The skin plays such an important role in the body that some experts compare it with a large endocrine gland, and even with the peripheral brain, which adequately responds to incoming information - both from outside and from inside the body. God himself commanded to cherish and cherish her. Especially if it is the skin of the face, and the face is a woman's.

Composition of a nourishing face cream

The first cosmetic creams were prepared on the basis of fats and herbal infusions. The benefits of these all-natural recipes were offset by the too short shelf life. This forced cosmetologists to increase the shelf life with various chemical additives, thanks to which modern women have a choice of cosmetics for all occasions.

The composition of a nourishing face cream depends on the purpose and the set of ingredients, it is indicated on the product packaging. Formulas of nourishing face creams contain: moisturizing, nourishing, emollient, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, soothing, healing, anti-aging, protective, vitamin, renewing, toning, disinfecting, cleansing and other components in various combinations. Each patented product has a unique composition.

According to the mode of action, there are two types of nourishing creams: day and night. They solve different problems, therefore, when choosing a cream, you should pay attention not only to the composition and ratio of natural and chemical ingredients, but also to the type of product.

Many substances, without which the cosmetic industry will not stay afloat, are unsafe and even harmful (dyes, fragrances, parabens, mineral oils, aluminum silicate and acetate, albumin, etc.). They can cause side effects and allergies and accumulate in the body. This is especially dangerous during pregnancy and breastfeeding of a child. Therefore, the composition is the main thing that you need to pay attention to when buying cosmetics.

Indications for the use of nourishing face creams

Indications for the use of nourishing face creams - dryness, expressed by various symptoms. The reason is poor functioning of the sebaceous glands and loss of moisture. In youth, this type of skin looks beautiful - the face is smooth, thin, matte, without an unpleasant shine from oily secretions. However, such skin is prone to irritation and peeling, rapid aging, loss of firmness and elasticity. To avoid this, special attention and skin care is required.

Normal skin is also not immune to dryness. The problem can be provoked by:

  • improper nutrition;
  • taking antibiotics;
  • hypoacid gastritis;
  • costs of the profession (for example, make-up for artists).

Improper facial care inevitably leads to dryness, early wrinkles or other problems. Factors to avoid are frequent washing, cold hard water, cosmetics containing alcohol and other drying agents.

In any case, every woman needs nourishing face creams after 30 years. Cosmetologists warn: when using the same product, addiction and a decrease in effectiveness are observed, therefore it is recommended to periodically change the brand of the cream. And also adhere to the "golden mean". In the sense that if a woman pretends to look young and modern, then it is unacceptable for her to either abuse or ignore nourishing face creams.

Moisturizing nourishing face cream

To understand what a moisturizing nourishing face cream is, you need to understand how moisturizers differ from nourishing ones.

The moisturizing cream formula is dominated by water and moisturizing ingredients: glycerin, hyaluronic acid. Additional components - fats, vitamins, extracts of plants, fruits and berries. The consistency is more liquid due to the large amount of water (about 70%). Its vocation is to replenish moisture and prevent its loss. At subzero temperatures outside, such a cream is harmful to the skin.

A nourishing face cream designed to nourish, but at the same time serve as a moisturizer. Such creams look like homemade sour cream, they are dominated by fats - up to 70%. The rest is water, vitamins, in age cosmetics - hormones, etc. This category of creams is suitable for winter, as it protects against the adverse effects of frost.

Thus, both creams are aimed at moisturizing, and the nourishing one additionally enriches the skin with useful substances. It is almost impossible to separate these properties; it is important to use both creams correctly, in particular, depending on the season and age.

Garnier's product "Vivifying Moisture" with camellia oil is an attempt to harmoniously combine hydration and nutrition. The cream is rich, oily, perfectly protects even very dry skin from the winter cold, soothes and nourishes, relieves the face of dehydration, feeling of tightness and dryness. According to the annotation, the cream provides an individual dose of life-giving hydration required in each case.

Nourishing cream for combination skin

Combination skin is characterized by dry or oily honeycomb "in its pure form". The task of cosmetic preparations for this type of skin is to effectively meet the requirements of various areas of the skin. That is, to be universal. Some women use two creams at once, applying them to different parts of the face according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

A nourishing cream for combination skin of the face must fulfill a complex of tasks: nutrition, moisturizing, care, protection, prevention of infections, normalization of perspiration.

