Below zero: 12 life-saving tools for winter conditions
Author's lists of the best cosmetics - perhaps the most fascinating reading, provided that the author understands the topic. We ourselves love these people, so we asked Anya Khrustaleva-Hecht to write about 12 tools that will help us survive the winters that have already begun for six months. As the owner of the skin, which Anya herself describes as "extremely problematic, with which everything is always wrong," she remembered for us a dozen of the most effective means that would instantly or almost instantly heal all the wounds received in this very duel.
Bübchen Wind & Wetter Creme Hand Cream
In terms of satisfaction Elementary basic skin needs (namely, hydration and nutrition) children's products - the number one lifeguards. Firstly, all of them are by default hypoallergenic and pH-neutral, and secondly, like their target audience, they don’t know how to lie at all. On the packaging of this tube it is written that it reliably protects the skin from the wind - in this way it really protects, and it is the best of all. The composition of the contents of the tube is primitive: panthenol, beeswax, natural almond and carite oils and vitamin E - it seems that all genius is really simpler than simple. I love to rake the mail on the go, and the iPhone and gloves are notoriously incompatible things, plus I either forget them all the time or lose them all the time, but with this cream I finally forgot what hands are, indistinguishable from emery paper to the touch . It is sold in every first pharmacy and every second supermarket and costs a penny. I warmly advise everyone.
Intensive night care Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Hand and Nail Treatment
Sarah Chapman is one of the few people whose outstanding merit and tremendous talent compel to use the hated epithet "cult". Chapman is precisely that cult London doctor, everyone who was lucky enough to enroll at least six months in advance go to her, because a dermatologist and cosmetologist can not be better found. It was in Sarina Skinesis Clinic that this was the first time for me - for the first time! - during the long nine years of a grueling fight against acne, I saw a clean face in the mirror and, not least, I continue to observe it this way to this day. In general, I trust the personal cosmetics line of this brilliant blonde unconditionally and urge everyone to do the same. Inside this bottle is a highly active synthesis of eight armor-piercing oils (including argan, grape seed and jojoba), extracts of tuberose and jasmine, and of antioxidants with vitamins. You put a couple of drops of concentrate on your palm, put it on top of the glove (attached), fall into a dream, and in the morning think: "This is really a Hollywood special effect!" Among other things, the tool prolongs the durability of the manicure and allows you to gradually switch to the uncut one for those who have not yet: the condition of the cuticle after a couple of applications reaches the ideal.
Fish oil capsules
No comments. Everyone who has a grandmother knows about this folk remedy, and it is truly as effective as it is banal and easily accessible. Those who find the strength to come to terms with not the most pleasant aftertaste, put a bonus: not only skin, but also nails with hair will be noticeably better. A week course - and the lips no longer crack in the cold. That is, in general. Totally.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentrè multifunctional cream concentrate
About this legendary French pharmacy cream has already been written so much that I don’t see any sense of excitement. It is better to try once: not only is it bold just as much as it needs to be absorbed instantly and not leave a greasy film, it is also - concurrently - almost the best primer in the world: apply it on your palm equal proportions of any tonal and this concentrate - and you will understand what I mean.
Embryolisse Masque-Crème Hydratant and La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Masque Moisturizing Masks
Both masks - all-powerful SOS-means which will hasten to help in extreme cases (personally, in mine it was a mini frostbite after a whole day on the Odintsovo roller ski track). Both need to be applied on the face for about a quarter of an hour, then remove the excess with a cotton pad and enjoy the absolute absence of not only dryness, but also dark circles under the eyes and mimic wrinkles - in the case of Embryolisse, this result is due to the presence of hyaluronic acid in the composition.
Vitamin E capsules
Perfectly eliminates flaking and amazingly transforms the skin drained by aggressive cosmetic procedures such as microdermabrasion, artificial heating, tanning beds and other things. In parallel, it recreates the natural lipid balance, significantly heals irritated scalp and even fights dandruff. At the same time, it has unpleasant side effects, so it’s not worthwhile to get involved in it and it is better to consult a doctor before taking it.
La Mer The Lip Balm and Carmex Soothing Lip Balm Lip Balms
Sounds pompous and unconvincing, but this is really the best lip cleaner I've ever tried, and over the years of active, almost wholesale consumption (and working in the glossy side by side with the editors of beauty departments) I tried a lot. Carmex, and without me, has already been praised by almost all the leading makeup artists and the most authoritative beauty bloggers of the planet - for the fact that he instantly regenerates the weathered lips of the lips even to blood and at the same time smells disrespectfully. As for La Mer, it also has a rather pleasant aroma - mint, to be exact. It almost does not feel on the lips, does not erase for several hours (several hours of continuous ingestion of liquid and smoking, including anything), contains a patented mineral-protein-lipid-wonder-complex and, in a matter of seconds, turns lips thinned out by low temperatures. in the softest wow-something.
Lucas' Papaw Ointment Body Cream
Legendary product, which has been produced in Australia since the beginning of the last century according to the recipe that was developed at the same time (and unchanged until now). The author, as the name implies, is Dr. Lucas, the main ingredient is papaya jelly, which has excellent antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties. At home, it is sold at every corner, we have - so far, it seems, alas, nowhere, but it’s worth getting it at will: this smelly (there is such a minus, but it is more than compensated by the result) gel even cuts, burns and diaper rash, not to mention already about flaky, irritated and cracked from dry skin.
Body Creams Aesop Rejuvenate Intensive Body Balm and Petitgrain Hydrating Body Gel
The two most correct (both - interchangeable) body cream of all that I've ever smeared on myself. Only the second is better than the first one: they are absorbed in half a minute, they do not leave a trace of microcracks and skin areas that are whitened by lack of moisture, in some inexplicable way they even get rid of abrasions faster than usual plus matting the skin. Mast, what is called, hev.
