Nourishing creams for dry, oily and combination facial skin

The skin plays such an important role in the body that some experts compare it to a large endocrine gland, and even to the peripheral brain, adequately responding to incoming information - both from outside and from inside the body. God himself ordered to cherish and pamper it. Especially if it is facial skin, and the face is female.

Composition of nourishing face cream

The first cosmetic creams were prepared on the basis of fats and herbal infusions. The advantages of such completely natural recipes were leveled by too short a shelf life. This forced cosmetologists to increase the shelf life with various chemical additives, thanks to which modern women have a choice of cosmetics for all occasions.

The composition of a nourishing face cream depends on its purpose and set of ingredients, it is indicated on the product packaging. The formulas of nourishing face creams contain: moisturizing, nourishing, softening, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, soothing, healing, rejuvenating, protective, vitamin, renewing, toning, disinfecting, cleansing and other components in various combinations. Each patented product has a unique composition.

There are two types of nourishing creams according to their mode of action: day and night. They solve different problems, so when choosing a cream, you should pay attention not only to the composition and ratio of natural and chemical ingredients, but also to the type of product.

Many substances, without which the cosmetic industry would not stay afloat, are considered unsafe and even harmful (dyes, fragrances, parabens, mineral oils, aluminum silicate and acetate, albumin, etc.). They can cause side effects and allergies, accumulate in the body. This is especially dangerous during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Therefore, the composition is the main thing to pay attention to when buying cosmetics.

Indications nourishing face creams

Indications for the use of nourishing face creams are dryness, expressed by various symptoms. The reason is poor functioning of the sebaceous glands and loss of moisture. In youth, this type of skin looks beautiful - the face is smooth, thin, matte, without an unpleasant shine from oily secretions. However, such skin is prone to irritation and peeling, rapid aging, loss of elasticity and flexibility. To avoid this, special attention and skin care are required.

Normal skin is not immune to dryness either. The problem can be triggered by:

• poor nutrition;
• taking antibiotics;
• hypoacid gastritis;
• professional costs (for example, makeup for artists).

Improper facial care inevitably leads to dryness, early wrinkles or other problems. Factors to avoid are frequent washing, cold hard water, cosmetics containing alcohol and other drying substances.

In any case, nourishing face creams after 30 years are necessary for every woman. Cosmetologists warn: when using the same product, addiction and a decrease in effectiveness are observed, so it is recommended to periodically change the brand of cream. And also to stick to the "golden mean". In the sense that if a woman claims to look young and modern, then it is unacceptable for her to either abuse or ignore nourishing face creams.

Such properties were given to ash juice by nature itself, thanks to them the trees survive in conditions of prolonged drought. Yves Rocher adapts these properties to human skin.

Jojoba, sea buckthorn, shea, sunflower and wheat germ oils represent a complex of natural components that promote youth and beauty.

Moisturizing nourishing face cream

To understand what a moisturizing nourishing face cream is, you need to understand how moisturizers differ from nourishing ones.

The formula of the moisturizing cream is dominated by water and moisturizing ingredients: glycerin, hyaluronic acid. Additional components are fats, vitamins, plant extracts, fruits and berries. The consistency is more liquid due to the large amount of water (about 70%). Its purpose is to replenish moisture and prevent its loss. At sub-zero temperatures outside, such a cream is harmful to the skin.

Nourishing face cream is created for nutrition, but at the same time it also performs the function of moisturizing. Such creams resemble homemade sour cream in appearance, fats predominate in them - up to 70%. The rest is water, vitamins, in age cosmetics - hormones, etc. This category of creams is suitable for winter, as it protects against the adverse effects of frost.

Thus, both creams are aimed at moisturizing, and the nourishing one additionally enriches the skin with useful substances. It is almost impossible to separate these properties; it is important to use both creams correctly, in particular, depending on the season and age.

Garnier's "Vital Moisture" with Camellia Oil is an attempt to harmoniously combine moisturizing and nourishing. The cream is rich, oily, and perfectly protects even very dry skin from the winter cold, soothes and nourishes, and relieves the face from dehydration, tightness, and dryness. According to the annotation, the cream provides an individual dose of vital moisturizing needed in each specific case.

Nourishing cream for combination skin

Combination skin is distinguished by its dry or oily "in its pure form". The task of cosmetic products for this type of skin is to effectively satisfy the requirements of different areas of the skin. That is, to be universal. Some women use two creams at once, applying them to different areas of the face according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

A nourishing cream for combination skin should perform a range of tasks: nutrition, moisturizing, care, protection, infection prevention, and normalization of sweating.

