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

The composition of the nourishing face cream

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

The composition of the nourishing face cream depends on the purpose and set of ingredients, it is indicated on the product packaging. The formulas of nourishing face creams contain: moisturizing, nourishing, softening, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, soothing, healing, rejuvenating, 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 survive, are unsafe and even harmful (dyes, fragrances, parabens, mineral oils, aluminum silicate and acetate, albumin, etc.). They can cause side effects and allergies, accumulate in the body. This is especially dangerous during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 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 the weak functioning of the sebaceous glands and the loss of moisture. In youth, this type of skin looks beautiful - the face is smooth, thin, matte, without an unpleasant sheen from oily secretions. However, such skin is prone to irritation and flaking, 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 caused by:

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

Improper facial care inevitably leads to overdrying, early wrinkles or other problems. Factors to be avoided are frequent washing, cold hard water, cosmetics containing alcohol and other drying substances.

In any case, every woman needs nourishing face creams after 30 years. Cosmetologists warn: when using the same remedy, addiction and a decrease in effectiveness are observed, therefore it is recommended to periodically change the brand of cream. And also stick to the "golden mean". In the sense that if a woman claims 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%). His calling is to replenish moisture and prevent its loss. At sub-zero temperatures outside, such a cream is harmful to the skin.

Nourishing face cream is designed to nourish, but at the same time performs the function of moisturizing. Such creams look like homemade sour cream, they are dominated by fats - up to 70%. The rest is water, vitamins, in age-related 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 brand product "Revitalizing Moisturizing" 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, tightness and dryness. According to the annotation, the cream provides an individual dose of invigorating hydration, necessary in each case.

Nourishing cream for combination skin

Combination skin is characterized by being dry or oily "in its purest 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.

Nourishing cream for combination skin should perform a set of tasks: nutrition, hydration, care, protection, prevention of infections, normalization of sweating.

Usually dryness appears on the temples and cheeks, oiliness - on the forehead, nose, chin. As a result of this arrangement, the temples and cheeks suffer from peeling and tightness, the remaining 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 features of care for combination skin. In summer, it approaches the oily type, and in winter it becomes drier. Therefore, in the summer it is important to thoroughly cleanse the face, apply a cream with an anti-inflammatory and sebum-reducing effect. In winter, increased attention is required: protection from the cold, nutrition and hydration.

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

Nourishing cream for problem skin

The concept of "problem skin" includes the presence of many flaws, which are either cosmetic deficiencies or symptoms of diseases. In the first case, a cosmetologist will help eliminate the shortcomings, in the second, a dermatologist, and sometimes other doctors, will be required to determine the cause of such symptoms.

You can talk about problem skin if you have on your face:

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

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

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 abandoning abuses and bad habits. A well-chosen cosmetics will complete the effort.

Nourishing face 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, painfully reacts to atmospheric factors and undergoes aging before oily skin. Caring for it requires special cosmetics, in particular, high-quality nourishing creams for sensitive facial skin.

• Belarusian cosmetologists have proposed a budget option to counter these problems. Bielita produces a nourishing face cream "Chamomile" of two types: day and night. The purpose of creams is nutrition, moisturizing, soothing, restoring. 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 individual characteristics, then it will certainly be suitable as a nutrient for sensitive skin. But sometimes the manufacturer emphasizes this, putting the words “sensitive skin” in the name.

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

Nourishing face cream after 25 years

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

These processes begin imperceptibly, but if the skin is not taken care of, 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 the natural freshness and radiance.

The basis of care is the use of nourishing face creams. For preventive purposes, for everyday care, special nourishing face creams are used for the face after 25, combining intensive nutrition and moisturizing effect. To perform the 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 recipes and properties. "Nutrition and Moisturizing" by Natura Siberica, "Clean Line", Sensitive Touch by Lumene, "Basic Care" by Garnier are just some 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 real medicine, and you can not save on it. Indeed, by this age, even the most genetically resistant skin loses its elasticity. The production of collagen and elastin is reduced, the water balance is disturbed.

