Light is my mirror: How many kg of cosmetics have you been using for 10 years?

Many of us do makeup: someone more often, someone less. Each application involves the subsequent cleansing of the skin - and attention to this process must be given no less than the selection of decorative cosmetics. Garnier and I decided to create a calculator that will let you know how much money you put on your face, compare your makeup habits with the five heroines of different professions and lifestyles, and select the most suitable way for you to cleanse.

Sofia Serkina master of sports of international class in modern pentathlon

We train all the time, one day combining classes in four types. We rest for two hours at most, and work from eight in the morning to eight in the evening. It happens, and at six in the morning the training begins - they are still asleep, and you are already in the saddle. In the classroom, of course, I do not dye: it is just uncomfortable.

In a fencing mask, your face sweats heavily, while running, too, and at closed arenas you completely die of stuffiness. In these moments, I want to wash away all the excess. It is necessary to clear skin not only for the night, but also during trainings. And, since my skin is dry and sensitive, and the chlorinated water in the pool dries it even more, I pay double attention to hydration: I make masks, I use serum with vitamin C - my face shines.

During off hours, I usually even out the tone and tint my eyes. But I am going to the events with pleasure: I can go to the salon, and I can pack up myself. It's nice to finally allow yourself to do the styling, make-up - in sports you quickly forget about beauty.

But I still paint a little, I don’t walk with makeup for long and always wash it thoroughly: first I use tonic or micellar water, and then cleansing foam to wash off the remnants of tonic and micelles. Well, I apply a moisturizer.

Anna Myasina office worker

I work in the central office of a large international company, but there are no hard requirements for the appearance. Clean hair, light makeup without bright accents.

I have a lot of freckles, so the usual tonal means do not suit me: they overlap the freckles, but in part, and it looks strange. Therefore, I prefer BB-cream to heavy textures. In addition, I bring eyebrows and lash eyelashes - that's all. But in the evening, dust and dirt are still deposited on top of the makeup layer. We live in a metropolis full of cars, we ride the subway, we sweat - and on the way back from work I already dream to be home as soon as possible and wash everything off. Evening care is very important to me - these twenty minutes, when rushing to work is no longer necessary. I like how skin is transformed. I prefer cleansing masks to gels and scrubs, and I wash them off with a bamboo towel - it gives a very delicate scrubbing effect due to the villi without damaging the skin.

Before that, I remove makeup with micellar water - and use it to wipe my face in the morning before applying a moisturizer. To moisturize your skin when working in an office is very important: it dries strongly from constant work at the computer, and in the winter, dry heat from batteries is added to this.

I love makeup, so I paint outside of work. Exception - the gym. If we talk about decorative cosmetics, I use CC-cream, eyebrow cream and lip balm. I add rouge or bronzer to my mood.

In ordinary life, I am not fond of sculpting, but in the frame it is necessary - otherwise the face seems flat. Do not forget that make-up for TV is made a little brighter and more contrast than usual, as studio lighting eats makeup. But in general, studio makeup does not bring difficulties. I found for myself a suitable option that does not seem too bright in life or insufficiently saturated on the screen.

When I worked in the night slot, where full readiness should be at 04:30 in the morning, it affected the skin tone. But vitamins, electric currents, nourishing masks helped a lot - I have my own favorites among the tissue ones, they always help out. By the way, the tan also enlivens the face a little. And the main thing is to drink water and properly, thoroughly clean the skin in several stages.

I have tried a lot: oil and tonics. At first I use gel, and after - micellar water. It perfectly removes makeup and is suitable for the area around the eyes.

I actively spend on nursing, on expensive creams, and I use little decorative cosmetics - except that I always bring eyebrows. Maybe because I see that make-up artists do it with my face — I can't repeat that. Some only eyes can make up forty minutes, changing not only the shape, but even the look: make soft from sharp.

The skin under the make-up does not breathe at all: these funds are sharpened not for usefulness, but for resistance so that they do not melt under lighting devices. The main task of make-up artists is to emphasize the face graphics as much as possible, because the camera always flattens the face and adds kilograms. In an ordinary make-up, I feel quite comfortable, my skin easily tolerates it. Another thing is plastic: these are special silicone noses, scars. And worst of all, when they face aging. You say: "Frown!" - and covered with a special silicone, which pours and fixes all the folds with a film. And then, when after twelve hours on the site make-up is removed, the face remains wrinkled. And it takes at least a day to recover.

Almost any make-up filmmakers remove the usual micellar. But I don’t have enough of this for a complete cleansing, I always wash with the foam afterwards.

Victoria Schneider visagiste

Although there are many cosmetics in my life, I don’t get tired of it. And I dye every day: sometimes it can be nude, sometimes bright makeup. I can not afford to go to the shooting with a "naked" face.

I immediately test new products on myself, it is interesting to see the color, to check how the product behaves on the skin. But my everyday option is well-developed skin with a radiance, with an active blush and dark or red lips. To create such an image, I use seven different products. But I don’t feel any gravity, no effect of the mask - there will be no such effect if I choose the right products for myself, based on how the skin behaves during the day.

The first rule of skin care is a good cleansing. I use a biphasic liquid with makeup oil. This is the first stage. The second stage is a gel for washing with exfoliating particles and a lip scrub about once a week. The third is toning with tonic. And the fourth - moisturizing the entire face and the area around the eyes. I do this every night. Plus in the morning I repeat all the same, except for the first step. It all takes about five minutes. And twice a week I use masks: cleansing, moisturizing or for shine. If you do not have the strength to wash off the makeup at all, you can, of course, use wet wipes.

But skipping the process of removing makeup is wrong. I missed it once, twice - and then serious skin problems begin.

Micellar water is a liquid that contains micelles - tiny particles that look like buds under a microscope. Getting on the skin, they capture the fat-soluble impurities - sebum, cosmetics - and "lock" them inside.

After micellar water, additionally rinsing the face or washing with the use of additional agents is not necessary, because micellar water, unlike most cleansing agents, does not disturb the lipid balance.

Micellar water can remove any makeup. Start with the eye area: use one cotton pad for each eye, swiping from the nose to the outer corner from the bridge of the nose under the eyebrow and from the outside to the inside at the bottom. Process the right clockwise, and the left - against. Do not press hard and be sure to change discs as they become dirty. Then go to the face, walking along the massage lines with both hands at the same time, without stretching the skin. We run from the center of the chin to the lower jaw, from the corner of the mouth to the ear lobe, from the wing of the nose to the temple and from the center of the forehead to the temple. Usually it is enough three or four times for each of the lines.

The main thing in cleansing is to wash with a product that is suitable for skin type. It is very important not to fall asleep with makeup. In the morning, it is also important to cleanse the skin: first, we wash off the nightly care products, secondly, we remove the products of metabolism, allow the skin to breathe and prepare it for applying products of the day appointment. Regularity, aliasing and properly selected skin care are the basic principles of cleansing.
