Professional facial creams

What is a professional face cream? How is it different from a non-professional one? Unlike inexpensive mass-market products, professional lines are much more expensive; not all brands produce these creams and they cannot be purchased in regular stores. But the main advantage and difference is quality, thanks to which the skin can really be transformed.

Indications professional facial creams

An important indication for the use of professional face creams is that they help to really save on expensive salon SPA procedures. Thanks to online stores, where the entire range of professional cosmetics is presented, there is no need to waste time searching for the right product in regular cosmetic stores.

Professional face creams are divided depending on the skin type and the tasks performed (cleansing, whitening, renewal, protection, toning). When developing formulas, specialists take into account the characteristics of the skin as much as possible, and harmlessness and effectiveness are confirmed by certificates.

• They are not available for sale mainly because the formula uses powerful components, sometimes in high concentrations. They are more effective than regular cosmetics, but require proper and precise application.

When prescribing a professional product, it is necessary to take into account the skin type and condition, age and specific problem of the patient. Sometimes even the season or time of year is important.

Cosmetics of this type must be stored especially carefully and used only as intended. If all criteria are met and timely prescribed, professional face creams can really prolong youth and "reduce" real age by several years.

Professional face creams after 40 years

40 years is the age when the skin requires especially careful care. As a rule, it is necessary to choose new products, since the usual cosmetics are no longer able to cope with the inevitable negative changes in the skin. To maintain the skin in a youthful state, it is necessary to remember about professional face creams after 40 years.

Mature skin undergoes the following unwanted changes:

• elasticity and velvetiness decrease;
• dullness and unevenness of tone appear;
• wrinkles are formed;
• the content of moisture and nutrients decreases.

Peeling and irritation often appear, and skin type may change.

A professional face cream for people over 40 should eliminate these shortcomings and prevent further aging. For this purpose, protein compounds (elastin, keratin, collagen, etc.), peptides, retinoids, coenzyme, AHA and BHA acids are introduced into the recipes. All well-known brands offer their own developments of professional rejuvenating products.

The French brand Phytomer produces a cream for aging skin after 40 years, with lifting and tightening effects. Phytomer products are based on active ingredients of marine origin. The company is considered a pioneer in the use of marine extracts in cosmetology.

Professional creams envelop the skin and provide long-term hydration. In addition, the components of the cream stimulate the production of proteins that retain moisture, strengthen the fat barrier and intercellular cohesion.