Age nourishing cream is able to prevent or slow down unwanted changes, including pigmentation and wilting. Like other nourishing face creams, age creams are day and night.

Day cream "Prolongation of youth" according to the recipe of grandmother Agafya contains Siberian herbs and roots, as well as green coffee. All ingredients are natural, preservatives are food grade. The cream is easily absorbed, saturates with vitamins and nutrients.

Night cream "Active rejuvenation" of the same manufacturer contains, in addition to ginseng, seven more plants with rejuvenating properties, from ecologically clean areas. The result is not long in coming: almost immediately the condition of the face noticeably improves, and the contour becomes clearer.

Homemade cream with gelatin is prepared in a water bath. Its benefit is in the high content of collagen, which is necessary to maintain elasticity.

• On a teaspoon of gelatin take 3 tbsp. 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.

Baby nourishing face cream

Baby creams perform various functions: daily care, prevention and treatment, protective (from the sun, cold, insects). 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 of aggressive sulfates, preservatives, artificial fragrances, parabens in large quantities.

Are baby nourishing face creams suitable for adult women? The question is moot. 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 clear. 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 greasy baby cream on adult skin forms a greenhouse effect, clogs pores and makes it difficult to breathe. The resulting film, designed to protect the delicate epidermis on the children's body, prevents the rougher adult skin from moisturizing. This provokes inflammation and premature wilting. With oily skin, baby face cream stimulates the formation of fat, and this turns the skin into a problematic one.

Popular baby creams:

• "Calendula" by Weleda;
• "Casper" with chamomile;
• "Tick-tock" from Freedom;
• "Alice";
• "My Sunshine";
• Gentle" from Bubchen;
• "Children's cream Inpharma";
• With a succession;
• "Mom and baby";
• "Baby";
• "Careful care" from Johnson's baby;
• "Baby" from Nivea;

Nourishing face cream for men

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

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

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

When choosing a nourishing face cream, you should carefully examine 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 opportunity to produce its own fat.

Dosage and administration

Nourishing face cream is applied carefully along the massage lines, in portions. On the forehead, cheeks, nose, you can pound 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 spasms of blood vessels, and if rubbed in the palms, it softens and is better absorbed.

How to apply nourishing face creams depends on the type of cream. Night creams are more oily, 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 passed down 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, for several times, stored only in the cold and not for long - 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 remedy is enriched with additional natural ingredients - essential oils, vitamins. By combining the ingredients, we get a cream for any skin type.

• bold:

A mixture of 2 tsp. butter, 1 tsp. yolk, 3 tsp beat the pulp of a berry or fruit (apple, strawberry, plum) to an airy consistency, apply on the face for half an hour, then remove the rest with a napkin;

• combined:

50 ml mineral water, 30 ml rose water, 70 g fresh lard (melted), 1 tsp. mix honey, aloe juice, apply after cooling the mixture;

• dry:

2 tsp butter, 0.5 tsp. olive oil, yolk, 1 tsp honey - apply in the same way;

• for problem skin:

dilute the mumiyo in powder in a decoction of calendula to a creamy state;

• night cream:

a mixture of vegetable oils (olives, peach, almonds) and natural wax (proportion 5: 1) is heated in a water bath, mixed with a separately prepared solution of boric acid (1 tsp) and beat.

To get a creamy mixture of light consistency, the ingredients are whipped in a warm state, then cooled, and only then used for their intended purpose.

Nourishing face cream based on milk and honey

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

Two nourishing face creams based on milk and honey deserve attention: from Avon and from Oriflame. In the arsenal of home remedies, these products also play an important role.

1. "Milk and Honey" from Avon contains a bouquet of skin-friendly substances that natural honey and cow's milk are rich in. The honey component nourishes and softens, other ingredients moisturize the skin and restore aging cells. Everyday facial care is a pleasure and pleasantness.
2. Oriflame Night Cream is designed for dry to very dry skin. Saturates the cells with moisture and retains it throughout the day. The texture is non-sticky and absorbs quickly without leaving residue. With constant use, it maintains natural freshness and beauty, evens tone and relief.
3. Homemade nourishing face cream, in addition to milk and honey, contains two yolks and flavoring components: rose oil (a few drops) and a decoction of petals (a teaspoon). Honey for a serving of cream take a teaspoon, milk - a tablespoon. The ingredients are mixed in a clean bowl, kept in the refrigerator, used once or more a day.

