Care cosmetics: varieties and tips for choosing

Recently, the phrase “leaving cosmetics” has appeared in everyday life. To understand what it is, what are its varieties and how to choose the right skin care cosmetics, this article will help.

It’s much more familiar to hear “caring cosmetics”, but using the concept of “care” is a marketing step that makes you pay attention, get to know, study, and then buy cosmetics.

Cosmetics as a whole includes several sections: means and methods for improving appearance (decorative); methods and means for the care of hair, nails, the oral cavity, as well as the skin of the face, hands, body and legs. Everything that does not apply to decorative cosmetics is called a care product. It performs several functions:

• improves the appearance of the skin;
• levels roughness;
• bleaches;
• cleanses makeup and natural impurities;
• struggles with diseases like acne;
• supports and rejuvenates the skin;
• protects against ultraviolet radiation.

How often you can and should apply cosmetics depends on what the drug is: creams for home use, professional hardware procedures in a medical center or youth injections in a beauty salon.

The pros and cons of each cosmetic product can be determined by several parameters.

• Attractiveness - the first thing that catches our eye. The design of the packaging, bottle, tube, jar sometimes plays a decisive role and affects the price. For example, 7 Days cosmetics will definitely interest girls and attract attention.
• Structure - this is what older consumers pay attention to first of all. In order for the tool to perform its functions, not many ingredients are used. But to keep it, to have a pleasant aroma, texture, not to be electrified (we are talking about shampoos), not to delaminate - the composition includes components that are not directly related to body care. The presence of preservatives in the composition scares many people, but without them, the product can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 7 days. Therefore, you need to pay attention not to the presence of preservatives, but to their number: cosmetics with a shelf life of 6 months have fewer preservatives than the one that is stored for 3 years.
• Action taken - this is what we use caring cosmetics for. The obvious advantages include improving the condition of the skin, its appearance. The obvious disadvantages are material investments and time spent.
• An important role will be played by what category the product belongs to - for home use or salon. Mesotherapy and biorevitalization will have a profound effect on the inner layers of the skin - the dermis. The advantage of such procedures is a long-lasting effect and a clear improvement in the skin condition through the use of funds with acids (hyaluronic and nucleic). There may be many shortcomings: painful injections, contraindications for use, inability to visit the pool and sauna after the procedures for some time, high price. Nevertheless, many brands create drugs in the form of injections, including for young skin. For example, French Laboratoires Filorga.
• Despite the fact that not all cosmetologists recognize the concept "Anti-aging cosmetics", tools for anti-aging changes exist. Their goal is to rejuvenate the skin. But at the same time, do not forget about the minus: to maintain the effect, such care products must be used regularly.

There are several criteria by which cosmetic products can be attributed to different varieties. Information on this must be contained on the packaging.

All skin care products They are divided into several types according to their effect.

• Cleansers They remove makeup, impurities and dead cells.
• Tonic restore PH balance and carry out deeper cleansing. This is a very important stage of care, which is not always paid due attention to. As a result, skin that is not ready to moisturize and nourish may turn red and become rash.
• Moisturizing not only saturate the skin with moisture, but also keep it there. It is important to choose funds not only by skin condition, but also by season.
• Feeding help moisturizers to retain moisture, soften the skin and provide it with useful trace elements and vitamins.
• Protective help in the fight against ultraviolet rays, which age the skin and cause its disease.
• Anti age will help in the fight against wrinkles, tighten the contours of the face, make the skin supple.
• Whitening funds will help in the fight against age spots.

On many sites you can find tests that will help determine the type of skin: oily, combination, dry, problematic, sensitive. But many cosmetologists say that the division into types is not right, because depending on the external and internal conditions, the skin can change.

In addition to functional species separation, cosmetics are divided into different types depending on the composition. It can be classic, natural (organic, vegetable, mineral). According to the French Ecocert standard, the production of natural cosmetics is a whole philosophy.

