What’s new: editorial recommends

August has been kind this year. And it is all the more pleasant that there were products at hand that even on hot days do not allow the skin to dry out, but, on the contrary, do everything to make it look radiant and fresh.

Multi-restorative Cicaplast spray B5, La Roche-Posay

This August, I managed to escape to the country for a week. And all the days that I was outside the city, there was a steady heat – the air literally rang from the heat. Of course, it was impossible to resist the temptation to go several times a day to the river. But from the dry hot wind, I, as the owner of thin and sensitive dry skin, naturally experienced discomfort in the evening: a feeling of tightness, redness and even slight peeling in the T-zone. The Cicaplast B5 multi-repair spray saved me.

It not only quickly and effectively moisturizes and soothes the skin, but also removes the discomfort from sunburn, is suitable for treating minor scratches and wounds on the skin of children, relieves dryness, irritation and pain after thermal burns. A whole group of active ingredients is responsible for all these wonderful effects:

  • panthenol at a concentration of 5% soothes especially irritated areas;

  • madecassoside accelerates the process of skin regeneration;

  • mannose promotes skin microbiome balance and La Roche-Posay is a well-known skin microbiome expert;

  • copper and manganese complex stimulates skin regeneration;

  • thermal water La Roche-Posay relieves discomfort, moisturizes, softens.

The spray format is great for situations where you need to touch your skin less. When there is redness, irritation, abrasions or scratches.

How to use: spray locally on areas of the face and body from a distance of 15 cm and do not rub – wait until the spray is absorbed. Firstly, the unpleasant symptoms disappear, and secondly, the skin looks like you just put a good portion of moisturizer on it.

Спрей Phyto Corective Essence Mist, SkinCeuticals

In general, I really like moisturizing sprays, thermal water, and therefore the weightless mist from SkinCeuticals that came to me for testing instantly became my favorite. Firstly, it is really weightless, but at the same time the face “comes to life” before our eyes. Secondly, it perfectly moisturizes the skin. When I carefully read the summary, everything became clear. Among the active ingredients are herbal extracts:

  • cucumber fruits;

  • thyme leaves;

  • olive leaves;

  • mulberry root;

  • grapefruit fruit;

  • rosemary leaves.

And low molecular weight hyaluronic acid at a concentration of 0,2% is responsible for moisturizing, retaining moisture and restoring the skin, which allows it to penetrate the epidermis, retain moisture and strengthen the barrier properties of the skin.

Easy to use: spray from a distance of 15 centimeters from the face onto clean skin. In the morning and / or during the day, if necessary, even over makeup. The spray can also be the third step in SkinCeuticals after Antioxidant Serum and Concealer. In general, I recommend!

Civorotka Retinol B3, La Roche-Posay

Sun, summer, time on the beach – all this is very cool! But ultraviolet is fraught with serious risks of photoaging, that is, the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. Therefore, it is important not only to use sunscreen, but also to additionally help the skin cope with the negative consequences of spending time in the open sun. And the serum with retinol and vitamin B3 is a great solution. Its light, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly without clogging pores.

Apply at night to cleansed face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Can be used on its own or before basic skincare. And don’t forget to use SPF in the morning. But you should not combine serum with other products with retinol.

And do not be afraid that after a while the serum may change color – retinol turns yellow upon contact with air, but this does not affect its effectiveness.

Garnier Highly Concentrated Sheet Masks

I think sheet masks are a genius invention. It is convenient to use them even in the case when there is very little time. Put such a mask on cleansed skin and you can drink coffee or get ready for work. And if there is no time at all, then the mask will perfectly refresh your face even in the car, while you get to the office. This, of course, is an extreme option, but it is quite possible. Garnier released three new masks with active ingredients at once:

  • hyaluronic acid (1%);

  • vitamin Cg;

  • nicotinamide (2%).

Superfoods included in the masks (watermelon, pineapple and kale extracts) help to solve various problems.

For example, a mask with watermelon improves skin tone and has a tightening effect.

The pineapple mask will appeal to those who think that the skin looks tired and it’s time to cheer it up.

And if you decide that the skin needs a detox, then there is no better choice than a mask with a cale.

The result from each of the masks is instant – just five minutes and you are as good as new.
