All about facial fluids

Fluid for the face is a great alternative to the usual cream. The regular use of a multifunctional product provides high-quality skin care.

The unusual name “facial fluid” generally means ordinary cream, but its lightweight variety. This cosmetics successfully copes with the main tasks of care, but differs from the cream in a more airy consistency and quick absorption of the skin. This tool is suitable for everyday care. The composition of the viscous substance includes fat-free gel or water, as well as a variety of active substances.

The minimum amount of oil promotes rapid absorption, but does not provoke the appearance of greasy luster. Typically, the active phase contains essential oils, vitamins and minerals, plant extracts, hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin. The presence of a component in the composition is determined by the formula patented by the manufacturer. Some components of a cosmetic product are even kept secret.

After applying it is enough to wait a couple of minutes, and you can already move on to makeup. The substance is easy to apply and neatly distributed over the surface. The product is suitable for the care of any type of skin, and a large number of moisturizing components maintain cellular water balance. Fluid perfectly manifests itself in hot weather, as it does not clog pores and does not “oily” the face. The substances present in the composition regulate the release of sebum, which means that they make the surface of the dermis more matte.

Cream fluid can be used as a basis for makeup, since the substance is completely absorbed, leaving no sticky film. Moreover, owners of oily and mixed skin are even recommended to use fluids instead of conventional creams. The product is suitable for use by women of any age.
