Creams for skin radiance
Rules for choosing an anti-aging cream
Focus on your skin type. With age, it tends to become dry. But don’t confuse dryness with dehydration! Take our quiz to find out your skin type.
Pay attention to the manufacturer’s recommendations. But consider your own needs as well. If you are more concerned not with wrinkles, but with “sagging” facial contours, feel free to choose creams recommended for a more mature age category. After all, each person has his own type of aging (to find out, take this test).
Before ordering this or that cream, formulate for yourself what exactly worries you about your skin condition, what has changed. If it is dehydrated – focus on intense hydration, if it is too dry, up to peeling – pay attention to nourishing care and oils, if a dull complexion is embarrassing – help the skin renew itself with creams containing acids.
