and this is how the well-known brand appeared.

Nourishing face cream also has a history - it contains essences based on Dr. Konopka's medicinal herbs. The product with a very dense texture resembles slightly melted butter - it is a pleasure to apply to dry and dehydrated skin. As part of vitamins, fatty acids and sea buckthorn fruit oil - they provide the skin with the necessary nutrition in the winter and prevent moisture loss, enhancing protective functions. I advise you to apply either half an hour before makeup, or at night - the cream needs time to be completely absorbed. But then the skin becomes soft and smooth, foundation perfectly fits on it, and oily sheen does not appear during the day.

Price: 375 rubles.

Night cream Night Recovery Cream-Oil, Elemis

Peptide cosmetics have long won the hearts of those who want to restore youth and freshness to the skin, as peptides (or simply organic proteins) start the rejuvenation process and stimulate cell renewal. Despite impressive hydration, the night cream-oil is instantly absorbed into the skin and does not leave a greasy film on the face.

You do not have to wait long for the product to be absorbed, and be afraid to leave greasy marks on the pillow. In the morning, the skin looks even and radiant, like a Disney princess, as if you had at least 10 hours of sleep. Night violet oil in the composition will not leave indifferent lovers of cosmetics with a pleasant aroma - moreover, warm floral notes perfectly help me tune in to a deep healthy sleep.

Price: 4 320 rubles.

Face cream L'Oxygenante In-Tense, Aura Chakè

If you have been looking for a cream that will make you feel luxurious for a long time, try the Aura Chakè French dermo-cosmetic mask. The founder of the brand was inspired by the story of the Egyptian princess Ora Shake, who managed to find the secret of preserving youth and her appearance did not change throughout her life. Ora prepared "magic" potions, and kept the recipes in the strictest confidence.

Of course, you won’t fool us with such fairy tales - we don’t need drugs, we need super cream! So L’Oxygènante In-Tense instantly makes the skin beautiful - it helps to saturate it with oxygen and saves it from drying out. Egyptian princesses hardly suffered from polluted city air, but we know this firsthand. The product enhances the protective functions of the skin, improves the structure and relaxes the facial muscles - all thanks to the molecules of perfluorodecoline (try to pronounce this word five times without hesitation). The composition and plant extracts - they saturate the skin with vitamins and protect against temperature changes.

Price: 12 800 rubles.

Moisturizing oil-free gel Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel-Cream, Kiehl's

For a long time I could not choose a face cream for myself - most of the skin began to shine very much an hour after application. The cosmetologist advised me to pay attention to fluids and gels. Kiehl's oil-free product - love at first use. A lightweight, virtually fragrance-free gel that glides on easily, absorbs in seconds to instantly smooth skin. The composition does not contain silicones, parabens and fragrances - Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel-Cream is made according to all the laws of proper organics. I apply morning and evening every day. Can be used as a make-up base - the tonal base lies more evenly on the gel, and the face begins to shine only by the end of the day.

Price: 2000 rub.

Cream with lifting effect Sublime Skin Serum, Comfort Zone

For the first time, I came across this tool in a miniature travel kit - by the way, a very convenient thing for those who like to travel with hand luggage.

I don’t have wrinkles yet, but a small hall has formed in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe nasolabial folds - “thank you” to active facial expressions. Regular use of Sublime Skin Serum helped to get rid of this "trouble". The cream perfectly moisturizes and improves elasticity.

On oily skin, the product behaves perfectly - no film and shine. I apply the cream only on the places of creases - it works!

Price on request.

Sudocrem

With oily skin prone to rashes, Sudocrem simply must be on the shelf. Pharmaceutical agent based on zinc oxide relieves redness, irritation and inflammation within a few hours after application. Of the additional components: cinnamite - substances with antifungal properties, lanolin, soothing the skin, benzoate - promotes skin regeneration and epithelium growth. Sudocrem is good for eczema, sunburn, abrasions, inflammatory elements on the skin.

To quickly get rid of rashes, I apply the product at night, and in the morning I do a glycolic peel - that's it.

Price: 500 rubles.

