However, only a few people use cheaper or different masks prepared at home instead of expensive cosmetics. In fact, there are cheap effective anti-wrinkle agents.

First, all the ingredients are absolutely safe for the skin and they rarely cause allergies. Second, the natural ingredients are sometimes better absorbed.

Many specialists in the field of cosmetology believe that cream with retinol is very effective in combating wrinkles. Also, these creams return the skin to youth and elasticity. In comparison with many other anti-aging creams, creams on the basis of retinol are more affordable and in no way inferior to their counterparts.
However, like many other cosmetic products, such creams have some contraindications to use and side effects. Therefore, using this means, you need to follow certain rules. We will disclose these rules to you.
How to choose a good cream with retinol?
Vitamin A has some peculiarities. It collapses when exposed to direct sun rays, so the quality cream should be with the dispenser. Packing the cream should be opaque.
Many girls are confident that the more retinol in cream, the more effective it is. But it's not so. Much more important than other components in the cream, especially the important conductors of retinol, which together with this vitamin help him penetrate as deep as possible into the layers of the epidermis. It is also very important that such substances as vitamin C, niacinamide, ANAexfoliates and other components are present in creams based on retinol.
Today, one of the best creams with retinol is considered to be: "ROC retinol cream for correction of deep wrinkles" and "Skinsezhikels retinol night cream for skin elasticity". The second cream found in the Russian market is not easy and simple, but the first one can be bought in almost every pharmacy. However, both creams can be ordered online.
Rules for the use of retinol for the face
It is very important to properly use a cream based on retinol. Vitamin A is very effective in combating anti-aging changes, but if misused, the consequences can be very sad.
- Vitamin A is very unstable. It is rapidly oxidized by contact with air or light. Therefore, if you decide to buy a cream with this vitamin or a vitamin in liquid form, always choose the product that is in capsules or in an opaque package with a dispenser. Also, such funds must be stored in dark places.
- Retinol makes the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet rays and the sun. Therefore, while using retinol-containing drugs, it is necessary to additionally use day creams with a high level of protection against ultraviolet radiation. Even in winter it is necessary to use such creams, and this despite the fact that, as a rule, creams with retinol are intended for night use.
- If you use a cream with retinol for the first time, then accustom your skin to it gradually. Do not apply the cream daily. First, use it twice a week, gradually increase the number of uses. Then your skin will get used to adapting to retinol.
- If you have too sensitive skin, it is better not to use a cream on the basis of retinol. The thing is that vitamin A is very powerful. Some manufacturers offer a cream with a special formula, designed specifically for sensitive skin. However, even such creams are not suitable for everyone. In this case, allindividual.
- Almost always after the first two uses of the cream, the skin turns red and feels tight. These phenomena are normal and stop using the cream is not worth it. As a rule, after a week and a half or two weeks the skin gets used, and such side effects do not bother anymore. If after two weeks the skin does not go back to normal, then you need to give up cosmetic products containing retinol.
- On dry face skin retinol should be applied very carefully. In many reviews it is said that after this application the skin condition deteriorates. In such cases, specialists recommend using funds with retinol no more than two times an appointment. In addition, you need to intensively moisturize the skin.
- To start using creams based on retinol is best in the fall or winter. It has already been said that vitamin A increases the sensitivity of the skin to the culturally-violet rays. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize risks.
- Cream with retinol should be used no earlier than 30-35 years. Most specialists believe that for young skin it is harmful. However, the most effective drugs against acne in their composition contain retinol and they are used precisely on young skin. But we advise you to refrain from such means, if you are less than 30 years old.
Face masks with sethinol for the face
If you decide to buy not cream, but a face mask with retinol, then you will also have to adhere to the above recommendations. The mask should be in tubes with a dispenser or in an individual package. If the mask contains a high concentration of retinol, it will lead to reddening of the skin, but this is normal. Redness will disappear immediately after the skin gets used to.
Muscle retinol should be done first once a week, and so for three weeks. Then, for two weeks, you need to do the mask twice a week, so gradually increase the number of applications up to three times a week if necessary.
You can prepare a mask with retinol and at home. To do this, in your usual face mask, add one drop of vitamin A and E. Such vitamins are sold in any pharmacy. They are released in the form of capsules. Very effective on kozvozvozdeystvuet retinol in masks of parsley, sea buckthorn and in yeast masks.
However, one should not expect the same effect from home masks with retinol, as a release. In natural masks, there are not all the ingredients that allow retinol permeation into the deep layers of the epidermis. In creams such ingredients are carefully balanced. In addition, such substances were invented in laboratories, so in nature they do not exist.
