After reading this article, you will understand why packaging with a built-in applicator is good. It’s not just about convenience.
Why you need a built-in applicator
Bottles and tubes of cosmetics are equipped with a built-in applicator, not for the sake of a spectacular design. Some categories of products are actually better applied with a special tool. The built-in applicator is most often used:
for cosmetics of narrowly targeted action;
for products requiring spot application.
Such products have several other advantages.
Special packaging. Formulas are reliably protected from light and air, which means they are more stable and retain their properties longer.
Hygiene If you apply the cream with your fingers, there is a risk of introducing bacteria into the jar.
Convenience. Applicators are designed to make life easier. Their shape and design do not raise questions from consumers who intuitively use it correctly, without any instructions.
Types of applicators and an overview of cosmetics
Roller
In fact, this is a metal ball (sometimes there are several of them), which, rolling, evenly distributes the product over the surface of the skin, at the same time gently massaging it. In addition, it has a cooling effect. You will find roller applicators for eye creams:
to combat dark circles and puffiness;
against wrinkles around the eyes.
BB-roller around the eyes “The secret of perfection”, Garnier with Haloxyl moisturizes the skin of the eyelids and combats all known signs of fatigue. Mineral pigments merge with the skin and give it a radiant, rested look. One package is enough for 150 applications.
Moisturizing gel for skin care around the eyes Énergie De Vie, Lancôme instantly gives a charge of vivacity and freshness, cooling the epidermis by 2,8 degrees. While the ball massages the skin, an energy cocktail of lemon balm, ginseng and cranberry extracts provides it with everything it needs to feel great.
metal disk
This type of applicator is especially used in products for the care of the area around the eyes. Slightly convex smooth surface allows even distribution of the texture, avoiding excessive pressure, tension and friction that injure the delicate skin of the eyelids.
Disc applicators are made from metal alloys that provide the effect of an ice cube to stimulate blood flow and combat puffiness.
Anti-aging cream “Revitalift Laser x3” anti-wrinkle for the area around the eyes L’Oréal Paris – a product with fragmented hyaluronic acid, which is able to penetrate deeper into the skin and straighten wrinkles as if from the inside. The proprietary molecule Proxylan strengthens the collagen scaffold that supports the skin. Caffeine is added to the formula to eliminate bags under the eyes.
Cream for the skin around the eyes PowerCell, Helena Rubinstein charged with antioxidants and plant cells, aimed at fighting wrinkles and defeating them. Powerful anti-aging formula is supported by an applicator that helps to remove excess fluid and eliminate the feeling of heaviness in the eyelids.
Applicator dispenser
Its distinguishing feature is a thin long tip. Such applicators are needed for point application of concentrated products in a certain dosage.
Anti-aging serum “Revitalift Filler”, L’Oréal Paris is applied directly to the areas requiring correction, and immediately begins to act, smoothing wrinkles due to hyaluronic acid.
Double-Strength Deep Wrinkle Filler, Kiehl’s quickly provides a visual effect, and with regular use of the product, wrinkles become less noticeable. Two types of hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed soy protein are responsible for the result.
silicone applicator
Applicators made of this soft and plastic material are used to supply products intended for the care of facial areas with thin, easily vulnerable skin. As you might guess, we are talking about the eyelids and lips.
Eye contour cream Idéalia, Vichy Combines the functions of care and concealer: masks signs of fatigue and fights them with the transformative DRM-Bright complex with vitamin CG and caffeine.
Lip balm Aquasource Plump and Glow Lips, Biotherm gives volume due to the action of Blue Hyaluron hyaluronic acid concentrate and mint extract. Pink pigment and nourishing shea butter are responsible for freshness and smoothness.