Ultra Rich Moisturizer Cream, Ultraceuticals

Moisturizing and oily skin are two difficult concepts to combine. It's easier to find a needle in a haystack than nutritious cream, which will not lie on the face with a thick layer of gloss in the T-zone. This mission was accomplished by Ultraceuticals! Despite the fact that the packaging says “for dry to very dry skin”, my oily skin was grateful for its velvety, smoothness and 100% matte finish. The consistency of the cream is more like melted ice cream - it is thick and dense. A special spoon is provided for application - there is no chance to overdo it with precious grams and then think where else to apply the excess. Ultra Rich Moisturizer Cream is instantly absorbed without leaving a greasy film. The cream has an excellent composition: shea butter, linoleic acid, ceramides, vitamin E, panthenol - powerful artillery against peeling, irritation and dryness. The tool must be on the shelf for peeling lovers - after retinol, it quickly soothed irritated skin. I use it both in the morning and in the evening - cosmetics lay down evenly and do not float.

Ultra-nourishing comfort cream for the face "Shea", L "Occitane

“The basis of the product is shea butter. As part of the cream, it is exactly 25%. Due to this, the concentration of the cream is very dense, reminiscent of a butter. At the same time, the cream is instantly absorbed, does not leave a greasy sheen and is very economically consumed! I've been using it for a month, and the volume of the product has decreased by only one tenth. My skin is sensitive to any greasy textures, but with this cream, they seem to have “melted”. In the morning and in the evening, it absorbs everything to the last drop, and I do not feel discomfort and can immediately apply the tone.

Price: 2990 rubles.

Delicate nourishing cream Mandel Wohltuende Gesichtscreme, Weleda

I recommend this cream to owners of dry skin or those who need hypernutrition in winter. I belong to the second category of beautyholics, so I don’t use Weleda every day or hand it to my husband when he complains about dry skin from frost and winds.

The main ingredient of the cream is almond oil, rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. The composition also contains plum seed oil and beeswax - only nine components. This mix really nourishes, but also leaves a greasy sheen if you have a mixed skin type. Therefore, I do not recommend applying it immediately before makeup. Wait until the agent is absorbed.

Weleda experts recommend the entire almond series (except for creams, it contains milk and oil) for sensitive skin prone to redness. The composition does not contain perfume fragrances, so the cream will not cause additional irritation.

Price: 1200 rubles.

Universal face cream Cream Expert Rhodiola Power Cream, Vprove

The cream is enclosed in a 35 ml tube. This will please those who are not used to getting their hands into a jar of product. I simply squeeze out the required amount of cream (the applicator helps control the volume) and close the lid. Residues do not flow out and do not stain the tube.

The cream is included in the hypoallergenic Expert line, so it is suitable for even the most sensitive skin. The product itself is very light, gentle, has an unobtrusive sweet aroma of ginseng and jojoba. Aloe vera and rhodiola are responsible for moisturizing and restoring the skin. You can apply it locally to deal with flaking. In any case, there will be no greasy and sticky film left.

Price: 2200 rubles.

Moisturizing cream sorbet Creme Sorbet hydratante, Caudalie

Pale pink strawberry ice-cream-colored packaging and the tasty name "Cream-Sorbet" insistently indicate that a whipped, airy dessert for the skin awaits inside. The cream really resembles berry mousse, sorbet or whipped cream. The product lays down on the skin with a light layer, is instantly absorbed and perfectly moisturizes.

In winter, my skin, like most people, becomes more sensitive. This is expressed in the appearance of redness and dryness. Cream Caudalie perfectly copes with all this! A couple of minutes after application, you can do makeup without using an additional base or primer.

Price: 2200 rubles.

Day after day, adverse environmental factors have a destructive effect on our body. The skin of the face is the first to feel all the changes. A special cream helps to keep it in good shape.

Any cosmetics should match your age and skin type.

The importance of cream in a woman's cosmetic bag

The main goal of facial care is to ensure its youth and beauty. Cosmetics for each girl is selected individually, depending on many factors, one of which is age.

All means are different, but the steps of care must be strictly followed.

