Reviews of the firming face cream “Lifting and Strengthening” from Avon

What is lifting cream

It is important to understand that effective creams with a lifting effect are, first of all, anti-aging cosmetics designed to fight the signs of skin aging. The recommended start of its use does not depend on age, but on the natural changes in facial skin.

If you notice the following signs appear:

• the production of collagen and elastin slows down;
• wrinkles appear, and the skin loses its tone and elasticity;
• skin tone becomes dull and nervous, age spots appear;
• the oval of the face, jawline or cheekbones “swimmed”...

...it's time to turn your attention to rejuvenating and firming creams with a lifting effect.

Description of Anew Clinical cream “Lifting and Strengthening”

Anew Clinical “Ideal Lifting” cream from Avon is created for a multidirectional tightening effect: it demonstrates lifting exactly in those areas where it is required, and does not create the effect of a tightened face-mask.

The cream contains effective anti-aging components:

1. Glycolic acid, which reduces sebum production, gently exfoliates the skin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
2. Thiodipropionic acid, which reduces the production of melanin and suppresses glycation, thereby erasing age spots.

As a result of using the product, the skin becomes more elastic, moisturized and dense, the oval of the face is corrected, the shade improves, and wrinkles disappear.

The product should not be used in sunny seasons due to glycolic acid: it increases the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.

Effect of lifting face cream

A properly selected lifting cream works in several directions at once:

• Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin - reducing the number and severity of wrinkles, restoring firmness and elasticity to the skin.
• Accelerates cell regeneration and renewal - which allows you to even out skin tone and fight pigment spots.
• Increases skin density and elasticity - remodeling and restoring facial contours and clarity of lines.

In addition, lifting and firming face creams often contain additional ingredients (vitamin C, acids, peptides and nourishing oils) that help moisturize, nourish and restore the skin from the inside.

Alginate cream-gel with chlorella with lifting effect 500ml

Alginate cream-gel for the body with a culture of living green algae in the Workshop of Taste mvfood.ru provides smoothing of the skin, elimination of wrinkles, has a pronounced drainage effect, helps reduce volume and weight loss, eliminates cellulite, tightens and smoothes the skin, restores elasticity.

Body gel with this unique seaweed and sodium alginate has a beneficial effect on the skin:

• nourishes and saturates with vitamins and microelements;
• normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
• enriches the skin with oxygen, promotes detoxification;
• relieves irritation and redness;
• promotes collagen production;
• perfectly restores the skin, renews epidermal cells, accelerates regeneration;
• has a rejuvenating effect;
• helps eliminate cellulite and stretch marks, fights other imperfections on the skin;
• moisturizes well;
• reduces pores, smoothes wrinkles;
• improves blood circulation.

Alginate is an extract from red and brown algae mined in the Philippines.

Representatives of Ancient India and Ancient China knew about the miraculous properties of brown algae, but alginates became more widely known when the Japanese had to cope with the consequences of the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Natural, safe and effective sorbents were needed to bind radionuclides, and alginates turned out to be such sorbents.

As a result, the Japanese began to add alginates to all food products instead of gelatin and got an amazing effect - now life expectancy in Japan is one of the highest in the world.

Chlorella, which is the basis of the cream-gel, is used in the treatment of acne, dermatitis, inflammation, eczema, as well as for skin regeneration after cosmetic procedures.

The inexhaustible ability of chlorella to “switch on” the processes of self-healing and rejuvenation was appreciated by humanity several thousand years ago - ancient Eastern treatises describe chlorella as “the most important sea grass for preserving strength and youth.”

Chlorella improves metabolism, suppresses inflammatory processes, softens the skin, and gives soft firmness and elasticity. Alginate wrap draws out impurities and toxins through the skin, relieves inflammation, moisturizes the skin, maintains elasticity and muscle tone, and not only protects, but also prolongs the youth of the skin.

In addition, alginate body wrap gel actively fights excess weight and eliminates cellulite. The effectiveness of the gel is amazing - after the first procedures, volumes are visibly reduced and the skin is noticeably tightened!

Ingredients: chlorella microalgae culture, sodium alginate. Chlorella is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, contains about 50% protein, minerals, fiber, chlorophyll 4%, vitamins (C, beta-carotene, B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, choline, vitamin E, vitamin TO).

The algae also includes: carotenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides and glycoproteins.

In addition, chlorella has no toxic metabolites or degradation products.

