Hydration

The main task of such formulas is to supply moisture to the skin, retain it and form a protective film on the surface of the epidermis that prevents water from evaporating. How to choose the perfect moisturizer? Consider your skin type, as well as its condition and needs, which may vary depending on the time of year.

In our world, facial skin care products have become so popular that not a single woman can imagine life without them! Since ancient times, ladies have been tirelessly engaged in plucking, tinting, extensions and other pleasant and beneficial procedures for their appearance. The face occupies a special place, because it “absolutely gives away” information about a woman - age, lifestyle, mood. Clean, smooth, youthful and elastic facial skin is the desire of many women around the world.

But how to choose the right product for a particular woman in the modern kaleidoscope of cosmetic products? After all, improperly organized care can ruin the condition of delicate skin. In order to prevent a detailed unpleasant situation, you need to have information about modern skin care products.

Types of facial care products

Facial care products are divided into several types, depending on their functionality, price range, composition and type of skin they are designed to take care of.

Functional care products

Depending on the main tasks performed, facial care products have the following positive effects:

1. cleaning;
2. rejuvenating;
3. exfoliating;
4. nutritious;
5. moisturizing;
6. restorative;
7. tightening

Independently or together with a cosmetologist, a woman determines what specific products she needs. This could be a face cream, a face wash, a serum for the skin around the eyes, and so on. It is quite possible that a specialist will recommend using a set of products - for example, an exfoliating scrub and a moisturizing face cream, and so on.

From pennies to many thousands - prices for facial care products

Most women can and love to take care of their face. But the budget of the fair sex is usually different. Not every woman can afford an expensive cream based on orchid or silk. Understanding psychology and taking into account the different financial capabilities of different women, cosmetic corporations create products for different ages and wallets. This is how inexpensive cosmetics brands (the so-called mass market and middle market) and high-end luxury products appeared on the market. Additionally, professional and pharmacy types of cosmetics are produced.

Mass market. Products that, in addition to cosmetic effects, significantly save the family budget. The cost of such products usually does not exceed $10 per unit.

Media market. Presented with mid-range facial care products. They contain a solid portion of natural ingredients. The cost of such products varies from 15 to 30 dollars per unit.

Luxury class (premium). Cosmetics of this class are considered high quality because they are created according to unique recipes and formulas. The cost of these facial skin care products starts at $30.

This is interesting! There are no Russian representatives among the world representatives of premium/luxury cosmetics. During the heyday of the Soviet Union, little attention was paid to this issue and modern cosmetologists do not have unique developments that came from the past. It is quite possible that in the next few years this situation will be corrected and Russian cosmetics will take a confident place among foreign competitors in this area.

What's inside? Composition of facial cosmetics

In addition to gradation by functionality and price, cosmetics for women are also classified by composition. Based on the main number of components, care products can be divided into plant, oxygen, mineral and cellular.

Herbal (natural cosmetics)

It’s easy to guess from the name that the main composition of such cosmetics is entirely natural plant ingredients. All the power of nature in the form of extracts of herbs, berries and fruits is concentrated in herbal cosmetics. Such products are unlikely to help get rid of serious skin problems. But they do an excellent job of moisturizing, nourishing and softening the dermis.

Mineral

A huge advantage is the absence of talc, alcohol, parabens, dyes, fragrances and other harmful substances. Instead, all the power of natural minerals is concentrated in cosmetics. Due to their effect, facial skin becomes elastic, moisturized and radiant.

Oxygen

Specially developed cosmetic preparations are equipped with hard-working molecules capable of delivering oxygen to the deepest layers of the dermis. Thus, these invisible “couriers” allow the skin to “breathe”, normalize metabolic processes and help eliminate fine wrinkles.

Cellular

The main component of this series of products is embryonic cell materials. Such samples are highly expensive and are considered very good, even the best, cosmetics for the face.

Attention! All samples of cosmetics claiming to be cellular must be labeled cellular.