Care 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

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

A combined or mixed type of facial skin 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 combination type is characterized by the fact that it has signs in common with dry and oily skin types.

For example, 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 result in acne or blackheads.

Peeling of individual areas may 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 pronounced in the warm season. Illiterate care for combination skin leads to the early appearance of wrinkles and general fading of the skin of the face.

Tasks of cosmetics for the face

Prevention of unpleasant phenomena characteristic of combination skin consists in an even distribution of care for both dry and oily areas of the face. This can be achieved with care products designed 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, black spots, etc.);
• tonic effect on problem areas;
• blockage prevention sweat and sebaceous glands, by regulating the normal outflow of secretions from 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 peeling (rose oil, lavender, etc.); hyaluronic acid and dexpanthenol will help to have a therapeutic effect on damaged areas of the skin. The composition of the product may include vitamins and trace elements.

How to choose

Taking care of the condition of the 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 a cream intended for owners of problem skin are concentrated in the optimal ratio. For deeper care, you can use several creams with different mechanisms of action and cover them with strictly defined areas of the skin. It depends on what kind of help this or that area of ​​the face needs. With this method of using the product, the procedure for applying it to the face can be complicated.

Choice by season

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 oily one, so more attention should be paid to the “fatty” zones - these are the nasolabial folds, nose, and 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 product for the care of a mixed skin type should have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, because the high temperature and the 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 contain components that can "dry" the pores. However, the excessive effect of these substances can lead to irritation, so you need to be careful here.

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

Rating of the best manufacturers

home remedies

Using the recommendations above, you will be able to choose the most suitable cosmetic product for you, which meets all the needs of your skin and the possibilities 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.

We offer you some simple cream recipes for a combined type of cover.

• Pour lemon peel 200 ml of warm boiled water. Leave 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 resulting mixture. Mix all components thoroughly. Put in the refrigerator overnight.

To keep women's skin young, clean, smooth and elastic at any age, you need a good nourishing cream. In this post, we will reveal the topic of the composition of effective cosmetics for skin care, give a rating of popular products from well-known brands and designate a couple of homemade recipes.

Nutritional properties and features of creams

Why do you need a nourishing face cream?

Nourishing creams help maintain youth

Starting from the age of 25, it is better to lead a strictly healthy lifestyle, start intensively caring for the skin of the whole body and especially the face, otherwise age-related changes will be noticeable already at the age of 30. A woman who correctly organized cosmetic procedures for the body is easy to recognize. At 40-45 years old, she looks at least 10 years younger, and in general, people around her often find it difficult to determine her age.

Nourishing creams perfectly moisturize the skin

It has been noticed that all nourishing creams offered by modern manufacturers have a moisturizing effect. The main task of a cosmetic product, where there is a note about moisturizing or nourishing potential, is to supply additional life-giving moisture to skin cells. It should also be noted that not every moisturizer provides good nutrition. Due to the optimal water content in the cream, the skin is well protected in cold weather. For the winter, it is undesirable to purchase liquid creams.

Nourishing creams deliver beneficial substances

A well-groomed female face, which is constantly nourished with creams, looks beautiful and attractive, as the skin uninterruptedly receives not only moisture, but also valuable microelements, vitamins, proteins, amino acids. Another property of nourishing creams is that its active ingredients help to improve metabolic processes in the skin at the cellular level. It is good if a cosmetic product combines a regenerating and stimulating effect.

What can be included in a nourishing face cream?

The non-emulsion base of the cream is represented by a mix of high-quality fats. For example, it is known that the skin best perceives vegetable fats such as lanolin, wax. Creams containing paraffin and petroleum jelly are also sold in cosmetic stores, but are not as effective.

