First Time: New September

The first autumn month, although it turned out to be cool and rainy, turned out to be generous with new skin care products that cannot be ignored. Meet the first autumn favorites.

Oil Shield UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50, SkinCeuticals

About the importance of protection from the sun both at sea and in the city, and not only in the hot, but also in the cool months, we have written more than once. However, reliable UV protection is not the only advantage of the new creation of the SkinCeuticals cosmeceutical brand, which has long gained a whole army of fans around the world.

With sunscreens, everything is clear, protection is offered high – SPF 50. What else attracted the novelty? The cream should be appreciated by the owners of oily skin, as it pleasantly mattes the face for almost the whole day. However, the new product can be used by those who have normal or combination skin types.

In general, I love SkinCeuticals brand products, and this seemed to me an ideal option for every day. The cream has a very nice light texture. As soon as it hits the skin, it is instantly absorbed, leaving a feeling of softness, velvety and an incredible feeling of comfort. To be sure, I would advise applying the product in a thin layer over the main care, especially if you plan to spend a lot of time on the street (in the country or while walking on the weekend). But I don’t see the point of “wearing” it at home – the sun doesn’t shine. The cream is perfectly combined with makeup, does not provoke a rolling tone. In general, if you evaluate Oil Shield UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50, then this is definitely five out of five.

Sun lotion Pure Shots UV Defender, YSL Beauty

When we received YSL Beauty’s Pure Shots UV Defender for testing, we were a bit puzzled. Outside the window is autumn, there will be more and more gloomy and rainy days, and we are offered another sunscreen lotion? Friends, in fact, everything is obvious: a conscious attitude to appearance is a trend, the relevance of which is gaining momentum. Skin care is based on taking care of yourself, preserving youth and beauty. Cosmetic brands clearly follow these trends, relying on scientific works.

For example, according to a recent study conducted in Japan, supported by YSL Beauty and published in a scientific journal, a major factor in urban aging is exposure to solar radiation on the skin of the face. The study involved Japanese women of different ages, studied the relationship between attitudes to sun exposure and skin quality. It turned out that women who do not consider it necessary to protect their skin from sunlight, by the age of 20, more pronounced signs of photoaging appear than those who are more careful about the sun. This is in Japan. But we are all the same. Living in a fast-paced urban rhythm anywhere on our planet negatively affects the condition of the skin: it is exposed to the harmful effects of UV rays, pollution and dust. All this to a greater or lesser extent accelerates the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation and impairs skin respiration.

To have such a lotion on a shelf in the bathroom does not hurt anyone. Moreover, it is so light and weightless, has such a pleasant, unobtrusive citrus aroma that it is a pleasure to use it. The tube with an elongated applicator allows you to apply the product directly to the skin. Liquid lotion is instantly absorbed, and the face immediately becomes smooth. By the way, this is a great base for make-up.

Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, Kiehl’s

Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Cream is relatively new, but for fans of the brand, its release is a significant event, as it became one of eight products included in the Heritage Campaign limited edition, dedicated to the 170th anniversary of the brand. The composition still features beta-carotene, avocado oil and shea butter. Only the packaging has changed – it has become more elegant and festive.

Personally, I always expect a magical effect from the eye cream: I applied it to the skin, and all the “crow’s feet” disappeared. It is not difficult to guess that this is an expectation from the realm of fantasy. However, after trying Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, I was pleasantly surprised.

The texture is beyond praise: it is well absorbed, immediately moisturizes the area around the eyes and, most importantly, does not roll or spread. The feeling that the wrinkles and the truth have become less noticeable. You can try to apply the cream as liquid eye patches: apply a thick layer and leave for 15 minutes, and then blot the rest with a napkin. I really liked this trick – dark circles became not so bright, and the skin around the eyes seemed to tighten up. I definitely recommend this cream to anyone who laughs a lot and who has active facial expressions.

Highly concentrated sheet masks, Garnier

Raise your hand, who doesn’t love masks? I love them and try to use them whenever possible. The effect of them, in my experience, is visible immediately. That is why, as soon as brand new fabric masks from Garnier arrived at the editorial office, I immediately took a mask with a watermelon for testing. It attracted the fact that it has a tightening effect and improves skin tone.

The mask is enclosed in individual packaging, and upon opening it became obvious that it is literally bathed in life-giving moisture. This is always good, because the excess can be applied to the neck and décolleté.

The result did not disappoint. The mask does not flow down the face, it keeps well, even if at this time you dry your hair with a hairdryer. The package says that five minutes is enough to achieve the result, but I decided to walk with it a little longer and even managed to make coffee. The skin after the mask is perfectly moisturized, to the touch – soft, toned, alive. Honestly, it was even a pity to apply makeup afterwards. I think that a set of such masks is good to have on hand as an additional care.