The first thing to do is to cleanse the skin. And then lotion, milk, cream or even ordinary soap will come to your aid, depending on the type of skin. For example, milk is suitable for any type, for problematic and oily skin, you can take soap or gel, and for dry and sensitive skin, it is better to buy a liquid cleansing cream. It is well applied to the face, removes impurities, and is simply removed with a napkin or cotton pad. Dust, dirt, cosmetics, sebum are removed from the surface of the epidermis, which refreshes and gives a feeling of freshness.

After cleansing, it is important to take care of moisturizing. To maintain the oval of the face, use a restorative cream that will normalize the water balance and form a protection that prevents moisture from evaporating from the layers of the epidermis.

It is worth distinguishing between night and day care. Daytime cosmetics should be aimed at protecting the skin from adverse factors, and nighttime ones should restore and nourish it.

Do not forget about nutrients - they should contain a maximum of vitamins, nutrients and minerals. For young skin, this can be a simple complexion-enhancing cream. For middle-aged women, an elastic agent is suitable to keep the oval of the face in good shape and prevent the appearance of wrinkles.

Varieties

From the variety of cosmetics, one's eyes involuntarily run up: it seems that there is no such problem for which there would be no suitable solution.

One of the most popular and sought-after procedures to maintain muscle tone is massage. It can be entrusted to cosmetologists in beauty salons using professional tools and techniques, or you can do it yourself at home. It requires the right actions so that the effect is not the opposite of the desired one, which means that there must be a special cosmetic composition suitable for facial massage. Thanks to him, the procedure becomes more comfortable, and the movements become smoother.

The massage cream contains nourishing oils and vitamins that enhance the positive effect, stimulates the upper layer of the epidermis, soothes, relieves tension, and smoothes wrinkles.

For the best cleansing of the face, use a gommage cream before applying the basic care cream. This is a tool that should be applied in a thin layer on the face and left for a while. During this time, impurities are removed, and the epidermis is nourished. It should be washed off with light movements along the massage lines. This will enhance the effect of the procedure.

But you should refrain from using gommage if you have skin inflammation or the oval of the face is not elastic enough.

Surely every girl at least once in her life experienced discomfort caused by peeling of the face. And there are people who face this problem every day. To solve this problem, you need to use a remedy for peeling the skin and be sure to consult a dermatologist to determine what is causing it. There can be many reasons: dry cold wind, changeable weather, allergies, insufficient water balance of the epidermis, lack of proper care or improper and insufficient care, diseases.

If this is the result skin diseases, it is important to start treating the skin immediately.

Be that as it may, it is important to remove adverse factors and take measures to eliminate dryness and flaking. To do this, take a moisturizer. It is perfect for dehydrated skin, restores protective properties, softens and removes coarsened cells, replenishes vitamin balance and provides elasticity to the face oval.

Another remedy for dryness is a fat cream. It contains components of fat, anti-inflammatory complex, moisturizers. These components will replenish nutrients, remove dead cells, relieve tightness.

However, it should be remembered that, unlike a moisturizing agent, the fatty composition is very heavy, but due to this, irritants cannot penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis. The skin becomes soft and smooth.

Many girls suffer from a large number of black dots on their faces. They occur due to too enlarged pores, which can lead to inflammation and acne. A face cream in this case should narrow the pores and have an antibacterial effect. A face cream that does not clog pores is called non-comedogenic. It has a light texture, normalizes the work of the sebaceous glands, helps with irritation. Such funds are selected individually for each woman. The composition should not contain fats, oils, weighting agents, but there must be the presence of water, salicylic acid and herbal ingredients that relieve irritation.

There are also universal substances that are suitable for almost everyone - serums, lotions. They are distinguished by a high absorption rate and the absence of an unhealthy shine after application.

To remove harmful substances and toxins from the skin that interfere with the normal functioning of cells, it is important to detox the epidermis of the face.

Unfavorable substances accumulated in the skin disrupt normal operation, can lead to the formation of swelling under the eyes, lead to the appearance of wrinkles and inflammation. Detoxing helps to get rid of these problems and remove toxins through the blood or skin. Thanks to this procedure, the cells are renewed, wrinkles are smoothed out, the face shines with health. Skin detox is used in a complex for rejuvenation and beauty.