Dryness usually manifests itself on the temples and cheeks, oily - on the forehead, nose, chin. As a result of this arrangement, the temples and cheeks suffer from peeling and tightness, the rest of the zones - from enlarged pores clogged with dirt and grease, periodically inflamed. To do this, plant extracts and essential oils are introduced into the formulas of nourishing face creams as active components, additional - glycerin, collagen, panthenol and similar substances, vitamin and mineral complexes.

There are individual and seasonal considerations for the care of combination skin. In summer, it approaches the fatty type, and in winter it becomes drier. Therefore, in the summer it is important to thoroughly cleanse your face, apply a cream with an anti-inflammatory and oil-reducing effect. In winter, increased attention is required: protection from the cold, nutrition and hydration.

Inexpensive creams - "Nivea" against wrinkles, "Cornflower and barberry" from "Chistaya Liniya", "Sophora Japanese" from Siberik.

Nourishing cream for problem skin

Problematic skin includes many blemishes that are either cosmetic defects or symptoms of disease. In the first case, a cosmetologist will help to eliminate the shortcomings, in the second, a dermatologist will be needed, and sometimes other doctors to determine the cause of such symptoms.

You can talk about problem skin if there is on the face:

  • inflammation (acne, papules, abscesses);
  • vascular network;
  • weeping scars;
  • scars;
  • pigmentation;
  • peeling;
  • eczema;
  • dermatosis.

A nourishing cream for problem skin is able to solve some of the problems, and if there are few of them, then that's all. When choosing a nourishing face cream in such cases, you should pay attention to what kind of shortcomings it eliminates. Is this the cream you need. Perhaps a pharmacy cream or a special folk remedy can help the cause.

It is useful to remember that defects on the face can be caused by improper diet and lifestyle. To achieve change for the better, it is worth giving up abuse and bad habits. And well-chosen cosmetics will complete the efforts.

Nourishing cream for sensitive skin

Features of dry skin - small pores, fine texture, delicate pink color. In youth, such skin looks very nice. Its owners are not annoyed by oily sheen, acne and inflammation.

But there are also disadvantages: dry skin is often irritated, reacts painfully to atmospheric factors, and earlier oily skin is subject to aging. Caring for it requires special cosmetics, in particular, high-quality nourishing creams for sensitive skin.

  • Belarusian cosmetologists have proposed a budget option to counter these problems. Bielita produces two types of chamomile nourishing face cream: day and night. The purpose of the creams is nutrition, hydration, soothing, recovery. The effect is achieved through a combination of natural substances: chamomile extract and arnica oil (day cream), chamomile and allantoin (night cream).

Cosmetics for dry skin - a great variety. If the cream meets the individual needs, then it will certainly be suitable as a nourishing agent for sensitive skin. But sometimes the manufacturer focuses on this, putting the word "sensitive skin" in the name.

Thus, the Latvian brand Dzintars offers the "Revitalizing" night cream specifically for women with sensitive skin. It is part of an organic line, the recipe of which is based on environmentally friendly, certified products. The cream contains natural lipids, apple seed extracts and cocoa butter, which gently restore softness, elasticity, moisture balance, freshness of the sensitive skin of the face and neck.

Nourishing face cream after 25 years

After 25 years, natural processes slow down in the skin, in particular, it begins to lose moisture, requires restoration and maintenance of water balance. Collagen production decreases. In short, destructive processes are activated, while restorative processes, on the contrary, are inhibited.

These processes begin imperceptibly, but if you do not take care of the skin, the former freshness and radiance of the skin will sink into oblivion after a while. A competent care system will protect the skin from sagging and early wrinkles, preserve its natural freshness and radiance.

The treatment is based on the use of nourishing face creams. As a preventive measure, for daily care, special nourishing face creams are used after 25, combining intensive nutrition and a moisturizing effect. To accomplish the assigned tasks, the formula must contain:

  • essential oils;
  • vitamins E, A;
  • allantoin, bisabolol, panthenol;
  • sorbitol;
  • fruit acids;
  • hyaluronic acid.

