What creams are there?

- Application area: for face, hands, feet, body.
- Consistencies: regular, cream-milk, gel, cream-fluid, cream-powder.
- Age: after 25/35/55/65 years.
Our review will tell you about nourishing creams for different body parts, skin types and time of day.
Why do you need a nourishing cream for the winter?
The surface of our body contains lipids - fats and fat-like substances. Their task:
- Maintain the balance of hormones and vitamins;
- Isolate the skin from the cold;
- Push off excess moisture;
- Serve as a structure of cell membranes.
Nutritious cosmetic products just make up for the lack of lipids in the skin. What happens if you do not fight lipid deficiency, that is, do not nourish the skin?
The body surface will become loose, less elastic, with a dry stratum corneum and fine wrinkles. In addition, dehydration will be observed, or, in simple terms, dehydration. The addition of toxins and bacteria to such a cover will cause eczema, acne and dermatitis. Too frequent washing with low-quality products, prolonged exposure to the sun or in a solarium, temperature changes can provoke a lipid deficiency. It is the latter reason that makes nourishing creams especially relevant in winter.
How to choose a cream? Criterias of choice
In order not to make mistakes when choosing a cream, you should not rely only on the cost of cosmetics. Their functionality is what matters.
Consider six main criteria:
The first thing to look at is the difference between a nourishing cream and a moisturizer. For some reason, buyers often confuse them, believing that they have the same properties and characteristics. The first - saturates with the necessary substances, acts as a barrier from an aggressive environment, partially moisturizes and softens the body. The second one basically only moisturizes.
The second thing we are looking at is the expiration date.Whatever the declared qualities of the cosmetic in question, when the storage time expires, you cannot buy it.
The third is the composition of the product. Our goal is not to translate all the Latin in the composition into Russian, but to find the stop ingredients. These include:
- Mineral oils (have pore clogging properties). You can find them by the following designations: mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin wax, or their synonyms, such as white mineral oil mist or liquid paraffin;
- Bentonite, aluminum silicate (dry skin). Designated as Bentonite and Aluminum silicate, respectively;
- Parabens (accumulate in the body, mutate cells, enhance the effect of UV rays, are prohibited during pregnancy - and this is not a complete list). How to find: E214, E216, E218, E219. We try to find products labeled “paraben free”;
- Albumin - whatever the advertising of the advantages of this ingredient, practice shows that Albumin accelerates the aging process of body cells;
- Aluminum acetate - can cause flaking of the skin.
The fourth is the packaging of the cosmetic product. The choice should be based on the principle: the less oxygen access to the contents, the better. We also prefer glass instead of plastic. We conclude that the best packaging is a glass bottle or a jar with a dispenser.
Fifth - product brand and description. This does not mean that popular models of cosmetic products are of higher quality than an uncommon product. Paying attention to the brand, we get a minimum guarantee that we will not be deceived by the words on the label, so we should trust first of all companies with many years of experience. The best manufacturers of cosmetic and skin care products today are concentrated in countries such as:
- France (the best decorative cosmetics);
- Belarus (the best price for products with a natural composition);
- Russia (best value for money);
- Korea (the best cosmetic innovations).
Sixth - advice and customer reviews. They can be found on the Internet or heard from friends. Asking a sales assistant what is the best product to buy is not exactly what we need.
Sellers can fulfill a sales plan for a specific brand or specifically sell products from a specific price segment.
We see that focusing only on the price of a product is a big mistake, since the criteria considered above should be the priority.