Useful components of nourishing creams:

• vitamins A, D, C, E, F;
• collagen - a protein substance that is part of the human connective tissues;
• elastin - a protein of elastic consistency, designed to quickly restore the skin;
• hyaluronan - a substance that is part of the epithelium (may be referred to as hyaluronic acid);
• mineral salts (Mg, Zn, Ca);
• extracts of medicinal herbs that give softness and velvety to the skin (for example, today the demand for creams with ginseng extract, calendula does not fall);
• hormones - creams may contain a certain amount of hormonal components, this is harmless and helps to maintain a youthful face;
• mumiyo - a natural ingredient;
• in a night cream, the presence of regenerating particles is desirable;
• SPF protection is required in day cream;
• coenzyme Q;
• peptides;
• retinol;
• ceramides;
• lipids;
• proteins.

Nourishing cream with a composition thought out by experts is a universal care product that compensates for the lack of nutrients and creates a protective barrier.

Potentially harmful cream ingredients:

• aluminum silicate - brings the greatest harm to dry skin, as it dehydrates it;
• aluminum acetate - an additive that causes foci of peeling on the skin;
• bentonite - draws moisture from the entire thickness of the skin, so the face can become severely dry;
• mineral oil - creates blockage of pores, which is a suitable soil for acne;
• albumin - may be found in anti-aging products, but actually worsens the condition of mature or fading skin, fixing wrinkles on it.

Also, creams sometimes contain substances that cause allergies. If, after applying a new cosmetic product, irritation, rash, acne, redness are noticed, then you can not continue to use it, since you have intolerance to its components. To exclude a negative reaction of hypersensitive and allergy-prone skin, it is better to give preference to a pharmacy cream with hypoallergenic properties.

How to choose and apply a nourishing cream correctly?

It is worth paying attention that creams of white color or light shades, thick consistency work best on the skin. Really high-quality creams are light substances that do not clog pores and are instantly absorbed without discomfort. A fat cream can also be nutritious, but it is not suitable for everyone, but is shown mainly to women after 50 years of age or to owners of depleted, overdried skin.

When choosing a cream, it is imperative to build on the age of the woman and the type of her skin, since products for young skin are ineffective to use on a mature face, and anti-aging creams are not suitable for young girls.

It is worth noting that nourishing creams are also suitable for oily skin, but it is recommended to apply them for only half an hour, then remove them with a cotton swab with lotion so as not to increase the production of sebum.

Specialists in the field of cosmetology point out that women should not lubricate those areas of the face where hairs are localized with a nourishing cream. In the area of ​​the nose, cheeks, forehead, apply small portions of the cream, exercising moderate pressure or tapping.

In order to exclude the undesirable effect of addiction to the cream, which leads to a significant decrease in the nutritional effect, we recommend periodically changing care products.

How to choose the right face cream

A girl should use face cream from adolescence, and then change cosmetics throughout her life, depending on age-related changes and other factors. The skin has subtypes, the same care for everyone will be inappropriate. If you start using cosmetics suitable for your type as early as possible, it is realistic to maintain a young and flowering appearance without large investments until adulthood. To do this, it is important to choose a face cream that best suits your skin.

What are the types of skin

There are only 4 types of skin, determined by the amount of sebum secreted. Everything else is personal preference. So, the skin happens:
1) dry
2) normal
3) combined
4) oily

The easiest way to determine the type of skin is as follows: as soon as you wake up, blot your face with a regular paper towel. If there is a solid greasy mark on it, the skin is oily. If the T-zone is clearly marked, it is slightly imprinted on the chin and forehead, the skin is combination. A completely dry napkin indicates dry skin, but if barely noticeable traces are visible, the skin is normal. If you want to get a more accurate result, we recommend that you take a skin type test on our website from the American dermatologist Leslie Baumann.