Many brands offer whole lines of nourishing anti-aging cosmetics with unique formulations and properties. Nutrition and Moisture from Natura Siberica, Pure Line, Sensitive Touch from Lumene, Basic Care from Garnier are just a few of the popular creams of this type.

Nourishing face creams after 50 years

In skin care after 50 years, the emphasis is on nutrition. Experienced women believe that high-quality nourishing face creams after 50 are not a luxury, but a necessity. This is a real medicine, and you cannot save on it. Indeed, by this age, even the most genetically resistant skin loses its elasticity. The production of collagen and elastin is reduced, and the water balance is disturbed.

An age-related nourishing cream is able to prevent or slow down unwanted changes, including pigmentation and fading. Like other nourishing face creams, there are age-related creams for day and night.

The "Youth Prolongation" day cream according to the recipe of grandmother Agafia contains Siberian herbs and roots, as well as green coffee. All components are natural, preservatives are food. The cream is easily absorbed, saturates with vitamins and nutrients.

The "Active Rejuvenation" night cream from the same manufacturer contains, in addition to ginseng, seven more plants with anti-aging properties from ecologically clean areas. The result is not long in coming: almost immediately, the condition of the face is noticeably improved, and the contour becomes clearer.

Homemade cream with gelatin is prepared in a water bath. Its benefits are in the high collagen content needed to maintain firmness.

  • Take 3 tbsp for a teaspoon of gelatin. spoons of honey, half a glass of water and glycerin, salicylic acid on the tip of a knife. The substances heated and mixed until homogeneous are brought to a jelly-like consistency, whipped and cooled.

Children's nourishing face cream

Baby creams perform various functions: daily care, prevention and treatment, protective (from the sun, cold, insects). The properties are determined by the recipe, which is based on natural ingredients: vegetable and animal fats, herbal tinctures, bee products and other useful substances. A high-quality cream should be free from aggressive sulfates, preservatives, artificial fragrances, parabens in large quantities.

Are baby nourishing face creams suitable for adult women? The issue is controversial. On the one hand, the cream is actively used as a base product in the manufacture of home cosmetics; Moreover, according to reviews, it gives positive results: it returns smoothness and velvety to dry skin.

  • But not everything is so simple. There is an opinion that this is not a solution to the problem, but only a temporary masking of skin defects. Why?

It turns out that oily baby cream on adult skin forms a greenhouse effect, clogs pores and interferes with breathing. The resulting film, designed to protect the delicate epidermis on the child's body, prevents moisture from the rougher adult skin. This provokes inflammation and premature wilting. For oily skin, baby face cream stimulates the formation of fat, and this turns the skin into problem skin.

Popular baby creams:

  • Calendula by weleda;
  • "Casper" with chamomile;
  • Tick-tock from Freedom;
  • "Alice";
  • "My Sunshine";
  • Delicate ”from Bubchen;
  • "Infarma baby cream";

Nourishing face cream for men

What are the specifics of nourishing face creams for men? Men's skin is stronger than women's, and is exposed to adverse effects of external factors: ultraviolet radiation, cold, wind, precipitation. She also suffers and becomes thinner from constant shaving. Taking these features into account, formulas for face creams are created for the stronger sex.

The Israeli-made Premier cream, designed for sun protection, toning, and moisturizing of the male face, perfectly fulfills the nutritional and protective function. Israeli cosmetics are unique in that the formulas are based on the healing minerals of the Dead Sea. Besides them, Premier cream is enriched with vitamins, natural oils, organic extracts.

Nourishing face creams for men help them look younger and more well-groomed as they nourish the skin with vitamins and minerals. The cosmetic market offers products of various quality and cost, so there is plenty to choose from: from expensive Italian Nature`s to budget Rainbow (Switzerland).

Pharmacodynamics

Information is available on the pharmacodynamics of the individual active ingredients of nourishing face creams.

The oils nourish and soften the skin.

Hyaluronic acid retains moisture.

If possible, it is sometimes advisable to devote an entire day to the face. During it, apply the cream in the morning, afternoon and evening for an hour, remove each time with a special lotion or sour milk. In pauses, in the same way, nourish the eye zones with special means.

