Low quality tap water, the use of aggressive chemical components, and frequent tanning treatments worsen the condition of the skin. Cosmetology companies offer special creams to relieve irritation and moisturize. In addition, there are remedies to get rid of cellulite. Do they really help? Let's try to figure it out in more detail. Let's look at the list of the most popular body creams based on consumer reviews.

Anti-cellulite body creams

Plant extracts - ivy, St. John's wort, horsetail, and so on - are added to such body products. The action is aimed at enhancing metabolism in problem areas. Seaweeds (fucus, kelp) are also used as a source of vitamins. According to manufacturing companies, such components additionally remove waste and toxins from the body. To stimulate the formation of new cells, vitamins of categories A, B, C, E are added to the cream.

Body moisturizer is a cosmetic product for normalizing lipid balance, increasing the protective functions of the epidermis, and ensuring a healthy state. Lack of moisture in the cells leads to dryness of the epidermis, sagging, and the appearance of wrinkles. One of the most important products in a woman’s cosmetic bag.

The ideal cream - what should not be in the composition

Every year modern cosmetic brands try to surprise women with new products and offer unique products. It is almost impossible to determine a safe, effective drug by color, consistency, or smell. But you can have an idea of ​​its capabilities after studying the composition.

Even expensive cosmetics from popular brands contain components that harm the skin and disrupt natural processes. After prolonged use or abrupt withdrawal of the drug, the condition of the skin significantly worsens. To avoid troubles in the future, you should pay attention to the presence of harmful components in the composition.

You should not buy a moisturizer if it contains:

1. propolene glycol;
2. mineral oil;
3. lauryl sulfate;
4. silicones;
5. paraffin and its oils;
6. glycerol;
7. petrolatum.

Manufacturers often include the latter components in the list of safe, natural ones. Women associate their effect with instant, intense hydration. Natural homemade creams are prepared using these substances. However, such components should be avoided.

Glycerin and petroleum jelly create an airtight film on the surface of the skin, which prevents moisture from leaving the cells. They simply don’t let it out and don’t let oxygen in. When the air humidity in the environment is less than 65%, the components begin to draw moisture from the cells, leading to drying and thinning of the epidermis, disrupting natural processes.

The best cream - composition features

A high-quality cosmetic product has an organic, safe composition. The moisturizing effect of the product is based on the presence of:

1. plant extracts;
2. hoods;
3. oils;
4. hyaleronic acid;
5. natural collagen;
6. urea;
7. vitamin E;
8. thermal water.

In the list of components, substances with the maximum share in the total composition are located at the top, and the minimum at the bottom. When choosing a body moisturizer, you should definitely pay attention to the expiration date, skin characteristics, and age.