Dryness usually manifests itself on the temples and cheeks, oiliness - on the forehead, nose, chin. Due to this location, the temples and cheeks suffer from peeling and tightness, the rest of the areas - from enlarged pores clogged with dirt and fat, periodically inflamed. For this purpose, plant extracts and essential oils are introduced into the formulas of nourishing face creams as active components, additional ones - glycerin, collagen, panthenol and similar substances, vitamin and mineral complexes.

There are individual and seasonal features of care for combination skin. In summer, it approaches the oily type, and in winter it becomes drier. Therefore, in summer, it is important to thoroughly cleanse the face, apply a cream with an anti-inflammatory and sebum-reducing effect. In winter, increased attention is required: protection from the cold, nutrition and hydration.

Inexpensive creams – Nivea against wrinkles, Cornflower and Barberry from Chistaya Liniya, Sophora japonica from Siberika.

Nourishing cream for problem skin

The concept of "problem skin" includes the presence of many defects, which are either cosmetic defects or symptoms of diseases. In the first case, a cosmetologist will help eliminate the defects, in the second case, a dermatologist will be needed, and sometimes other doctors, to determine the cause of such symptoms.

Problem skin can be identified if the face has:

• inflammation (acne, papules, pustules);
• vascular network;
• weeping scars;
• scars;
• pigmentation;
• peeling;
• eczema;
• dermatosis.

A nourishing cream for problematic facial skin can solve some of the problems, and if there are only a few of them, then all of them. When choosing a nourishing face cream in such cases, you should pay attention to what kind of shortcomings it eliminates. Is this the cream you need? Perhaps a pharmacy cream or a special folk remedy can help.

It is worth remembering that facial defects can be caused by poor nutrition and lifestyle. To achieve changes for the better, it is worth giving up abuse and bad habits. And properly selected cosmetics will complete the efforts.

Nourishing cream for sensitive facial skin

Dry skin features small pores, fine texture, and a delicate pink color. In youth, such skin looks very nice. Its owners are not bothered by oily shine, acne, and inflammation.

But there are also disadvantages: dry skin is often irritated, reacts painfully to atmospheric factors and is subject to aging earlier than oily skin. Caring for it requires special cosmetics, in particular, high-quality nourishing creams for sensitive facial skin.

• Belarusian cosmetologists have offered a budget option to combat these problems. The Bielita company produces nourishing face cream "Chamomile" of two types: day and night. The purpose of the creams is nutrition, moisturizing, soothing, restoration. The effect is achieved due to the combination of natural substances: chamomile extract and arnica oil (day cream), chamomile and allantoin (night cream).

There are a great many cosmetics for dry skin. If the cream meets individual characteristics, it will certainly be suitable as a nourishing product for sensitive skin. But sometimes the manufacturer emphasizes this by including the words "sensitive skin" in the name.

Thus, the Latvian brand Dzintars offers a night cream "Restorative" specifically for women with sensitive skin. It is part of an organic line, the recipe of which is based on environmentally friendly, certified products. The cream contains natural lipids, apple seed extracts and cocoa butter, which gently restore softness, elasticity, water balance, and freshness to the sensitive skin of the face and neck.

Nourishing face cream after 25 years

After 25 years, natural processes in the skin slow down, in particular, it begins to lose moisture, requires restoration and maintenance of water balance. Collagen production decreases. In short, destructive processes are activated, and restorative ones, on the contrary, are slowed down.

These processes begin unnoticed, but if you do not take care of your skin, the former freshness and radiance of the skin will disappear after a while. A competent care system will protect the skin from sagging and early wrinkles, and will preserve its natural freshness and radiance.

The basis of care is the use of nourishing face creams. For preventive purposes, special nourishing face creams for after 25 are used for daily care, combining intensive nutrition and a moisturizing effect. To accomplish the tasks set, the formula should contain:

• essential oils;
• vitamins E, A;
• allantoin, bisabolol, panthenol;
• sorbitol;
• fruit acids;
• hyaluronic acid.

Many brands offer entire lines of nourishing anti-aging cosmetics, with unique formulas and properties. "Nutrition and Moisturizing" from Natura Siberica, "Clean Line", Sensitive Touch from Lumene, "Basic Care" from Garnier are just some of the popular creams of this type.

Nourishing face creams after 50 years

In skin care after 50, the emphasis is on nutrition. Experienced women believe that high-quality nourishing face creams after 50 are not a luxury, but a necessity. This is a real medicine, and you can’t save on it. After all, by this age, even the most genetically resistant skin loses its elasticity. The production of collagen and elastin decreases, the water balance is disturbed.

An age-related nourishing cream can prevent or slow down unwanted changes, including pigmentation and aging. Like other nourishing face creams, age-related creams can be daytime or nighttime.

Day cream "Extension of youth" according to the recipe of grandmother Agafia contains Siberian herbs and roots, as well as green coffee. All components are natural, preservatives are food-grade. The cream is easily absorbed, saturates with vitamins and nutritional components.

