Composition of nourishing creams

The main characters are oils. Primarily:

They simultaneously moisturize and nourish the skin, saturate it with active substances, transform and rejuvenate. Vitamins are often added to winter care products.

In addition, an effective nourishing cream may contain:

Principle of operation

Nutrients create a protective film on the skin. Fats and oils bind and retain moisture, preventing the penetration of bacteria. At the same time, active ingredients (plant extracts, vitamins, lanolin, beeswax) can work at a deeper level.

Efficiency

Many people think that a nourishing cream is needed only in the cold season. In vain! Vitamins do not accumulate in the body, and the lack of nutrients instantly affects the condition of the skin, it becomes dry and dull. To prevent this from happening, appropriate funds should be included in the care program all year round. Here’s what nutritional cosmetics do:

Types of nourishing facial cosmetics

All cosmetic companies produce funds from this category. Most often it is creams, masks or oils.

Cream

It is believed that during the day the skin needs more moisture, and at night it needs nourishment, so most nourishing creams are night creams. As a rule, they are applied 1-1,5 hours before bedtime.

For oily, acne-prone skin, we recommend products labeled “non-comedogenic”. A cream that is too thick in consistency can clog pores, making it difficult for the skin to breathe. This is fraught with the appearance of acne, puffiness, bags under the eyes.

How to apply a nourishing cream? Here is a short guide.

Mask

In the evening, 1-2 hours before bedtime, you can use a nourishing mask, then at night the renewal processes will be more active. Beauticians advise alternating moisturizing and nourishing masks. But the latter, due to the high concentration of active substances, are not recommended to be used more often 1-2 times a week.

Which mask to choose depends on the type of skin.

Oil

Oils tend to have a very high concentration of nutrients and should not be used more than once or twice a week unless the instructions for use indicate otherwise.

How to choose nourishing cosmetics

Many people think that they start using nourishing cosmetics “at the age”, that is, not earlier than 35. In fact, these products should be included in care from the age of 25, and some areas of the skin (forehead, nasolabial folds) can be nourished even earlier.

Be that as it may, use nourishing cosmetics, taking into account the age, condition and individual requirements of the skin.