Directions for use:

Apply the gel to the body in an even thin layer, cover with cellophane or cloth, leave for 30 minutes. Rinse off any remaining residue with warm water. Use one to three times a week until the desired result is achieved.

What should be the composition of a good cream with a lifting effect?

Good face creams with a lifting effect, as a rule, have a complex composition, the action of all components of which competently complements each other. Particular attention should be paid to products that contain the following ingredients:

• Hyaluronic and glycolic acids - the first intensively nourishes and moisturizes the skin from the inside, the second helps fight pigment spots and even out the complexion.
• Vitamin C - it is a powerful antioxidant, refreshes and rejuvenates the skin, protects it from the harmful effects of free radicals.
• Peptides are special molecules that work in synergy with other substances to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin.
• Nourishing oils - in particular, apricot and shea butter - provide intense nutrition to the skin and are responsible for its hydration.
• Rhamnose is an active component developed in VICHY Laboratories and protected by patents. Rhamnose has a deep effect on all layers of the skin, helping to increase its density and elasticity.
• The HEPES complex is another development of VICHY Laboratories, designed to enhance metabolic processes and even out skin texture.

Active ingredients included in the cream:

Chamomile extract

Moisturizes, refreshes, cleanses and nourishes facial skin. Chamomile extract helps normalize the function of the sebaceous glands in oily skin and seborrhea, and also improve blood microcirculation. Using cosmetic products with chamomile helps whiten pigmented skin, making it matte and velvety. Chamomile is not an allergen and has a delicate effect.

Aloe extract

A plant like aloe is simply a storehouse of substances beneficial for the skin. It is used for inflammation, dryness and sagging skin. Aloe contains amino acids, essential oils and vitamins. Allantoin, which is part of this plant, acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting delicate skin from the effects of free radicals. The peculiarity of aloe is that it is a universal plant, that is, it can be used for both oily and dry skin, both at a young and mature age.

Algae extract

Among the marine plants and algae most often used in medicine and dermatology, we can highlight the extract of kelp, a representative of brown algae. Products with kelp soften, nourish, moisturize the skin, also relieve inflammation and provide a light drainage effect. Laminaria also promotes detoxification and regeneration of the skin.

Ginseng extract

The unique chemical composition of this plant determines its beneficial effect on the condition of the skin. Cosmetics with ginseng regulate metabolic processes, improve microcirculation, stimulate tissue regeneration, nourish and restore tired skin. Ginseng contains amino acids, vitamins E and C, which have a rejuvenating effect on the skin.

Silk Protein Extract

Silk fibrous proteins contain valuable amino acids. The structural protein fibrin, found in silk protein extract, promotes the production of glycine, which has amazing effects on the skin. Glycine penetrates deep into the tissue, stimulates skin regeneration and moisturizes it. Silk amino acids smooth the skin, giving it a healthy appearance and inner glow. Silk proteins in the cosmetic product promote better absorption of other active ingredients and effectively tighten the skin. Silk protein extract is included in high-quality medicinal and luxury cosmetics.

D-panthenol

An analogue of vitamin B5 is actively used in dermatology to relieve dry skin, burns, cracks, erosions and dermatitis. The panthenol contained in the gel significantly moisturizes, soothes the skin, relieves irritation and itching, and also smoothes out small wrinkles.

Which cream to choose for face contour tightening

Facial tightening products have become components of many brands that produce skin care products. In any pharmacy or cosmetics store you can see entire shelves filled with creams with a lifting effect. To make a choice, you need to know the needs of your skin.

The most popular and effective firming creams:

1. Night cream from Nivea Q10 Plus with a tightening effect. The cream contains coenzyme Q 10, which greatly decreases in the skin with age, leading to loss of firmness and elasticity of the epidermis. It has the main effect at night, restores and moisturizes the skin, smoothes out fine wrinkles, and reduces deep age folds.
2. Day and night cream “Ultra-lift” from Garnier. The product nourishes the skin well, tightens pores and

   
   returns the natural color to the face. The cream is aimed at reducing age-related changes in the epidermis and giving the oval of the face clearer contours. Thanks to comprehensive round-the-clock care, the necessary synthesis of beneficial microelements is constantly maintained in the skin, which helps keep the skin in good shape and have a fresh appearance.

3. Day cream for skin tightening Hyaluron Filler from Eucerin. The product consists of hyaluronic acid, soy sprout extract, glucoside. The cream perfectly restores the structure of the skin, gives elasticity and freshness. The rejuvenating effect is visible after just a few uses.

