Revival period: 11 express funds for winter
Text: Moore Sobolev, author of the Telegram-channel Fierce & Cute
Despite the fact that a couple of months we managed to spend in the conditions of European winter, the climate reminded about itself: frost, wind gusts and central heating do not spare even the most calm skin. So, the periodic rituals of effective care will be useful more or less for everyone. Moore Sobolev collected eleven express funds to maintain the skin in the conditions faced by the residents of the middle zone.
The recovering Elemis SOS Emergency Cream cream
4251 rub.
Classic express cream for dehydrated, dried or irritated skin - as part of a healing extract of very fashionable now Centella Asiatica, oils and many moisturizing ingredients. In fact, this is a shock dose of moisturizing and nutrition: the brand does not recommend using the cream all the time, but in order to quickly restore irritated sensitive skin, it is very even.
Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment Exfoliating Mask
4800 rub.
The bright American brand specializes in so-called means of instant beauty: many people appreciate mask films that can even out skin color and texture in a short time. Youthmud is a universal clay-based cleanser that tightens pores, slightly tightens the face and makes the skin smoother. At the same time, it is quite tough: when applied, it can pinch, but the brand immediately warns about this, calling the mask "tingling".
Concentrate for problem skin Pevonia SpaTeen Blemish B-Gone
2160 rub.
The line of the professional brand Pevonia SpaTeen is designed, as it is easy to guess, for teenagers - it is aimed primarily at combating hormonal acne, but it treats youthful skin with care. The series includes only the most necessary: cleanser, tonic, moisturizer, as well as a point remedy for combating inflammation based on salicylic acid and oils. The latter is recommended not only for teenagers, but also for adults, especially with sensitive skin.
Payot Pâte Grise L'Originale Cleansing Paste
1725 rub.
This remedy was invented by the founder of the brand, Dr. Nadia Payo, and over the past seventy years the composition and texture of the thick ointment has not changed: it is based on lanolin, talc, zinc oxide and oil. As in the case of many products with compositions that are simple at first glance, the paste works wonderfully, moreover, it is better than many modern analogues: it should be applied overnight to a ripening pimple in the morning to find it less noticeable.
Serum Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum
2885 rub.
Whey express agents rarely belong to it, yet it is usually a means of long-lasting action. But this Caudalie is an exception: it is very liquid, almost like milk, and is instantly absorbed, moisturizing even very dehydrated and flaky skin. It is ideal to use it after a mask or peeling - then the traces of winter suffering on the face will not be noticeable at all.
Bio-Energizing Cell Repair Balm Cosmetics 27 Baume 27 Balm
10 500 rub.
The first and most important means of a serious brand Cosmetics 27 is precisely the number of its ingredients and the brand was named. It is a thick, dense balm that restores the skin with any damage: Cosmetics 27 creator Michel Evrar recommends it even for skin with acne, which is usually prescribed to avoid such textures. Baume 27 is a permanent care product, but it can be used as a SOS remedy when the skin is irritated for any of the possible reasons.
Universal gel Shiseido Ibuki Multi Solution Gel
3915 rub.
This gel of the Japanese brand is proudly called "universal" and is designed to literally solve all problems - from inflammation to dryness and peeling. Salicylic acid, oils, glycerin and plant extracts, as well as silicones are mixed in the composition - the gel can be used even over makeup, and it will be imperceptible. Good for emergency situations when you want not only to provide urgent care, but also to use tone or concealer.
Cloth mask The Oozoo Face Gold Foilayer Mask
700 rub.
Dear Korean brand The Oozoo came to our market only at the end of last fall and immediately conquered instagram - metal masks and clever designs, where you need to stick a syringe with serum right before use, they really beg to make a selfie with them. Golden moisturizing mask is a hit: it not only looks good, but also quickly fixes the skin, and is suitable for anyone. And it should be noted another nice feature: the mask is extremely well "sitting", repeating the contours of the face.
Essence for the face of Thalgo Absolute Radiance Concentrate
2735 rub.
Hidden hit of the French brand, known for its love of algae and other marine components. Absolute Radiance Concentrate is a box with seven ampoules that can be used for a weekly course (half an ampoule in the morning and evening), or as an emergency remedy: glycolic acid and a good hyaluronic concentration, so that in just a few hours the skin becomes fresh and smoother.
Soothing Babor Stop Stress Fluid Concentrate
2810 rub.
Strict German brand Babor launched ampule courses several years ago. These concentrates are packaged in 2 ml and sold for a week, but the first results are noticeable after a day. There are ampoules with different functions, Stop Stress is a calming and fastest option. The brand intends a remedy for skin “irritated by stress,” but in fact it can be used for irritations and inflammations of any origin.
Malin + Goetz Resurfacing Glycolic Pads Facial Scrub
4400 rub.
The creators of the brand love to exfoliate and consider it an important stage of care, and these pads, saturated with glycolic acid, are called alternatives to chemical peeling. The concentration of acid here is not the greatest - 10% - but due to mechanical impact, strong impregnation and long exposure time (the brand recommends keeping the tool for twenty minutes), the exfoliation turns out to be serious, albeit mild. It is not worth to abuse it, but in order to properly clean the skin two or three times a week, these pads are the most important thing.
