The composition of IV creams of the new generation includes a maximum of useful components. All of them are researched and approved for use in cosmetology. However, despite the similarity of formulas, IV creams may differ in individual effects, so it is important to choose the most suitable means for yourself.
Features of Korean cosmetics are: exclusivity of active ingredients; integrated impact; a combination of scientific developments and traditional medicine.
The main ingredients of BB creams:
- silicone base,
- titanium dioxide (sometimes together with zinc oxide),
- organic extracts and plant oils,
- protective factors from ultraviolet,
- natural dyes.
Additional ingredients serve for moisturizing, enhancing elasticity, lightening the skin (hyaluronic acid, collagen, anti-aging substances). Diamond or ruby powder creates a radiance effect. Sometimes the formulas include parabens - the safest cosmetic preservatives. But companies are increasingly abandoning them, in order to avoid adverse reactions with sensitive skin.
Also, the use of mineral oils, synthetic dyes, benzophenone, and alcohol is reduced for cosmetic purposes.
Properties of the cream
The main properties of IV creams are simultaneous skin care and toning. The creators of the product are considered to be German dermatologists, thus solving the problem of eliminating postoperative skin defects.
However, the popularity of BB creams has gained thanks to women who recognized their cosmetic, rather than curative qualities. The first creams experienced actresses, and the mass distribution of BB cosmetics was in Asian fashionistas, wearing a specific make-up.
Properties of the creams:
- imperceptible toning,
- care,
- Sun protection,
- giving a natural tone,
- adaptation for any shade,
- ideal masking of small shortcomings,
- an excellent foundation for make-up,
- moisturizing, increased elasticity and tone,
- regeneration,
- whitening,
- prevention of wilting,
- enrichment with vitamins,
- medicinal properties (elimination of rash, narrowing of pores, other skin problems).
Experts believe that Asian drugs are somewhat different in terms of directions, and the development of Western companies resemble sunscreen toners rather than classic VV creams.
Dosing and administration
When choosing an IV cream, you should take into account the shade, type, individual features of the skin.
- BB creams are able to adjust to the shade of the face, but it is better to immediately choose a tone close to the natural. It is useful to use a probe, take light into account.
- It is commonly believed that cosmetics of this type are universal. But cosmetologists advise to pay attention to the composition: dry skin to select creams with a predominance of moisturizing ingredients, greasy need a dull effect, and for normal, a standard or bleaching product will do.
- It is proved that the skin of people living in different parts of the world is somewhat different. Therefore, American and Asian cosmetics can act differently than the European.
It is necessary to consider the possible reaction of the skin to other ingredients of the cream. To do this, you need to study the composition, and also buy cosmetics in safe places.
A feature also in how to use BB cream? It is applied to the face not as a habitual foundation, but rather as a foundation for make-up. And the powder is no longer needed, because most IV creams contain a matting component.
[18],
Basis under the cream
Basics for IV cream is not required, since the agent itself serves as such a base. If this rule is violated, the effect stated in the annotation can be spoiled: there will be no merger with the skin or a therapeutic effect (when using a drug product).
Preliminary application of the base is allowed only with too dry skin; it may be a toner, lotion or a special serum.
It should be remembered that IV creams are applied in layers, each subsequent intensifies the effect, remaining invisible. And the maximum result is achieved after a few minutes, when the cream "will sit down" on the skin. Stimulates this process by spraying with thermal water.
[19]
How to apply the cream?
How to apply BB cream? There are several ways:
- brush;
- sponge;
- fingers.
When applied with a brush, the heated product shimmers on the face. This method is suitable for dry skin and liquid consistency of the cream.
Sponge is used for oily skin. It is useful to pre-moisten with thermal water or a spray for the face, heat the mass on the arm, transfer it to the sponge and rub it over the skin.
