Meetings, deadlines, the fast pace of life – we are so busy that there is little time left for skin care. But there is good news: we know how to properly dispose of them in order to look perfect.
1. Remember the word “concentrate”
And not just remember, but put a bottle with the appropriate inscription on a shelf in the bathroom. Due to the high content of nutrients and high-tech formula, the concentrate gives a noticeable result immediately after the start of use.
It is necessary to use the concentrate in a course: for example, for two months every six months.

Due to the high content of nutrients and high-tech formula, the concentrate acts quickly, and gives a noticeable result immediately after the start of use.
Boosters and ampoule cosmetics work on the same principle (innovative components, instant effect, application in a course). They stimulate internal processes aimed at the renewal of skin cells, and even affect the genes of youth.
Antioxidant youth concentrate LiftActiv, Vichy
A real “Molotov cocktail” against free radicals. Their occurrence is inevitable as a result of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, unfavorable environmental conditions, as a result of smoking (including passive), stress. The record content of vitamin C (15%), as well as vitamin E, pine polyphenols and neohesperidin neutralize the negative effect of these factors, leaving the skin fresh, radiant, rested.
You will notice a reduction in wrinkles and an increase in elasticity after 10 days of use.
How to use: Warm up 4-5 drops of the product in the palm of your hand and apply to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes.

turn the cap until it clicks;
shake the bottle so that the color of the product becomes uniform;

2. Don’t forget to exfoliate
One of the most important steps in skin care is exfoliation. Creams of the latest generation have an exfoliating effect due to the acids included in the composition and complement the action of special products.
Moisturizing gel for an even tone and smooth skin texture Brightening and Smoothing Moisture Treatment, Kiehl’s
The main active ingredients are vitamin C and glycolic acid. The first improves complexion, the second evens out. Birch extract strengthens the regenerative potential of the skin, peony extract evens out the tone. It provides powerful 24/7 hydration, fights pigmentation and has a comfortable texture – non-sticky and non-greasy.
What to consider when using.
Apply twice daily to clean, slightly moisturized skin.
If you use the gel on sunny days, apply a cream with SPF on top, because the AHA acid in the composition can increase the skin’s susceptibility to ultraviolet radiation.

3. Take care of your skin at night
While we sleep, the skin, not burdened with stress, works. At night, renewal processes are especially active, and to enhance them, apply a night care product an hour and a half before going to bed.

4. Use makeup base
Serum is an ideal product if you are concerned about some problems: the skin has lost its tone, it began to look lifeless and dull, the foundation does not fit well. With the last problem, a product that performs the role of both serum and makeup base will perfectly cope.

Using fingertips, spread the product over the face, working first on problem areas, and then on the entire surface.
Let it soak.

5. Take care of hydration 24/7
The lack of moisture in the body primarily affects the skin, which looks uneven due to dehydration wrinkles.
To fight them, you need to drink enough water (1,5-2 liters per day), get enough sleep and regularly care for your face.
Incorporate a moisturizing pre-makeup spray into your routine.

Apply 4-5 drops to the palm of your hand, spread over the face.
Once the gel is absorbed, apply a moisturizer with SPF.
6. Buy a moisturizing spray
Have you noticed that the foundation does not go on smoothly and rolls, and the corrector emphasizes wrinkles? Most likely, the cream and serum need an assistant. Include a pre-makeup spray in your care — it moisturizes and soothes the skin, makes it supple, and fixes decorative cosmetics.
