Each person has a different type of skin with different texture, and the most important thing is to find the product that is right for you.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the options out there, you’re not alone. There are countless products on the market and it is very easy to get confused, but at the end of the day it is important to understand which products are the best choice for you.
When is it necessary to start using face cream and why?
The usage of facial skin products as we know them today began in the middle of the 20th century, when benefits of doing so became apparent.
Applying face cream enriches the skin with moisture and prevents the formation of wrinkles, signs of aging and, in addition to these, is a protective agent against sun damage.
And if we’re on the subject of makeup, face cream forms a smooth skin base that is comfortable to work with.
How do the creams work?
Our skin is composed in its outer layer of materials whose function is to capture natural moisture. Dry skin is the result of insufficient moisture, and this is where the creams come into action.
Their main function is to add moisture, as well as oils on top of those in order to help our skin’s outer layer retain lost moisture and prevent it from disappearing.
What are the necessary ingredients in a face cream?
Vitamin E- a very strong antioxidant with an extraordinary ability to absorb moisture into the skin.
Antioxidants basically do the job of treating the skin by removing free radicals that tend to damage the skin and its texture.
Vitamin A – after proving its effectiveness in the fight against the appearance of acne back in the 1980s, we now know it has the ability to “smooth” and treat the symptoms of skin aging. This action is done by thickening the skin and contributing directly to the treatment against wrinkles. Vitamin A stimulates collagen absorption.
When choosing a cream, it is important to look at the issue of transparency in relation to the ingredients of the product. Always choose a cream that specifies what it is made of. Look for natural ingredients and not artificial substitutes whose effectiveness is questionable.
Be mindful of the packaging, it should be user friendly as well as act as a buffer between the product itself and external temperature changes.
Choosing a cream can sometimes be a personal and individual connection to the brand. Choose the cream after a thorough examination and getting to know the person behind it and after you have found that this is the product for you.