When changing the way of facial care during the period of bearing a child, it is worth remembering possible reactions when using new drugs. To reduce risks, several rules should be followed:

  • use cosmetics of previously proven brands;
  • test creams by applying to the inside of the hands or elbow;
  • do not use drying masks and lotions;
  • give preference to moisturizing masks and peels.

When choosing a nourishing face cream, you should carefully study the composition for harmful components and allergens. If the skin reacts with irritation, it must be discarded. Periodically, the skin needs to be given rest and the ability to produce its own fat.

Method of administration and dosage

Apply the nourishing face cream gently along the massage lines in portions. On the forehead, cheeks, nose, you can hammer in with your fingertips.

Nourishing creams are more effective when applied to damp skin. Water not only additionally moisturizes the skin, but also promotes better penetration of the cream.

Cold cream causes vasospasm, and if you rub it in your palms, it softens and is better absorbed.

The way in which nourishing face creams are applied depends on the type of cream. Night creams are more greasy, so they are applied in a thin layer, kept for about an hour and removed with cosmetic wipes.

With oily skin, it is kept for no more than half an hour and removed with a swab moistened with an acidified solution. If the nourishing cream is left overnight, it will interfere with skin respiration and provoke comedones.

Homemade recipes for nourishing face creams

The main advantages of home cosmetics are availability, naturalness, absence of preservatives, parabens and other undesirable substances. They have been tested by many generations of women and are often inherited from mother to daughter. There is also a disadvantage - high sensitivity to storage conditions. There is only one way out: so that the nourishing face cream does not deteriorate, it should be prepared in portions, several times, stored only in the cold and for a short time - from 5 to 14 days.

The easiest way is to use homemade recipes for nourishing face creams based on baby cream or vegetable oil (olive, peach, almond). The base product is enriched with additional natural ingredients - essential oils, vitamins. By combining the ingredients, we get a cream for any skin type.

Nourishing face cream based on milk and honey

Milk soothes and softens the skin, eliminates bags around the eyes, wrinkles and dryness. Honey has the same properties, and also enriches the skin with vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, making it healthy and radiant.

Noteworthy are two nourishing face creams based on milk and honey: from Avon and from Oriflame. These products also play an important role in the home remedy arsenal.

Dehydration, redness, dull color - these are just a small fraction of the effects of frost, wind and heating on the combined and normal skin of the face. Winter is a tough test for all skin types without exception. In spring and summer, our body produces a lot more fat, and in the cold season, the process slows down dramatically, which immediately makes the skin dry, dull and flaky. In addition, there is less moisture in the winter air.

But we shouldn't blame solely on the weather - what, we ourselves are good! Hot baths for an hour unrealistically dry out the epidermis. Not to mention chlorinated tap water.

Last week we took a look at how to care for sensitive and dry skin when the temperature outside the window is freezing. Now is the time to draw up a rescue plan for the most common types - normal and combined.

the site talked with dermatologists, beauty experts and selected the most effective cosmetic products from the mass of tested ones.

Let's start with the fact that with the onset of winter it should always be change cleanser: Use a creamy, fragrance-free product instead of a foaming gel. In cold weather, the epidermis loses 25 percent more moisture than in other seasons. Hot water and soap-based products are one of the main enemies of moisturized and healthy skin.

The key goal of the owners of the normal and combined types is cleansed and soft, but not overdried skin. Remember, the more you remove moisture from your skin, the more oil it produces afterwards. This is an elementary defense reaction. Therefore, you should not move in a vicious circle, rejoicing in a short-term dullness. Our task is to have a consistently beautiful and well-groomed skin by the spring.

Pick up more nutritious and rich healthy ingredients cream... The composition of the product should include at least glycerin, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. In addition, make sure the cream contains ingredients that fight inflammation and strengthen the skin's protective barrier, as well as antioxidants and valuable oils.

Expert dermatologist of the L "Oréal brand Marina Kamanina advises:

Normal to combination skin is less capricious in winter, but it also experiences dehydration, since the usual cleansing can degrease already not very oily skin. It is better to wash your face with cool water, use milk for cleansing plus tonic or gel-like cleansers with mild surfactants no more than 1 time per day. For daily grooming, light textures like oil-in-water are fine.