Depending on the reaction to external influences, the skin can be:

1) elastic
2) sensitive
3) apathetic (sluggish)
4) pigmented

According to the degree of pigment concentration, the skin is:

1) white
2) swarthy
3) black

Depending on the age characteristics, the following skin problems occur:

1) comedones (black dots) closed and open
2) acne
3) blackheads (acne)
4) age spots
5) vascular reticulum, rosacea
6) mimic wrinkles
7) "crow's feet" in the corners of the eyes
8) small wrinkles
9) loss of turgor
10) dull complexion
11) peeling

Normal skin and skin care

Normal skin is extremely rare, only 6% of the world's population. Usually they say about its owner “blood with milk” due to the fact that the complexion is bright and even, the pinkish or beige undertone is evenly distributed over the entire surface. The skin practically does not get oily, it is always matte, but not dry. Up to 40 years, caring for her is simple and pleasant. It is enough to wash your face in the morning and evening, apply a moisturizer and occasionally pamper yourself with caring masks. Acne and comedones, dryness and tightness are unknown to normal skin. She does not need foundation and matting lipstick. In winter and summer, the skin looks equally good, does not experience stress.

With age, after 35, some changes are possible: the T-zone shines, peeling and dryness are noticeable on the cheeks. To avoid this, you should apply a moisturizer and make nourishing masks once a week. Sun protection is of great importance, because normal skin is delicate and thin, and UV radiation can lead to injury to the epidermis, the appearance of moles and age spots.

Owners of normal skin can be envied: they are unaware of the problems of most of the fair sex. They often neglect care, because their skin is perfectly self-renewing. Failure to care is fraught with the fact that with age, the skin will turn from normal to dry and sluggish. That is why we should not forget about comprehensive care, which is better to start from the age of 30-35.

Cleansing is best done not with a gel or foam for washing, but with cosmetic milk. You can use soap or cleanser 2-3 times a week. To stimulate blood circulation, it is enough to draw a piece of ice along the massage lines. After that, the face is blotted with a towel. They don't rub, they get wet. During the day, the face is rubbed with a cotton pad moistened with an alcohol-free herbal tonic. Alcohol dries out the epidermis and leads to peeling.

Normal skin needs moisture and nourishment. In the hot season (spring-summer), moistening is carried out in the morning, in the cold season - at night. In addition, in winter, nourishing creams should be added, which are applied to the face before going outside. Its main property is to compensate for the lack of vitamins and minerals, which are lacking especially acutely in winter. In addition to the prevention of vitamin deficiency, nutrients protect against wind and frost, heal wounds, and improve complexion. Owners of normal skin can be recommended to choose one of the following nourishing creams:

- Yves Rocher Nutritive Vegetal. Contains ash juice rich in vitamins. The cream has a light, delicate texture, so it does not overload normal skin and does not create the effect of a mask on the face. It is quickly absorbed, protects from frosts and blizzards.

- Pure Line Gentle nourishing cream with vitamin oil of sea buckthorn and rose hips. Suitable for normal and combination skin. Does not clog pores or cause breakouts.

- Bioplasma Night Cream Supreme. Israeli cream based on red algae is applied not only to the face, but also to the neck and décolleté. Renews the skin and eliminates pigmentation. The skin looks fresh and rested.

- nourishing cream Credo Natur from Dzintars. It has a dense texture, absorbs slowly, but at the same time nourishes and moisturizes well, creating a protective barrier at night. Prevents moisture loss in a dry room.

In the morning after washing, owners of normal skin should apply a moisturizer to the face and neck. Rested overnight skin is sufficiently nourished, it is ready for hydration and protection. Normal skin needs light texture creams, and products are suitable for this:

- NIVEA Aqua Effect. This is a moisturizing cream with a combination of glycerin and glucose, which allows you to retain moisture in the cells without losing it when it comes into contact with air. Vitamin E protects against exposure to exhaust gases, and a UV filter prevents exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which is active even in winter.

- Librederm with chamomile juice not only saturates with moisture, but also soothes, relieves redness and irritation from cold and wind. The gel consistency is quickly absorbed without clogging pores and does not provoke rosacea.

