Variety of cosmetic substances is aimed to improve the skin, refresh it and rejuvenate. Nowadays, wide variety of products and moderateness of prices allow selecting an appropriate complex of cosmetic products, due to your age and type of skin.
But it is always difficult to pick up something exact. Skin type can change due to ageing, change of the season, imbalance of the whole organism work. Even if you know what skin type you have, it is impossible to recommend an exact day cream or other cosmetic production. Individuality of every organism needs a cosmetologist consult and few experiments.
Normal skin care
Normal skin is quite rare. Face with normal skin always looks healthy, but still it needs care. The most important is to save the moisture, not to overdry. In other words, don’t use soap and substances with alcohol, they dry the skin. Elderly women should be especially attentive to their skin. Skin ageing is inevitable, no matter what substances you use. This process can be only slowed down, if you preserve a fresh and healthy skin for long time. It is necessary to choose appropriate cosmetic products for face care.
Normal skin needs minimum substances. But it can’t stay healthy absolutely without them. You’ll need protection from all kinds of weather conditions: cold dry wind in winter, sun beams in summer. Then you won’t have problems with skin peeling, stretching and acne.
In the morning it is enough to wash your face with usual water or to clean it with special tonic.
Day cream should be always applied before the make-up. Cream should be moistening, not very oily. It is advisable that the cream also had ultraviolet protection.
In the evening you should prepare your skin for the use of toning cream. You can use the same tonic, you used in the morning.
Scrubs and different masks shouldn’t be used more often then once a week, not to damage your skin.
For normal skin we would recommend Mary Kay line Time Wise, or Oriflame line Swedish Care.
Take care of you skin in order to keep it healthy as long as possible.
Oily skin care
A lot of people have oily skin, that’s why they often use cosmetic substances for face care. They have not only to cover oily glitter, but also to clean the pores and to fight with acne.
It is recommended to use cosmetic milk for oily skin in the morning and in the evening.
Oily skin doesn’t need moistening, because moister is saved naturally. But still use not oily moistening cream. You can try Vichy Oligo 25.
In the night, you can apply cream not on the whole face but on the most sensitive areas. Neck and eyes area need special attention. But don’t forget to remove the make-up beforehand. Apply cream in thin layer with light touches of finger tips.
For oily skin we would recommend Oriflame line for oily skin Swedish Care (blue tubes).
Use scrub twice a week to clean the pores. After that necessarily use moistening cream or the scrub should maintain components that are soothing and antiphlogistic. The main is to choose the most appropriate scrub. Selected substance may intensively clean your face, but the lack of skin fat will cause it excess secretion. The bright example is a Vichy Normaderm gel-scrub (day and night), which has a strong effect and is appropriate only for those who need deep cleaning. But after it, you should use a good moistening cream.
After scrub you should use moistening mask. It cleans the skin and increase skin blood supply. The skin looks fresher. Main advice – masks should be thick, during the drying they absorb oil.
All the face care procedures should be regular, then your oily skin will always look fresh and clean.
Dry skin care
Youth pay minimum attention to their skin. Fresh look, absence of oily glitter, almost invisible pores don’t cause a wish to use a lot of cosmetics. But, despite the healthy look, it is advisable to use moistening substances. Yong dry skin, as well as elderly dry skin needs additional moistening. It will help to avoid wrinkles and to protect skin from peeling and reddening, to avoid the feeling of strengthening.
Skin becomes dry because of insufficient amount of skin fat, i.e. there is no sufficient layer of protective pellicle that keeps the moisture. But it doesn’t mean that you should use very oily cream. Day cream as well as night cream should moisture the skin. Of course you shouldn’t use substances maintaining alcohol, soap, which will overdry your skin.
It is better to select cosmetics when the air is not very dry, for example in autumn. Ask for a sample, dry skin is very sensitive, so you should be sure that there is no allergic reaction. Though such check up is recommended for the people with all skin types. The main requirement to cream is sun protection. Sun beams affect the skin the most, which leads to skin ageing. That’s why such protection is important in winter as well as in summer.
It is important to know that the simultaneous use of few substances can negatively affect your skin. Dry skin won’t bare abundance of chemical components.
In the morning you should wash your dry skin with warm water or clean it with tonic. We would recommend Oriflame line Swedish Care (pink tubes). This line has proved as good cosmetics for dry skin. If you are young, then an Oriflame tonic from Aloe line will be appropriate for you.
Day cream can have any percent of oil, its aim is to moisten skin and to protect it from ultraviolet rays. Oriflame Swedish Care Balancing day gel SPF 8 cream is made for these aims. It has a pleasant smell and is easily absorbed.
In the evening before the night cream you should remove the make-up with a help of lotion. Night cream differs from day cream only by the absence of ultraviolet filters. In Swedish Care line for dry skin you’ll find a Balancing Night Gel Cream.
The use of scrubs for dry skin needs a special advice. It should have soft cleaning effect without deep pore penetration, because it will cause dehydration. As a result you’ll have more wrinkles. It is also advisable that milled parts in the scrub that cause peeling, were as little as possible. Otherwise your skin will be irritated, because scrub will scratch your face. It is better to use gomage – a substance that peel skin not mechanically, but chemically. You can also try Oriflame Swedish Care Cooling Scrub. Everything will depend on your personal feelings.
Combined skin care
Combined skin is most often a result of incorrect care of the skin. Cheeks and temples have normal skin, and the T-zone (nose, forehead and chin) – oily. That’s why people with combined skin are recommended to use substances for two types of skin.
In the morning it is better to clean the T-zone with tonic for oily skin.
For the day protection use a moistening cream for normal skin. The thickness of layer should depend on the area (there should be less cream on normal skin).
In the evening use tonic, there should be as little alcohol in it as possible. Then use moistening cream, don’t apply it on T-zone.
The use of scrub is recommended not more then once a week. Then use a mask cording to areas with different types of skin.
In the end, we would like to add that for women as well as all the cosmetic substances should be from one line. Cosmetics of different firms can be incompatible. The line is usually combined in such a way, that the chemical components have complex effect.