Natural caring cosmetics should not contain mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, dyes, paraffin and petroleum jelly, GMOs, phenoxyethanol and parabens. 95% of the products should consist of natural ingredients. Moreover, if there is an inscription "made on a plant basis", then such a tool does not apply to organic products. Before you - cosmetics with petroleum products. Mineral makeup is a natural product with ground minerals.

The farther, the more new forms of cosmetics appear. But most often there are such.

• For surface cleansing: solid or liquid soap, gel, milk, foam. All products remove makeup and natural impurities, soothe the skin. Suitable for daily use.
• Scrub, peeling, gommage - means for deep cleansing. Moreover, gommage is suitable for sensitive skin, because it contains the smallest scrub particles. They are suitable for use 2-3 times a week or according to the recommendations indicated on the package.
• Lotion or tonic applied after superficial or deep cleansing. Funds relieve irritation and inflammation, prepare the skin for moisturizing and nourishing products.
• Creams, masks, lip balm - The most popular moisturizing and nutritional products. They saturate the skin with moisture and hold it, nourishing vitamins and nutrients.
• Serums and Creams with SPF perform protective functions.

The packaging material is another clue what kind of product is in front of you.

Otherwise, there are a lot of forms:

• metal and laminate tubes;
• plastic and glass jars for cream;
• plastic or glass bottles;
• biodegradable plastic foams or recycled materials;
• doy-packs;
• sachet;
• dispensers (dispensers) in plastic or glass.

From the foregoing, it is easy to conclude that skincare cosmetics can be designed for daily care, therapeutic (if necessary), professional (on the recommendation of a cosmetologist).

Perhaps it is impossible to determine the best brand, brand, company. After all, what is good for one does not fit the other. For example, among professional makeup products, the first place in the ranking took Israeli brand Christina. This cosmetics is recognized as the most effective.

French Clarins took second place for the most natural composition.

Israeli brand recognized as best anty-age line Holy land.

Among new firms - Russian Tan Masterspecializing in professional body cosmetics for all ages.

American Clinique Laboratories - This is a guarantee of hypoallergenicity. The company specializes in the production of fragrance-free dermatological care cosmetics line, offering a 3-step system of skin care: cleansing, exfoliation, moisturizing.

Koreans try to catch them, but firms are developing in different directions. Australian cosmetics - this is the highest quality of raw materials, the versatility of natural components, a high level of antioxidant protection. If you want to get involved in natural cosmetics, pay attention to Australian UltraCeuticals, A'kin.

Nivea - German brand, widely known in Russia. Inexpensive products for the care of the skin of the face, body and hands, hair are in great demand. It was this brand that first proposed cosmetics for men.

Among Russian manufacturers, there are brands specializing in professional, elite and generally available cosmetics.

Trademark Gloria offers professional means for shugaring (for SPA-salons and at home). And these are just a few brands. And there is plenty to choose from.

Before you buy any personal care products, determine the set of necessary cosmetics for yourself. Depending on the age, it will be very different. But without fail it should contain:

• day cream;
• night cream;
• hand cream;
• makeup remover.

By and large, these creams can also be used to care for the body or heels. For this purpose, children's cosmetics or vegetable oil are suitable. But if there is a desire and an opportunity, then why not pick up a good set using the list that we gave above.

Those who have the opportunity to use the services of cosmetologists start using anty-age cosmetics early enough. If it is possible to carry out anti-aging procedures only at home, then it is worth taking timely care of the purchase of professional products. Depending on the individual characteristics of the body, someone will have to do this at 25 years old, and someone at 45.

Many girls seek the advice of a beautician, and then independently collect the sets. This is especially important if you are going on a vacation where there will be no opportunity to purchase your favorite funds: in the mountains, on a hike, on the sea. Do not forget about creams with SPF filters!

When choosing your favorite cosmetic products, do not forget that:

• in mass markets at a low price, shallow-action cosmetics are sold;
• medical cosmetics are sold in specialized stores and pharmacies;
• purchase luxury cosmetics only in branded boutiques to avoid fakes;
• Professional cosmetics does not fight with signs, but with reasons, so it is the most effective.