The night cream "Active rejuvenation" from the same manufacturer contains, in addition to ginseng, seven more plants with rejuvenating properties, from ecologically clean areas. The result is not long in coming: almost immediately the condition of the face noticeably improves, and the contour becomes clearer.

Homemade gelatin cream is prepared in a water bath. Its benefit is in the high content of collagen, which is necessary for maintaining elasticity.

• For a teaspoon of gelatin, take 3 tablespoons of honey, half a glass of water and glycerin, salicylic acid on the tip of a knife. Warm up and mix the substances until smooth, bring to a jelly-like consistency, beat and cool.

Baby Nourishing Face Cream

Baby creams perform various functions: daily care, prevention and treatment, protective (from the sun, cold, insects). The properties are determined by the recipe, which is based on natural components: vegetable and animal fats, tinctures of medicinal herbs, bee products and other useful substances. A high-quality cream should not contain aggressive sulfates, preservatives, artificial fragrances, parabens in large quantities.

Are baby nourishing creams suitable for the face of adult women? The question is controversial. On the one hand, the cream is actively used as a basic product in the manufacture of home cosmetics; moreover, according to reviews, it gives positive results: it returns smoothness and velvetiness to dry skin.

• But not everything is so clear. There is an opinion that this is not a solution to the problem, but only a temporary masking of skin defects. Why?

It turns out that greasy baby cream on adult skin creates a greenhouse effect, clogs pores and prevents breathing. The resulting film, designed to protect the delicate epidermis on a child's body, prevents the moisturizing of the rougher adult skin. This provokes inflammation and premature aging. With oily skin, baby face cream stimulates the formation of fat, and this turns the skin into a problematic one.

Popular baby creams:

• "Calendula" from weleda;
• "Casper" with chamomile;
• "Tick Tock" by Freedom;
• "Alice";
• "My sunshine";
• "Tender" by Bubchen;
• "Inpharma Children's Cream";
• With succession;
• "Mom and baby";
• "Little One";
• "Gentle care" from Johnson's baby;
• "Baby" by Nivea;
• "Protective" from Siberik.

Nourishing face cream for men

What is the specificity of nourishing facial creams for men? Men's skin is more exposed to adverse external factors than women's: ultraviolet radiation, cold, wind, precipitation. It also suffers and becomes thinner from constant shaving. Taking these features into account, formulas for facial creams for the stronger sex are created.

The Israeli-made Premier cream, designed to protect from the sun, tone, and moisturize a man's face, perfectly performs the nourishing and protective function. Israeli cosmetics are unique in that the formulas are created on the basis of the healing minerals of the Dead Sea. In addition to them, Premier cream is enriched with vitamins, natural oils, and organic extracts.

This composition copes with the protection of the skin from ultraviolet radiation and other adverse factors, restores turgor, evens out tone, relief, structure. The cream is suitable for any man. It is recommended to use it after shaving, applying a thin layer to the face.

Dosing and administration

The nourishing face cream is applied along the massage lines carefully, in portions. On the forehead, cheeks, nose, you can hammer it in with your fingertips.

Nourishing creams are more effective if applied to damp skin. Water not only additionally moisturizes the skin, but also promotes better penetration of the cream.

Cold cream causes vascular spasms, and if you rub it in your palms, it softens and is better absorbed.

The method of using nourishing face creams depends on the type of cream. Night creams are more oily, so they are applied in a thin layer, kept for about an hour and removed with cosmetic wipes.

For oily skin, leave it on for no more than half an hour and remove it with a swab soaked in an acidified solution. If you leave the nourishing cream on overnight, it will prevent skin respiration and provoke comedones.

It is not advisable to apply night cream immediately before going to bed, and day cream before leaving the house. 3-5 minutes of self-massage will speed up the absorption of the cream.

Use nourishing face creams during pregnancy

Cleansing, nourishing, moisturizing, protecting – these are the pillars of facial care at any stage of life. The use of nourishing facial creams during pregnancy has its own peculiarities. At this time, the body produces more estrogens, which inhibit the formation of sebum. Therefore, oily skin gets rid of excess fat and acne, its condition is normalized. But dry skin becomes even drier, and something needs to be done about it.

If possible, it is sometimes advisable to devote the whole day to your face. During this time, apply the cream in the morning, afternoon and evening for an hour, remove each time with a special lotion or sour milk. In between, nourish the eye area with special products in the same way.

When changing your facial care routine during pregnancy, it is important to remember about possible reactions when using new medications. To reduce the risks, you should follow several rules:

• use cosmetics from previously tested brands;
• test creams by applying them to the inside of your arms or elbows;
• do not use drying masks and lotions;
• Give preference to moisturizing masks and peeling.

When choosing a nourishing face cream, you should carefully study the composition for harmful components and allergens. If the skin reacts with irritation, you should refuse it. Periodically, the skin needs to be given a rest and the opportunity to produce its own fat.

