What face emulsions are needed at different ages

In order to properly care for the skin of the face, you need to choose the means that help you. Their choice depends on the type of skin, age and specific problems that need to be solved with the help of cosmetics for care.

Daily facial care includes cleansing, moisturizing, toning and nutrition. Moisturizing the skin is designed to ensure its saturation with useful substances, maintain elasticity and resistance to external influences. Cosmetics in the form of an emulsion successfully cope with this task. It is lighter compared to a moisturizer, lotion or serum and absorbs faster. It consists of oily substances and water connected by an emulsifier. The remedy acts more delicately and carefully, in fact, being a deliverer of active substances and components to the upper layer of the skin.

Direct-acting emulsion, or "oil in water"
is suitable for oily and problematic skin

The product softens, creates a barrier against moisture loss. It is easy to apply without leaving a greasy shine, has a cooling effect, is well absorbed, gives a quick moisturizing effect, but it is easily washed off with water.

This emulsion is suitable for the care of oily or problematic facial skin prone to inflammation and acne.

A reverse-acting emulsion, or "water in oil"
For dry, sensitive and problematic skin

Here, the water-soluble skin care components are in an oily environment. The task of this type of emulsions is to enhance the effect of active substances, allowing them to pe*****te the skin. The product creates a protective film, moisturizes well, prevents moisture loss, does not wash off with water. But at the same time, the product is absorbed more slowly and makes the skin shine, which can make it sticky.

Such an emulsion is better to choose for the care of dry and sensitive skin prone to irritation.

If the emulsion is usually water droplets in oil (or vice versa), then in the lamellar there are continuous layers, or lamellae, of phospholipids instead of oil droplets (they are closest to the natural components involved in skin metabolism), and there is a layer of water between them. The product perfectly mimics the lipid layer of the skin. Lamellar emulsion is perfectly compatible with the skin, restores its protective lipid barrier, forms an air-permeable film, saturates the skin with useful substances for a long period, prevents moisture loss.

At the same time, the emulsion is able not only to moisturize and protect. It can perform various tasks: to cleanse, nourish, correct, mat, be at the same time anti-aging and sunscreen.

As a rule, it is recommended for skin care after 25 years.

Adverse external factors — cold, wind, bright sun, temperature changes, aggressive cosmetic procedures, age—related changes - weaken and damage the skin, making it sensitive.

In addition, an emulsion of this type may contain low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, seboregulating substances, as well as valuable oils and coenzyme Q10.

So the use of such an emulsion is akin to a set of measures to save the skin from deficiencies caused by skin features or age-related changes. It contains active plant components. They soothe and deeply moisturize the skin, reducing its sensitivity. As a rule, such an emulsion serves as part of the course of treatment of problem skin.

It is applied daily to well-cleansed skin. At the same time, application to the eye area should be avoided. The product can become the basis for applying daytime makeup.

What should be the composition of cosmetics for oily skin

Proper care for oily skin should solve two main tasks: regulating the activity of the sebaceous glands and reducing inflammation.

If your skin is prone to increased fat content, you should pay special attention to the choice of cosmetics that you use daily. Just one component can provoke an increased secretion of sebum (sebum) and, as a result, contribute to the clogging of pores, the appearance of acne and comedones.

In this article I will tell you what should be in the composition of cosmetics for oily skin, and which components, on the contrary, should be avoided.

Useful ingredients for oily skin
AHA-acids
Malic, citric, lactic, glycolic acids. They act on the surface of the skin: soften the stratum corneum, gently dissolve and remove dead cells, whiten stagnant spots and post-acne, make the skin soft, tender and fresh.

Salicylic acid
It pe*****tes deeply into the pores, cleansing them of dirt and sebum, fights germs and prevents the appearance of acne.

Clay
White, yellow, green and blue clay works as an absorbent, pulling out all impurities from the skin, provides a detox effect, mattifies and saturates the skin with useful trace elements.

Zinc
It has an astringent effect, narrows the ducts of the sebaceous glands and protects against ultraviolet light.

Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe vera gel
Intensively moisturize and help to retain moisture in the skin.

Essential oils and extracts of citrus and coniferous plants
Normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, neutralize inflammatory processes in the cells, get rid of acne and acne.

Extracts of nettle and yarrow
They clean and tighten pores well, heal acne and pustular rashes.

Undesirable ingredients for oily skin
Vegetable oils
We are talking only about those oils that have a high degree of comedogenicity (the ability to clog pores). These include those that contain saturated fatty acids: soy, coconut, wheat germ oil and cocoa.

Oils that are safe for oily skin also exist — these are argan, shea, mango, rosehip, black cumin, h**p, sesame oils.

Mineral oils and waxes
Lanolin, vaseline, paraffin — these components are not very useful in themselves, and even more so for oily skin. They do not pe*****te into the deep layers of the skin, but form a film on its surface that interferes with free cellular respiration, sebum outflow and normal exfoliation of dead cells. As a result, the pores become clogged and new inflammations occur.

Alcohols
Wiping the skin with alcohol—containing tonics and lotions in order to dry it is a mistake. Alcohol not only violates the hydrolipidic mantle of the skin, which provides its natural protection, but also provokes increased sebum secretion.

Sulfates (SLS and SLES)
They pull moisture out of the skin and clog the pores.

Synthetic dyes and flavors
They can cause redness and irritation, acne and even allergies.
