An extremely important role in creating a well-groomed appearance of each woman is played by the optimal selection of a day cream for the face. In order to choose the right cream, women need to know some information about it. So, what should we pay attention to?
What is a day cream for?
Day and night creams differ from each other. The main function of day cream is to protect the skin of the face throughout the day. It protects against exposure to ultraviolet sunlight and prevents the penetration of various harmful particles in the pores that are contained in the air, abounding with engine exhaust fumes and other substances that can cause the skin to premature aging. Also, day cream is used as a base for applying make-up and serves to moisturize the skin.
Night cream was developed by specialists with the purpose of taking care of the skin of a woman's face during sleep. It stimulates the processes of metabolism of the skin and nourishes it with various useful substances.
Day cream for summer
When choosing a day cream for summer, remember that it is best to use a cream as light a consistency as possible, ie gels, emulsions, light creams, etc. Do not forget that in summer, the sun's rays are especially strong on the skin of the face. So it's best if the day cream you get will contain UV-protecting UV filters. It is very important in early summer, because the skin of the face for the winter is weaned from the sun's rays and at first feels stressed from the effects of ultraviolet rays. It is necessary to pay close attention to the composition of the cream, it must necessarily include gilauronic acid, which protects the skin from loss of moisture.
In addition, it is extremely important that the day cream contains vitamins that protect the skin from the effects of heavy metals and give it an extra energy reserve. It is desirable that the composition of the day cream in the summer included and moisturizing ingredients.
Day cream for winter
For the winter period, women should choose a slightly different cream than for the summer. Frost is the main threat to skin in the winter. In addition, the skin changes its properties under the influence of cold. So, the oily skin on the properties becomes combined, and combined receives properties normal. In turn, the normal skin for its properties becomes dry. Experts in the field of cosmetology advise in winter to use a cream on a fat basis. And if you do not have the optimal for the winter fatty day cream, you can use a night nourishing cream instead.
How to choose a day cream
First you need to pay attention to the packaging of the cream. Most often, the face cream is sold in jars or tubes. Use cream in a tube is considered more hygienic, since a tube of cream is squeezed out of the tube once, and the rest of the cream is reliably protected from bacteria. You can use the cream in jars, but in this case it is recommended to use a special spatula to remove it and avoid contact of the cream with hands.
Do not hesitate to open a face cream in the store. It may happen that the cream has an unpleasant odor or strange appearance. And this indicates that it is spoiled. Most often, in a good shop there is an opportunity to inspect and test the cream before making a purchase. Even if there the cream will cost a little more expensive, but you will be assured of its quality. To test the cream, it should be applied to the inner side of the wrist, and after 30 minutes to check if any allergic reactions have appeared on this area of the skin. If so, you should not buy such cream.
Features of cream for young skin
When choosing a day cream for young skin, it is worth remembering that a cream that contains components to fight wrinkles or has a lifting effect can not be used. Before reaching the age of 30, the skin can independently produce all the substances that are necessary for its elasticity and beautiful appearance. In the case of using a rejuvenating cream, the skin receives from it all the necessary components and ceases to produce them on its own in the right amount.