Means for removing toxins are different. It can be masks, injections, creams. To determine the choice of the right care, make an appointment with a specialist dermatologist.

The most common cause of intoxication is lack of oxygen. Therefore, it should be part of your face cleanser. In addition, the cream must contain an active vitamin complex and seaweed. Such a cocktail of useful substances draws out harmful substances, accelerates the processes of recovery and rejuvenation.

Properly selected care for your type of epidermis will help maintain the elasticity and beauty of the face oval, and you will look young and fresh.

Composition

So, when you already know what properties your face care product should have, it's time to go to the store. You can get confused by the variety of choices. In order not to purchase something that does not suit you, carefully study the composition on the label and check the tightness of the package.

What should be included in the composition and how to understand the action of the components? Let's look at the main components and their impact on us.

At the core of the foundations is water, this is understandable. It cleanses and moisturizes. Glycerin component also perfectly moisturizes, but you should understand how much of it is in the composition. If it is at the top of the list, then there is a lot, which means that the effect will be exactly the opposite - dehydration. Therefore, if you are looking for a moisturizer, then look for a product without glycerin.

It is better to choose a face cleanser without parabens and silicones, because they make the top layer of the epidermis heavier and do not allow it to breathe. Alcohol dries out the face.

coconut cream hypoallergenic, but do not forget about the intolerance of the components. If redness of the skin occurs, then it is better to refuse such a remedy.

Tea tree formulations are suitable for acne treatment. The more it is, the faster the treatment will go.

The drug with azulene will perfectly eliminate the problems of dryness and tightness. The presence of a vitamin complex in the composition will perfectly nourish the epidermis.

Honey mask-cream for the face is one of the most effective means for cleansing and rejuvenation. The gelatin component in its composition has a positive effect in the fight against wrinkles.

Placental cream fights the causes of skin aging by activating the work of cells. We can say that such a tool belongs to the category of anti-aging, since with constant use, cell reserves are replenished, wrinkles are smoothed, irritation disappears, the oval of the face becomes elastic and radiant.

Did you see the inscription “with phytoestrogens” on the package? This means that the composition contains a large number of extracts from natural plant components. These can be extracts of algae, licorice, chicory. This remedy saturates the skin with vitamins and minerals that restore the natural complexion.

A product with reflective particles makes wrinkles optically less visible. In addition, such particles are ideal on any skin tone, brighten it and relieve fatigue from the face.

Spermicidal cream has active restorative properties, relieves redness and treats inflammation. It is very suitable for middle-aged women with dry skin. This remedy soothes well after exposure to the sun and protects against frost. We can say that the product is universal.

How to choose

To do right choice funds just for you, according to the necessary features and needs, the following factors must be taken into account:

• The product must fully comply with your skin type and age category.
• The more natural and plant substances in the composition, the more useful it is.
• Look at the expiration date if it is over or is about to end, then it is better to refuse to use the product.
• In cold seasons and on hot days, the needs of the skin are different., so care should be appropriate to the time of year.
• Facial care day and night also has its own characteristics. Make sure you have day and night products in your makeup bag.
• Change your skin care product from time to time, not to get used to it.
• If your cream is not available in a tube, not in a bottle with a dispenser, but in an open-top jar, then it’s better not to put your fingers into it, but use a spatula for cosmetics. This will protect the product from dust and bacteria getting into it, which means that it will retain its beneficial properties longer.

Even the simplest cream will bring significant results if you adhere to the above points. And facial care will turn into a pleasant procedure, and the skin will be filled with strength and beauty.

In the video below, the cosmetologist talks about how to choose the right face cream.

Price

The difference in prices for cosmetic products for the face is striking, surprising and makes you think: will a budget cream be as effective as a luxury product? In practice, it has been verified that this is not always the case. You can spend an indefinite amount on a remedy from leading companies, but no one will guarantee that it will fit and will not cause discomfort using. Perhaps it is an inexpensive product that will become the very remedy from which the face will simply shine.

If you can not make a choice yourself, then make an appointment with a beautician. And if there is no desire to go to the doctor, then hypoallergenic products will come to your aid.

