Men do not cease to marvel at our ability to orient themselves in absolutely identical (to their superficial and unprepared look) jars, tubes, bottles, bottles ...
For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that some of the names and we are confused. It is known that absolutely all cleaning and detergents (from soap to dishwashing gel) contain surfactants that dissolve fat. And the principle of action for all is identical. Where did this truly infinite number of variations come from? Stand on the shelf means for washing - milk, foam, cream, mousse ... Go and guess what is hidden behind these "sweet" names and what will suit you. Here's a transcript of messages from cosmetics manufacturers, "sewn up" in their names.
Soap, foam, thick and soft!
First you need to decide what type of skin you have. If the fatty, prone to the appearance of acne, choose a "lighter", in which the content of surfactants can be more, but the moisturizing components - smaller. Additional nutrition to your skin is useless, it will only clog pores and cause aggravation of problems. Ladies at the age of it makes sense to pay attention to funds with a dense texture, containing nutritional components, softer acting on the skin. Cleansing milk for face care for 70-90% consists of water, surfactants in it is much less than in other means for washing, but fats, moisturizers and other softening additives - more. Its mild formula is well suited for cleansing dry, dehydrated and irritable skin. However, with the problem skin, milk can not cope, and the oils contained in it can cause increased fat content of the skin. Milk should be washed off with water, but you can get by with a tonic. Cream of milk is different only in the concentration of fat components, as, in fact, in conventional dairy products. As a rule, cream, like milk, washed with water or tonic, otherwise they form an oily film on the skin. Detergent components are retained in the film, drying the skin.
Penka contains a high percentage of detergent components and is completely devoid of oils in its composition. It well removes excess fat and dries the skin, so it is recommended for oily and problem skin. Mousse is essentially the same foam. Only in the form of an aerosol. Passing through the pump, the mousse becomes a foam. Lotion is a liquid cleanser that does not require the use of water. Can be used alone or as a finishing touch in a thorough washing procedure. The lotion formula for facial care contains not only cleansing, but also soothing and toning components. By the way, tonic, toner and freshman - this is the same lotion, different names for the same product. Gels for washing in most cases are designed for people with oily or mixed skin, so they contain additives that regulate the secretion of sebum and relieve irritation. Absolutely lacking moisturizing substances in the form of oils and are very popular among young people with the problem of acne.
Cleansing napkins for face care for all occasions - these are the same lotions, dressed in a convenient for marching conditions packaging. Do not require flushing. There are also cleaning powders (dried gel for washing), and creams for washing (close to cream for a very dry and sensitive skin), and bactericidal emulsions for washing (a means for oily problem skin). Cleansers can be combined with others - for example, gel-scrub is perfect for teenage skin with pronounced comedones. Knowing the basics of these combinations and carefully reading the composition of the funds, you can make a competent and reasonable choice.
It is not enough to buy basic means for face care, how to apply them?
It seems that the tool is chosen correctly, and the effect of it is not felt fully. It's simple. Washing is not a complex process, but requires a pedantic adherence to a number of rules. If you have chosen cream or milk, apply the product to the cotton pad and rub it on the massage lines from the center of the forehead to the temples, from the wings of the nose along the cheekbones, from the chin to the lobes of the ears. Rinse with water or rub the skin with a toner. If you are accustomed to wash with water, choose a gel that suits your skin type, foam or mousse. Finish washing by rinsing with cool water - it tones up the skin and narrows the pores. Be sure to wash yourself and your neck, and every day you need to cleanse it no less.
Those eyes are opposite ...
Do not even touch them with your means to wash your face and body. Only special means that do not harm this gentle and capricious area of the face. PH of these drugs is identical to the acidity of tears, so they will not pinch the eye, will not cause redness and allergies. The most important rule is not to stretch the delicate skin and, if possible, avoid getting the makeup residue on the skin under the eyes. For this you can use cotton wool. In the first case, two discs moistened with a makeup remover are used, one of which is put on the lower eyelid, protecting it, and the second movement from top to bottom gently removes everything that was neatly applied in the morning. Finally, rinse your eyes with cool water to wash away all that is left of the cleanser.
Scratch the skin!
There is another "cleanser" that removes old dead cells and various contaminants. These are scrubs, which contain abrasive particles. Exfoliant - this beautiful name refers to the whole group of drugs that exfoliate dead cells. Powder is the most gentle exfoliant with a mild cleansing complex and a delicate texture. Recommended for sensitive skin with dilated capillaries. Peeling is an exfoliant with larger particles. More sparing option - with polyethylene and cellulose balls, coarser - with crushed bones, which is good for oily skin. Enzyme peeling cleanses the skin with the help of enzymes (due to chemical processes). Enzymes cleave bonds between dead cells - the agent acts gently and is suitable for dry skin with dilated capillaries. Scrub has the most rough texture of the entire group of exfoliants and is used mainly for the body. All exfoliants are used after washing, strictly on massage lines and washed off with water. After the procedure, boldly apply cream and emulsion - the effect will be pronounced.