After the recommendation of a professional, we tried BB cream "Luxury Nutrition - Perfect Radiance" from L "Oréal. The product not only evens and heals the complexion, but also nourishes and restores its radiance. The cream does not leave an oily sheen and adapts to any skin type. It contains our favorite shea butter, vitamin C and mineral reflective particles that melt on contact with the skin. Plus, the manufacturer took care of protection from solar radiation and pleased us with an SPF 20 factor.

As part of our review, we tested a new product from Dior- an amazing skin care product Dreamskin from the line CaptureTotale that not only moisturizes, nourishes and removes redness, but also corrects wrinkles. In addition, the product removes dull complexion, gives the skin comfort, firmness and radiance. With each application, the power of stem cells, enhanced by longose ​​and sawillus extracts, transforms the epidermis.

And the most important thing is that the product perfectly reduces skin shine and tightens pores. Believe it or not, the universal formula of this beauty novelty is suitable for any age, type and skin tone. The infinitely soft texture envelops the skin in a powdery veil. Just three drops of the product - and no winter is terrible: the skin glows with health, becomes uniform and smooth.

During the winter months, girls with combination skin will notice that the T-zone becomes less oily and the cheeks dry more. A sharp temperature drop injures the epidermis - moisture evaporates and skin irritation occurs. And with age, dryness increases, because the sebaceous glands slow down.

What's more, acne medications containing retinoids and excess intake of vitamin A capsules can make the situation worse. Salicylic and glycolic acids are also fraught with dehydration of the epidermis.

One of our favorite moisturizers for normal to combination skin is Aquasource from Biotherm based on thermal plankton and mannose. The product perfectly regenerates the skin, increasing its ability to retain moisture, and also thickens the epidermis. Thermal plankton extract with vitamins, minerals and amino acids accelerates cell renewal and improves cell structure. We cannot fail to note the amazingly fresh texture of the cream gel. The whole secret lies in three-dimensional polymers, which form a 3D protection on the skin that retains active ingredients and moisture. The product does not contain any parabens or mineral oil. Perfectly moisturizes the skin for 24 hours.

We strongly ask in winter refrain from using tonic... Right now, the ideal treatment regimen for combination skin is a mild cleanser, antioxidant-rich serum, and a moisturizer with a minimum sun protection factor of 15 SPF 15. Good serums should include biopeptides that firm and tighten the skin.

the site was satisfied with the complex three-stage system from Clinique which contains cleansing soap Facial Soap, exfoliating lotion Clarifying Lotion and moisturizer Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion +... The latter product is great for fighting dehydration throughout the day and fortifying the skin's natural protective barrier. We love the rich silk texture of the fast absorbency of the winter beauty savior.

One of the most powerful winter serums - the revitalizing cream serum ForeverYouthLiberator with concentrated glycan complex from the brand YSL... The product is designed for skin that is regularly exposed to aggressive environmental influences, stress and fatigue. After just a month of use, the skin becomes soft, elastic, and deep wrinkles are smoothed out. The product is a water-in-oil emulsion with smoothing waxes. An airy balm, similar to whipped cream, melts on the skin, moisturizing it and lifting the contours of the face.

Don't forget about scrubs- in winter, it is also necessary to exfoliate the skin of the face, getting rid of dead cells, otherwise the moisturizer will not be able to penetrate well into the epidermis. Of course, you should limit yourself to one or at most two procedures per week. What scrub is now suitable for normal to combination skin?

One of our favorites is DailyFacialScrub with grapefruit extract from the brand YesTo that perfectly restores and evens out complexion. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, the miracle scrub blocks the action of free radicals. Lemon balm extract completely relieves irritation: still, the herb is a natural antiseptic! And no harmful parabens. As a result, we got a great radiant complexion and a rested look, as if we were returning from a winter spa resort. We give the highest score.

Once again, the right winter cream should contain emollient ingredients like shea butter: it not only nourishes, but also increases the ability of the epidermis to retain moisture and create a protective barrier - you will not be dehydrated.

