Journalist Yana Zubtsova about creams, plastics and cosmetology
FOR THE FACE "HEAD"we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of girls of interest to us - and show all this to you. A new heroine is Yana Zubtsova, a beauty editor, co-author and co-owner of the first professional beauty blog about beauty beautyinsider.ru.
About plastic surgery
I am not afraid of the words "facelift", "rhinoplasty" and "blepharoplasty". My mother is a maxillofacial surgeon. Textbooks for medical students, how to fix a cleft palate or cleft lip, were all over the house. They were something of an ABC for me. Much more, I’m afraid of people who have lived with an unloved nose all their lives, are hesitant to redo it and hate those who have noses loved ones. If you want to change something in yourself, change it. Just find a normal doctor. They are, honestly.
About "serious" cosmetology
This area of the industry, connected with mesonites, devices, fillers by other methods that are on the verge of medicine and cosmetology, develops at the speed of sound - and it scares me more than surgery. The risks here are no less, but the evidence of efficiency and, most importantly, safety is a "sparing" approach. Many new techniques do not undergo any long period of approbation. No one wants to wait: neither the inventors of the apparatus, nor the clinics that buy them, nor the patients who dream of eternal youth or getting rid of cellulite "tomorrow morning and forever." Who is the loser - I think it is clear.
About creams, serums, masks
The biggest mistake is to expect a wow effect from them. There will be no miracle. All that the most perfect and excellent care products can do is keep the skin in fair condition. Good moisturizing, smoothing complexion, no irritation, peeling, discomfort - yes. Lifting effect - in homeopathic doses. Wrinkles will not disappear. But, maybe, will appear a little later. And this is a lot. As experienced shoemakers (and cosmetologists) say: "A polished shoe is not a new shoe. But it is still better than a non-polished one."
Pro makeup
Not a fan of make-up to the extent that can be expected from a person who has been working in beauty journalism all his life. Not able to catch the smallest nuances of all these "Shimmers", "glitters" and "finishes" in lipsticks, shadows and varnishes, which are constantly written in beauty blogs. And, frankly, I'm just too lazy to do this. But I am very respectful of the new generation of photoshop effect: highlighters, concealers, BB creams and powders, which do not settle flour on the face, but give the effect of a light “split” - and thereby create the effect of perfect skin.
About aromas
Beauty-area that has no practical meaning. None of the spirits make you "successful, self-confident, irresistible modern woman", about which they love to write about in press releases. None of the spirits will lay at your feet the entire subway car. And no spirits guarantee that you will make the right impression on the interview. And at the same time there were cases when spirits helped me to survive. Perfumery as an art is completely useless. For this, and I love her faithfully.