- Pure Line with aloe vera for normal skin is an excellent base for make-up. Does not leave a greasy sheen, absorbs quickly and does not contain mineral oils.

Oily skin and its care

Oily skin is found in 10% of the world's population. It has a lot of disadvantages: after washing after an hour, it secretes sebum, the face must be wiped almost every hour. Mattifying agents practically do not help. In severe cases, large pimples and comedones form, the face becomes covered with acne, unpleasantly shiny. If the skin is thick, pores are clearly visible on it, which are easily forgotten by secreted fat and keratinized particles and become inflamed. This is why cleansing is just as important as nutrition and hydration.

The oily skin of teenagers who experience colossal hormonal storms and the thin oily skin of an adult woman should be cleansed. In both cases, care is performed differently, despite the same type of skin.

Teenagers need to select creams designed for oily and problem skin. They contain salicylic acid, which eliminates the fatty film on the face. The most effective teenage creams are:

- Garnier for acne "Clear Skin" eliminates not only acne, but also traces of them. effectively helps together with other products of the series, is affordable.

- Floresan cream dries inflammation, reduces greasiness, prevents the growth of bacteria.

- Clearasil cream contains allantoin, which ensures the maintenance of an optimal level of hydration. Salicylic acid fights acne, kaolin eliminates oily sheen. It has a strong effect, not suitable for combination skin.

- Vichy Normaderm based on zinc and thermal water normalizes the fat balance and acidity of the epidermis.

- Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions 3-Step Fragrance & Oil Free helps in the shortest possible time to restore the fat balance of the skin, eliminate acne and exfoliate dead skin cells.

Usually oily skin normalizes after the end of puberty, and by the age of 22 it becomes combination or normal. If the fat content does not normalize, then you can reassure yourself that this type of skin ages late and is practically not covered with wrinkles. However, you don’t need to let it drift and wait for everything to work out by itself. If you start competent care in adolescence, you can prolong youth by 10-15 years.

Oily skin in adults is also not uncommon. However, you should not use potent products with salicylic acid and zinc, so as not to dry out the epidermis and not cause premature wrinkles. Oily skin needs a base for make-up, because powder or foundation, mixed with sebaceous secretions, loses its matting properties and “floats”. Mattifying cream contains components that eliminate oily sheen and regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands. Do not forget about moisturizing, without which the skin will begin to fade, and a network of wrinkles will appear.

The best mattifying products for oily skin include the following:

- Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. Clinique Gel is the final step in a 3-step skin care routine that includes soap and exfoliating toner. Using all three products at the same time, you can get rid of the oily sheen characteristic of spring and summer on the face. A neutral liquid soap will open the pores, an exfoliating lotion will remove dead skin particles and fat from the sebaceous tubules, and a cream will replenish lost moisture, soften and maintain an optimal level of epidermal acidity.

- Yves Rocher Sebo Vegetal. The series consists of a complex of products based on birch tar and white clay. The cream is suitable for thin skin prone to oiliness. Does not violate the natural balance, slightly dries without tightening, reduces pores. Suitable for humid climates.

Faberlic Young. Mattifying cream, very inexpensive and effective. Perfectly mattifies, tightens pores, makes the complexion “highlighted”. A wonderful product, if only for a few “buts”: it contains silicones and generally does not have the most natural composition. It is definitely not suitable for allergy sufferers, but it will cope with the stated task, matting, by 100%.

- Crème Matifiante by Payot. Absolutely natural, therefore rather expensive moisturizing cream with a matting effect. Green coffee extract removes toxins that cause blockage of the sebaceous tubules. Corn starch absorbs sebum, eliminating the formation of a mask on the face. The cream leaves a feeling of cleanliness and freshness for a long time.

Dry skin and its care

Dry skin is the most problematic in the sense that it fades and wrinkles first of all. In youth, up to 25 years old, dry skin looks luxurious: it is delicate, porcelain, its oily sheen, acne and black spots are unknown. But by the age of 28, such a girl without proper care has crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, her skin fades and loses its tone.