Brand specialistHimalayaHerbals Tatiana Maksakova gives valuable advice:

In winter, our skin is exposed to many adverse factors: temperature changes, snow, wind and rain. Oily or combination skin tolerates frost a little more easily than, for example, dry or sensitive skin. But even she has problems. In winter, oily skin becomes more sensitive. Keratinized cells slough off worse, accumulating sebum in themselves, as a result of which a crust forms on the face.

In some places, the skin begins to peel off, which forces you to apply a greasy cream to smooth the surface. Such a product forms an additional dense film, which interferes with the regeneration of the skin and the flow of moisturizing and nutrients into it. As a result, the skin begins to peel off even more.

We tested the nourishing cream HimalayaHerbals, which turned out to be a real lifesaver in Epiphany frosts. The product not only moisturizes and removes dryness before the first wash, as it usually happens, but "closes" the moisture in the skin all day long. Moreover, the product soothes the epidermis and protects against the harmful effects of the environment. Note one more advantage of the cream - it can be applied not only to the skin of the face, but also to the body, including hands and feet.

The whole secret of the wonderful product is in aloe vera, asiatic centella, witania and pterocarpus in the composition. It is the mysterious pterocarpus that tones and tightens the pores without damaging normal and combination skin. Well, centella asiatica soothes and prevents the formation of wrinkles. An unequivocal must-have for the winter!

Let's move on to body care... The key winter rule is no hot baths and showers... Immediately after water treatment, gently pat dry the skin with a towel and apply a moisturizing nourishing agent while the skin is still damp. Pamper your elbows, knees, feet, shins, and arms especially generously. And keep your bathroom door closed to keep out valuable moisture.

Luxurious body balm Apicosma from the brand Melvita with three types of honey (acacia, thyme, orange blossom) and royal jelly in the composition caused a stormy delight of the entire editorial board: an unrealistically aromatic product intensively nourishes the skin, regenerates, perfectly moisturizes and softens amazingly. Note that among the extremely useful ingredients are cocoa butter and stevia leaf extract. Our verdict: honey balm must be on the shelf in the bathroom all winter.

Caring for problem areas of the skin requires an integrated approach, so it is important to choose a cream that meets all the needs of different areas of the face. Below are the main criteria for choosing a quality cream for the care of combination skin.


Features of the epidermis

Care for combination skin is aimed at eliminating various problems in certain areas of the face. Specialists in the field of cosmetology conditionally divide the types of skin into normal, oily, dry and combination. It depends on its physiological characteristics and reactions to external irritants.


The combined or mixed type of skin of the face needs careful treatment and the use of cosmetic care products designed specifically for it. For this type of skin, it will be harmful to use creams that are suitable for owners of dry or oily types. The combined type is characterized by the fact that it has features in common with dry and oily skin types.


For instance, areas of dryness- the zone of the cheeks and temples, and the areas of fat content - the so-called T-zone - nasolabial folds and forehead. Oily areas of the skin arise due to increased secretion of the sebaceous glands: fat cells, together with sweat fluid, exit through the pores, and their excessive production provokes a violation of its outflow. This can lead to acne or blackheads.


Peeling of individual areas can occur due to a violation of the process of cleansing the epidermis from "dead" or keratinized cells. Dryness in certain areas of combination skin appears due to insufficient moisture. This is especially evident in the warm season. Inadequate care of combination skin leads to the early appearance of wrinkles and general aging of the facial skin.

Tasks of face cosmetics

Prevention of unpleasant phenomena typical for combination skin consists in even distribution of care for both dry and oily areas of the face. This can be achieved with care products formulated specifically for mixed skin types.


The cream should have the following actions:

  • intense hydration dry areas;
  • cell nutrition and enriching them with vitamins and other substances that ensure their healthy functioning;
  • prevention from external influences (UV radiation, wind, low or high temperatures);
  • restoration of damaged areas of the epidermis;
  • matting effect;
  • anti-inflammatory action to prevent or treat inflammatory processes on the face (acne, blackheads, etc.);
  • tonic effect on problem areas;
  • blockage prevention sweat and sebaceous glands, by regulating the normal outflow of the secretion of the glands.