Manufacturer rating: the best firms

IN modern world there are a lot of companies that produce facial products, and not only. From time to time, fashion publishers or scientific societies rank manufacturers for a variety of product properties: rejuvenation, lifting, cost, etc. Consider the most famous manufacturers:

Faberlic Verbena Cream is in the top ten in the ranking of natural products, in it, but slightly higher is the company Dr. Stern. In the middle of the list is a corporation Ponds.

What woman does not dream of clean and smooth skin? Unfortunately, bad ecology, changeable weather conditions, exposure to heating appliances and air conditioners, stress that have become a constant companion of our lives have a harmful effect on the skin, not only polluting and depriving it of normal nutrition, but also dehydrating it, provoking premature aging. After all, it is water that is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. In addition, most facial treatments (removing peeling and redness, smoothing wrinkles, and others) are effective only if it is well moisturized. All kinds of achievements in the cosmetic industry come to the rescue, including good moisturizing face creams containing whole cocktails of the most useful oils, vitamins, nutrients and rightfully occupy a worthy place in the cosmetic bag of each of us.

Why and which moisturizing and nourishing cream to choose

How to navigate the countless offers of the cosmetic market, how to be guided by the choice of products and what requirements should be placed on it?

The first thing you need to know: the difference between good face creams is that they should not only moisturize and nourish the skin at the same time, but also retain moisture in it. So to say, three in one.

The most important condition when buying: the product must match exactly your skin type, which is known to almost every girl. And for those who have doubts about this, you need to test it for external stimuli. These can be personal care or dishwashing products, cosmetics, and so on. After a couple of days of introspection, you will have accurate information about your skin type.

The second condition is the composition of the product. Keep in mind: not always a resounding brand or beautiful packaging guarantee the quality of the cream, and most importantly, its safety. In order not to make a mistake with the choice and not cause irreparable harm to health, you need to pay attention to its composition. This is not difficult, since the list of contents is indicated on the package.

The dominant ingredient is usually indicated at the beginning of the list, and the rest are already in descending order of concentration.

For example, if you buy a cream that says that it is made on the basis of "aloe flowers", and they are mentioned only at the very end of the list, be sure - you are simply being fooled! At best, the content of aloe will be purely symbolic.

What should not be in the cream

Never buy a cream that contains formaldehyde (formalinum) - carcinogenic substances that, having penetrated the skin, destroy it. Some creams contain the carcinogen Triethanolamine, another terrible poison.

Another suspicious product is paraben. Possessing excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties, however, it is a serious allergen, and according to many experts, it can also provoke breast cancer.

If in cosmetic product the paraben content exceeds 0.3 percent - feel free to refuse to buy, despite the fabulous promises of manufacturers!

Nothing good should be expected from our body also from mineral oils, heavy silicones, ethylene and propylene glycols, phthalates.

Of course, it is impossible to do without emulsifiers and preservatives, which help to increase the shelf life of the product and preserve its properties. But they should be located in the last places in the list, which will mean their insignificant content.

Useful Ingredients to Moisturize Your Skin

But enough of the horror stories. Now let's turn to the beneficial substances contained in face creams - water, vitamins, amino acids, biologically active substances.

The presence in the cream of panthenol (pantenol) guarantees your skin softening, rejuvenation, and allantoin (allantoin) will retain moisture for a long time, create a regenerating effect. For good absorption of vitamins contained in creams, lecithin based on soybean oil or egg yolk is used.

Actually, vitamins are also added to creams in a synthesized form. For example, tocopheryl acetate is nothing but the synthesis of vitamin E obtained from vegetable oils.

The presence in the creams of azulene, obtained from medicinal herbs, produces a calming, healing and nourishing effect.

The composition is important to study when choosing.

In general, the plant-based face moisturizer should match the type of skin. For example, strawberries are suitable for oily, and St. John's wort with lavender - for dry and mixed skin types.

Well, let's not forget about the perfectly moisturizing and skin-protecting glycerin with glauric acid, various hydroacids and vegetable oils, which are a guarantee of the high quality of the cream.

Two more important tips

1. High-quality moisturizing creams smell with a delicate aroma of flowers and fruits. Or they don't smell at all.
2. The acid-base balance of the cream should be in the range from 5 to 9.
