The best facial cosmetics
The main indicators of skin health are cleanliness, smoothness (according to age), absence of inflammation and irritation. I would like to think that this can only be achieved with proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle in general, but stubborn facts speak of the importance of cosmetic care. To one degree or another, such care is available to every woman.
And often the problem of finding the right tool is the lack of information, misunderstanding of what exactly you need. In this case, the search should start by examining the ratings. A quality mark, a good reputation, and being in demand - these are already good reasons to take a closer look at a cosmetic product.
Classification
There is no one magic and best universal remedy in the world. You need to pick up a basic set consisting of several components.
Facial cosmetics are chosen according to the type of skin, and the skin can be:
- dry;
- normal;
- oily;
- combined;
- problematic;
- sensitive.
According to the properties of cosmetics, there are:
- cleansing;
- moisturizing;
- nutritious;
- tonic;
- sunscreen.
By their format, facial skin care products are presented:
- creams;
- tonics and lotions;
- serums;
- scrubs;
- masks;
- foams and gels.
Finally, it is worth dividing cosmetics by price category: they can be pharmacy, mass-market, media-market, professional, premium.
Depending on the composition, cosmetic products are natural, mineral, cellular, oxygen.
Features of professional cosmetics
The word “professional” alone does not mean that the cosmetic product is really such. The requirements for a line of such products are great:
- cosmetics must include at least 100 products in the product line;
- professional cosmetics are intended to be used in different climatic and seasonal conditions;
- the level of clinical research to which all cosmetics have been subjected should be high.
Caring procedures carried out with the help of such cosmetics give a visible effect, almost do not differ from salon care products, and therefore the price for them will be high.
Certainly, many of the budget line products are worth considering, but you shouldn't expect the same effect from them as the professional line.
The best cleansers
Absolutely all ratings are somewhat subjective: funds that are currently being heard go to the TOP. But the average rating still brings to the fore the products that are leading in their segment.
Among the cleansing products for the face, the following examples can be called leaders.
- Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Oily Skin Formula. This remedy is preferred by hundreds of thousands of women who are trying to "tame" oily skin. Classic retinol and aloe vera, combined with a complex of other beneficial ingredients, made the product an effective and gentle cleaning product. Removal of excess fat, protection, comfort of use - everything about this product really lives up to the description.
- Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser. And this gel is a real salvation for dry skin. Formula components act quickly and gently, redness and irritation go away easily. Funds of this brand are in great demand today, since the results of their work are not long in coming.
- L`Oreal Paris Youth Code. Branded product for normal skin. Removes cosmetic residues from pores thoroughly. The product also contains salicylic acid, which is a powerful antiseptic.
Even a cleanser needs to be matched to age, with skin type being considered first. Besides, do not forget that you need to have a separate towel for your face, do not use it on other parts of the body, replace it regularly.
TOP creams
And this list includes not only brands - there are also luxury cosmetics and more affordable products. The main thing is that at the end of this year, the described creams are the leaders in their segment and deserve everyone's attention.

They will not be able to smooth out the first wrinkles, but they will become an unnecessary burden on the skin.

It has a very good composition, there are herbal extracts, useful acids, antioxidants. The softener present in the cream is obtained from vegetable oils. The cream creates a protective film on the skin, but at the same time it is not comedogenic (does not clog pores), the beneficial substances from the composition of the product are evenly distributed.
Korean products
Korean brands have ingredients that keep skin healthy. Therefore, betting on the safety of cosmetics is a strong "horse" of Asian manufacturers. Almost 90% of the ingredients are natural ingredients. You simply will not find dangerous chemical elements: there are no phthalates, no oxybenzone, or formaldehydes.
An example of a chic and relatively inexpensive Korean remedy is the Elizavecca Clay Bubble Mask. A clay mask with a texture reminiscent of jelly, after application to the skin, the composition increases in size, turning into small bubbles. And the most amazing thing is that the effect of the mask is instant: redness and peeling do not leave a trace of themselves, acne disappears, pores narrow, the tone evens out.
