Most of the girls who start using creams to even out the tone are wondering how to choose a quality product and which company to trust so as not to spoil the skin. In order to make a purchase and at the same time not make a mistake, you should familiarize yourself with the important characteristics - non-comedogenic formula, the presence of SPF; know about hazardous substances and what the epithelium needs at every stage of life.
This formula will prevent acne and other types of clogged pores. There are many substances that cause comedogenicity, but the main ones are:
A thin layer with one of these components will not bring any significant harm, but if you apply cosmetics in a thick layer or several layers, then this is 70% likely to negatively affect the condition of the cells.
Sunscreens are more important than you think. The sun emits two types of sunlight - B and A. The former are responsible for tanning, while the latter cause allergies, cell aging and, as a result, loss of their elasticity.
The functionality of SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is not so wide, but it is very important for the health and attractive appearance of women. Below are the tasks that the sunscreen performs.
Functions:
Tonalnik should not contain the following elements:
All of them are cheap and give the cream a more liquid and light texture, but they negatively affect the most extensive human organ.
The skin changes throughout life, so it is important to give it not only what fits attractively, but also what it needs at each age period.
The skin of teenagers is incredibly sensitive, so the slightest content of the dangerous substances mentioned earlier causes rashes like the usual rash, streptoderma or acne. For this reason, it is important to use those creams that have only natural ingredients in their formula.
According to cosmetologists, the best option for the skin of girls from 12-14 is cream, aimed primarily at nutrition. In addition, antibacterial ingredients such as seaweed, zinc and natural extracts, such as chamomile extract, will benefit.
Refreshing foundations are contraindicated due to the same sensitivity.
The hormonal background by this time becomes more stable, but still unstable and girls, after 20 years, still suffer from acne. So makeup lovers should pay attention to creams for treatment and moisturizing. In addition, they will go with a satin finish, which gives a slight shine.
Before applying any foundation, it is worth doing a cleansing of the face for a more even application.
By the age of 30, the hormonal background no longer changes, but here another test awaits women - the first signs of aging. The skin becomes drier, so women of this period should pay attention to moisturizing ingredients such as vegetable oils.
The signs of aging are becoming more pronounced, so women will need such a feature as a facelift. Thanks to him, it will be possible to slightly tighten the face and smooth out small wrinkles.
A matte finish should be avoided, as this look will only emphasize age.
When the natural strength of the epidermis is running out, it needs support more than ever, so you should give preference to the following elements - hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. The first will replenish natural resources, and the second will increase resistance against free radicals.
As a rule, tonalniks perform several functions at once, but one of them dominates. What is the purpose of foundation? It applies to:
To get the desired effect, you should first familiarize yourself with the purpose of the product.
Storage is also an important part of any thing, so the containers where the cosmetic base is stored must be durable. This function is well performed by plastic tubes, however, for connoisseurs of sophistication, manufacturers produce glass bottles. The latter are easy to break, but they look more stylish than plastic ones.
