A skin care and hydrated of any age will always look much prettier than a dehydrated and without any care, with three or four products is enough.
Many times we do not have time, nor a huge budget to constantly go to the aesthetic center. Simply the important thing is the key treatments and the constancy in following them.
We must avoid filling ourselves with products, so specific that, many times, we do not know what they are for or how they are used.
Or we use them during the first days, leaving the container half on the shelf, which is a waste of money.
In addition to a daily care, it is advisable to follow some weekly treatment, such as peelings and masks, and other monthly treatments such as deeper peels or facial cleansing.
In the daily routine is always the same for all skin types, the only difference depending on the type of skin, is the product to use and how to use it.
CLEANING
One of the most important bases to have beautiful skin is cleanliness. And in which there is more difference depending on the type of skin.
- It is essential to do it morning and night, when going to bed and when getting up.
- It is essential not to go to sleep with dirty or make-up skin.
For all skin types, I recommend removing the makeup with a micellar water, an oil or a cleansing milk. With a cotton and then clean the skin.
Cleaning, both at night and in the morning, will allow the skin to be more receptive to subsequent treatments and to keep the pore clean and closed.
Oily skin
You will need products that are rinsed with water, both in the morning and at night. Foams and gels are the favorite products of this skin. To do this, the face must be moistened, the product emulsified in a circular manner until a little foam is obtained, it is important to insist on the corners of the nose and chin (where it will accumulate more fat). And rinse with plenty of water, if possible twice.
As a bonus I recommend using a tonic somewhat astringent, to be able to eliminate excess fat.
Normal skins with mixed tendency
Depending on the trend I advise to use products similar to those of oily skin. At night a deep cleaning is essential, and for this, a product that is rinsed with water, a foam or a cleansing gel is advisable.
Although this type of skin, by not segregating so much fat naturally, during the morning can be allowed to pass a tonic or micellar water. Everything depends on the taste of each person. Another important factor is the ambient temperature, since if it is hot, logically this cleaning will be more necessary also in the morning.
Dry skin
In dry skin it is better not to use water, for them it is better to use cleansing milk, oils or micellar water specific for sensitive skin that contains high content of moisturizing agents. The dry skin has a much tighter pore and does not get so dirty, although in this cleaning it will eliminate the dead cells daily getting a clearer skin.
The cleansing milk must be applied directly by putting a little lotion or milk in the hand and with the fingertips, massage in a circular manner starting with the eyes continuing on the rest of the face.
HYDRATION, PROTECTION AND NUTRITION
This step is the second basic, I like to apply before the eye contour cream that on the whole face.
Some creams are useful for both the eye area and the rest of the face, however, I advise using a specific cream.
Oily skin
These skins do not need creams, on the contrary, the fewer products we put better, provided they are really fat.
Of course sometimes you can become dehydrated, for this I advise using only gels or serum. Oil-free creams are also appropriate. People who have oily skin tend to be thicker skins and less wrinkles are marked, although their main problem is flaccidity, which is why the most appropriate treatments are those that act reinforcing the skin, for this the silicon and the slightly acidic gels, which will activate the production of collagen.
At night do not use any product. If there was a problem like some granite, just use a specific product for it.
I recommend using serum with fruit acids such as alpha-hydroxyacids, although not for a long time to avoid keratinization of the outer layer of the skin. Alternate it with serum with active ingredients such as DMAE and collagen.
Normal skins with mixed tendency
The normal skin or mixed tendency is that which has a little more fat in the T part. It needs hydration during the day once the skin has been cleansed.
The ideal cream is the one that will protect from the cold in winter and when it starts to make good weather, or if you live in warmer places, I advise using it with sunscreen to avoid skin spots.
These skins can use the same cream during the day as at night, and really, unless they have suffered excessive cold or the tendency is dryness is not essential a nourishing cream. Although at night is when we can apply treatments for repair and prevention of wrinkles, such as growth factors or stem cells.
The creams that I advise are those that avoid dehydration and wrinkles of expression, so I would give them a cream with minerals and vitamins, as well as some floral element that will help to improve the texture of the skin.
The creams with hyaluronic acid will help to improve the wrinkles.
Dry skin
These skins are those that at this point need more dedication and care, especially at the time of choosing the most appropriate treatment.
The dry skin does not secrete so much fat follicles, so you have to provide it externally, we have to replace this fat that we do not have naturally.
For this we must not forget a day of day cream and night cream.
I advise using two different creams, one during the day and the other for the night, because while we sleep it is the moment when the skin will regenerate, you can put more cream (since it does not matter if the skin shines) and the skin will be more receptive
The day cream has to be specific for dry skin, something more creamy than other types of skin, the ideal ones are those that carry hydrating components such as hyaluronic acid that will help to provide water to the skin. The night creams are ideal to be enriched with rosehip oils, argan oil or jojoba oil. What we call nutritious creams.
These skins need their application time, the absorption will be faster but this will force many times to repeat the operation. If we make the cream emulsify in the skin, massaging it, it will be much more effective.
Sunscreens are also very important for this type of skin, since being thinner, they are more prone to staining.
EYE CONTOUR
The cream for the eye area, is one of the fundamental, this part of the face is much thinner, making it much more sensitive to both aging and dryness and wrinkles also of expression.
Oily skin
These skins, not needing so many creams for hydration and nutrition in general, so you run the risk of neglecting the area around the eyes. In this area the sebaceous glands are located in the lower part of the eye. The main problem with this type of skin is to make bags for accumulation of fat or even cholesterol plates in that area and below the eyebrows.
MY RECOMMENDATIONS
Obviously the world of cosmetics is huge and often a bit confusing to acquire one or the other, I think it is positive not to acquire all the "complete kit" of the same brand unless it is very specific, I prefer to find the most suitable product each cosmetic line.
Also the value for money is important, since not the most expensive product is the most suitable for all types of skins. That is why the fundamental thing is good advice at the time of acquiring them and of course the experience itself.
On the idea of changing brands or products often, it is true in quotes, for example, it is important not to abuse acidic creams, that is why it is important to rest seasons, even after using some creams for too long, the skin can be reactivated to them.
Other people have been using the same creams all their lives and have no need to change them, although these creams are usually quite basic and have few assets.