Facial care products by skin type

It is difficult to imagine complete facial care without taking into account your skin type. After all, cosmetics suitable for dry skin can worsen the condition of oily dermis and vice versa. Taking these points into account, experts develop the necessary products for caring for various types of facial skin.

Currently, a number of cosmetic products for facial care are produced, taking into account the type of dermis:

1. for oily skin;
2. for dry and dry skin;
3. for combination skin;
4. for normal skin;
5. for sensitive skin;
6. for problem skin;
7. for teenage skin;
8. for aging skin.

The variety of products is amazing and at the same time makes it possible to choose the best option for a particular woman.

Cosmetic preparations for facial skin

Cosmetics for facial skin care are not limited only to functionality, price range and taking into account skin type. They can also mask facial defects and serve for daily, systematic use. They distinguish decorative and skincare cosmetics.

Decorative products

For facial skin:

1. basis (base);
2. Foundation;
3. concealer;
4. corrector;
5. highlighter;
6. powder.

Important! Decorative cosmetics for the face must be of high quality. The selected product should not have an expired expiration date. Choose decorative cosmetics very carefully. To better understand which products to choose, you can consult a professional makeup artist.

Facial care products

Proper facial skin care consists of using basic sets of cosmetics.

These include:

1. makeup remover cosmetics (hydrophilic oil, foams, gels, milk, micellar water);
2. products for washing (foams, milk, gels);
3. lotions/tonics;
4. scrubs/peelings;
5. serums;
6. creams;
7. thermal water.

The main stages of daily care are removing makeup, washing, applying toner and cream. If you have any difficulties with the choice, you can contact a specialist in the field of dermatology regarding the selection of effective and efficient products.

Pharmacy cosmetics for facial skin care

Pharmacy cosmetics include both makeup products and drugs that create a healing effect. Teenage skin problems, uneven dermis color, acne, acne, post-acne and other facial imperfections can be eliminated using similar products. Recognized as very effective in cosmetology, pharmacy cosmetics are designed not to mask skin imperfections, but to get rid of them. The best natural ingredients in pharmaceutical products allow you to fight skin imperfections not only on the external level, but also eliminate problems inside the body.

Pharmacy cosmetics are completely free of preservatives, fragrances, parabens and other harmful chemicals. The disadvantages of such funds include the relatively high price of the products. In addition, ointment, gel or cream purchased at the pharmacy may upset the new owner with a not very pleasant smell. The therapeutic effect is usually not achieved immediately and requires some time.

Facial care using traditional recipes

A colorful kaleidoscope of cosmetic products saves a lot of time on such a procedure as facial care. But despite all the effectiveness of such products, you should not neglect folk beauty recipes. By combining store-bought skincare products and homemade natural products, you can achieve amazing results. The main condition is that you need to care for them using the best, freshest and hypoallergenic products. When caring for your face using folk recipes, it is permissible to use:

1. cosmetics for daily cleansing of facial skin (honey, kefir, milk, cucumber lotion, rose water);
2. scrubbing (honey, coffee, sugar);
3. moisturizing facial masks (with peach, cucumber, honey, aloe);
4. nourishing oil masks for the skin around the eyes (based on peach, almond, coconut oils).

Additionally, you can use steam baths by pouring boiling water over dried herbs (chamomile, plantain, lavender). Rubbing your face with ice cubes every morning has an amazing tonic effect.

The best facial skin care products are represented by the following brands:

Reviews

I had demodex, which left me with bumps and depressions. I do homemade peels with acids, alternating between salicylic and boric. Over six months of procedures, the relief has noticeably improved, while the skin does not dry out, and the complexion has evened out.

After 40, sagging appeared, deep nasolabial wrinkles and the forehead area made me look older. I decided to try Curiosin gel, I used it for about a month on the advice of a friend. It doesn’t give any noticeable results, the skin is moisturized, nothing more. For rejuvenation, you will have to look for more effective means.

For the skin around the eyes when there is lack of sleep, I use Enterosgel. But only as an express remedy to quickly remove signs of fatigue and swelling. And I constantly use gels and patches for support.