Sometimes cosmetic procedures alone are not enough to normalize facial skin. Then you need to pay attention to your diet, in particular, enrich it with vitamins and other substances useful for the skin.

Contraindications

Hormonal nourishing face creams are not recommended for women under 45-50 years of age. Contraindications to the use of creams with hormones also apply to pregnant and nursing mothers.

In case of diseases or damage to the skin of the face, you cannot use cosmetic creams without the permission of a dermatologist.

If you have coarse hair on your upper lip and chin, you should not apply nourishing creams to these areas, especially those containing hormones.

Side effects nourishing face creams

With constant use of the same creams, addiction develops. Therefore, the effectiveness of nourishing face creams decreases over time. In addition, the following side effects of nourishing face creams are possible:

• allergy;
• influence on the hormonal system (if hormones are present in the formula);
• dermatitis;
• comedones formation;
• premature aging;
• swelling of the eyelids;
• formation of unwanted vegetation.

Overdose

An overdose of nourishing face cream is not so bad: the skin simply will not absorb the excess. However, a thick layer of cosmetics left overnight prevents the skin from breathing and is fraught with comedones and puffiness under the eyes. During the day, the face will get an unhealthy shine.

If the skin reacts with irritation, you should stop using the cream: it may be an allergy to individual components (honey, aloe, vitamin A).

When packaged in a bottle with a dispenser, one press is enough for application. This is the volume of an average bean. 1 cm is squeezed out of the tube for one procedure.

There are no recorded pathological consequences of overdosing on nourishing facial creams.

Interactions with other drugs

The question of interaction with other preparations of nourishing face creams is relevant in case of diseases, injuries or other damage to the skin. It should be decided by a specialist. It is not recommended to combine preparations on your own.

Storage conditions

Storage conditions are indicated on the packaging. In general, nourishing face creams are not too picky. High temperature and sunlight are the main enemies of cosmetics.

Conventional products are stored at a temperature of up to 25 degrees, only homemade cosmetics are put in the refrigerator. Children's access to them should be limited.

Shelf life

The expiration date is usually indicated on the packaging (for example, Gerontol - 2 years). It depends on the amount of preservatives and the quality of the packaging (nourishing face creams in a tube last longer). Some manufacturers also indicate the shelf life of cosmetics after opening the package.

Homemade creams are suitable for use from 5 days to 2 weeks. Humidity, ultraviolet light, dirt, heat or freezing will shorten the shelf life.

Homemade recipes for nourishing face creams

The main advantages of homemade cosmetics are availability, naturalness, absence of preservatives, parabens and other undesirable substances. They have been tested by many generations of women and are often passed down "by inheritance" from mother to daughter. There is also a disadvantage - high sensitivity to storage conditions. There is only one way out: so that the nourishing face cream does not spoil, it should be prepared in portions, for several times, stored only in the cold and for a short time - from 5 to 14 days.

The easiest way is to use homemade recipes for nourishing face creams based on baby cream or vegetable oil (olive, peach, almond). The basic product is enriched with additional natural ingredients - essential oils, vitamins. By combining the ingredients, we get a cream for any skin type.

• fat:

Mix 2 teaspoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of yolk, 3 teaspoons of berry or fruit pulp (apple, strawberry, plum) until fluffy, apply to face for half an hour, then remove the remainder with a napkin;

• combined:

To obtain a light, creamy mixture, the ingredients are whipped while warm, then cooled and only then used as directed.

Nourishing face cream based on milk and honey

Milk soothes and softens the skin, eliminates bags around the eyes, wrinkles and dryness. Honey has the same properties, and also enriches the skin with vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, making it healthy and radiant.

Two nourishing face creams based on milk and honey deserve attention: from Avon and from Oriflame. These products also play an important role in the arsenal of home remedies.

1. "Milk and Honey" from Avon contains a bouquet of substances useful for the skin, which are rich in natural honey and cow's milk. The honey component nourishes and softens, other ingredients moisturize the skin and restore aging cells. Daily facial care brings pleasure and enjoyment.
2. The night cream of the same name from Oriflame is designed for dry and very dry skin. It saturates cells with moisture and retains it throughout the day. The texture is non-sticky, absorbs quickly and without traces. With constant use, it maintains natural freshness and beauty, evens out tone and texture.
3. Homemade nourishing face cream, in addition to milk and honey, contains two yolks and flavoring components: rose oil (a few drops) and a decoction of petals (a teaspoon). Take a teaspoon of honey per serving of cream, and a tablespoon of milk. Mix the ingredients in a clean bowl, keep in the refrigerator, and use once or more a day.

All this, plus high-quality cosmetics, contribute to improving the appearance, making the face fresh and attractive.