The composition of the cream for the combined type of skin depends on its functional orientation. Plant extracts can have a tonic or calming effect (chamomile, lily, citrus, tea tree, ginger, mint, rose, bergamot, etc.); essential oils will help eliminate flaking (rose oil, lavender, etc.); hyaluronic acid and dexpanthenol will help to have a healing effect on damaged skin areas. The composition of the product may include vitamins and minerals.


How to choose

Taking care of the condition of your face, you need to choose a cream that suits your skin type. Now there are many products for the care of the combined type, in which the main functions of the cream, intended for owners of problem skin, are concentrated in an optimal ratio. For deeper care, you can use several creams with different mechanisms of action and cover specific areas of the skin with them. It depends on what kind of help a particular area of ​​the face needs. With this method of using the product, the procedure for applying it to the face can be complicated.



Seasonal selection

There are features of using a cream for combination skin at different times of the year. In summer, the mixed type is as similar as possible to the fatty type, so more attention should be paid to the “fatty” areas - these are nasolabial folds, nose, forehead skin. In the warm season, problems in these areas of the face become even more pronounced. The face requires intensive care and frequent cleansing with special products.


A care product for mixed skin should have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, because the high temperature and secretion of the sebaceous glands of the face is a very favorable environment for the reproduction of pathogenic microflora, which can cause acne and other inflammatory skin diseases. It is necessary that the cream for combination skin contains components that can "dry" the pores. However, the excessive effect of these substances can lead to irritation, so you need to be careful here too.



In the cold season, mixed skin becomes vulnerable. She needs intense nourishment, hydration and protection. In winter, the skin is prone to dryness, so hydration and nutrition are a priority in facial care during this period.... Moisturizer should not be applied before going outside. It is better to use it at night. Before going out, apply a protective cream under light make-up to protect sensitive skin from wind, low temperatures and other unpleasant phenomena.



Rating of the best manufacturers

Home remedies

Using the recommendations above, you can choose the most suitable cosmetic product for yourself that meets all the needs of your skin and the capabilities of your wallet. However, if you do not trust cosmetics manufacturers, believing that any "chemistry" is harmful or you do not agree with the pricing policy of some well-known brands, then you can prepare a cream for combination skin from natural products at home. It will be a budget alternative to synthetic counterparts.


Here are some simple recipes for a combination cover cream.

  • Fill lemon peel 200 ml of warm boiled water. Insist for 14 hours. Strain the mixture. Mix the remaining lemon water with the yolk and beat well. Next, add a tablespoon of cream, a teaspoon of camphor oil and 3 teaspoons of lemon juice to the mixture. Mix all components thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight.

First of all, it all depends on the season. In the summer, treat your skin like oily. Use gels and foams every day, and choose creams with the lightest texture possible. In winter, treat your face as if it were dry. For daily use, oily milk is suitable, and creams for combination skin in the cold season should be oily. If a feeling of tightness appears during the day, you can additionally apply a moisturizer at night.

A day cream for combination skin should be light texture, eliminate oily sheen and moisturize the skin, as well as reduce inflammation. This also applies to the tonal basis.

Nighttime can be more oily to effectively nourish and regenerate. Most often it is recommended to use it after thirty years. In winter, it can also be used as a day cream.

Best creams for mixed skin

Since most well-known manufacturers indicate on the packaging of cosmetics for what type of skin it is intended, it will not be difficult to choose a whole series of face products. But we decided to talk about the composition again so that our readers know what this or that component is responsible for.

  • The day cream must contain at least 60 percent water. This will keep the skin hydrated and not feel tight after application.
  • As part of a good product, sunscreen filters must be present, which minimize the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.
  • According to women, creams with various vitamins are considered very effective: A (prevents overdrying), C (activates metabolism), E (does not let harmful radicals go deep) and F (has an anti-inflammatory effect).
  • For a night cream, choose one that contains glycolic or lactic acid (which helps exfoliate old epidermis and retain moisture), as well as kojic and salicylic, which prevent the appearance of age spots and have an antibacterial effect.

You should always remember that the condition of the skin on the face is a girl's calling card and you should not save on her care products.