It is worth noting that among the inexpensive but effective series of creams, you can find “Black Pearl”. These products show good results after 5-7 days of use. The skin becomes tightened, wrinkles are significantly reduced, the epidermis is saturated with moisture and significantly softens.

Rules for using firming face cream

The main thing to remember: most lifting creams containing hyaluronic and glycolic acids, as well as vitamin C, should be used only “under the cover” of products with SPF protection of at least 15. The remaining rules for applying modeling face creams are very simple:

1. Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser, such as Purete Thermale Micellar Water with Minerals.
2. Apply LiftActiv Supreme Serum 10 Nourishing Anti-Wrinkle Serum or LiftActiv Antioxidant Youth Skin Concentrate. Gently massage the product into the skin with your fingertips.
3. After the serum has been absorbed, use your chosen day or night cream with a lifting effect. Simply apply it to the skin, gently patting it with your fingers, and wait a few minutes for all the beneficial substances to be completely absorbed.
4. For additional nutrition and hydration, you can use LiftActiv hyaluronic facial masks 2-3 times a week.

We hope that these simple measures and regular use of good products with a lifting effect will allow you to maintain youthful and elastic skin for a long time, as well as a clear oval face!

Composition and main properties of firming creams

Preserving the youth of the skin, restoring its firmness and elasticity - these are the main tasks facing modern facial care products.

For a cream to give good results, it must have the correct composition:

• natural collagen (plant, animal, marine);

  

• hyaluronic acid, glycerin;
• pro-vitamin A;
• sea ​​buckthorn, olive, coconut oils;
• essential oils;
• peptides (substances that can penetrate deep into the skin and act from the inside).

It is worth noting that all components must be natural. Excessive presence of perfume components may cause an allergic reaction or skin irritation. Therefore, it is better not to buy such creams.

The main properties of the face contour tightening cream:

1. Eliminate dryness and flaking of the skin.
2. Giving the oval of the face clear contours.
3. Intensive hydration and nutrition of the epidermis.
4. Smoothing folds and wrinkles.
5. Stimulation of blood circulation and metabolism in tissues.

Intensive skin aging can be associated with dryness and flaking. If you solve this problem with the help of a tightening cream with moisturizing properties, you can restore the skin's elasticity and healthy color.

Do-it-yourself magic face creams with a lifting effect.
Is it possible to prepare creams with a lifting effect at home? Of course!

Magic cream with lifting effect and DMAE

When Nicholas Perricone published his best-selling book on the "facial diet" (also known as the Perricone diet), everyone knew about the benefits of DMAE for the skin. However, creams produced industrially and containing this ingredient are unreasonably expensive.

Luckily, DMAE can be purchased separately and is relatively inexpensive. This means that you can make your own cream at home, and it will cost you much less.

What is DMAE?

This is an abbreviation for dimethylaminoethanol, a naturally occurring compound found in brain tissue, and is better known as a “smart drug” because it helps improve memory and other cognitive abilities (especially good for older people), and also has a positive effect on a person’s mood. .

DMAE is less known to the general public as a cosmetic ingredient. Studies have shown that it increases skin elasticity, thereby tightening it, and helps get rid of age spots.

How to make a cream with a lifting effect with DMAE?

DMAE is sold in liquid, powder, and capsule forms. If you buy the substance in liquid form, then you will have to do practically nothing: just add a few drops to the chosen base (cream or oil to which you want to give a lifting effect) and mix thoroughly.

If you have DMAE powder on hand, open the capsule and pour about half the contents into a small container (such as a wide bottle cap), then add a few drops of distilled water. DMAE powder dissolves quickly in water. After this, you can mix the resulting solution with the selected base.

The cosmetic industry typically uses a ratio of 3% DMAE to 97% base.

You can use any cosmetic product you like as a base. Many people prefer to use simple and inexpensive creams (for example, Nivea Soft). However, you can also use homemade cream made from natural ingredients. The main thing is to choose a base that is well absorbed - because the deeper the cream penetrates, the better the effect of DMAE. Among natural bases, sesame oil and aloe vera have such qualities. Please note: if you choose aloe vera gel as a base, remember that after adding DMAE the gel will become very liquid.

Choose the product that you usually use as a face cream. It can also be used as a cleansing tonic - simply wipe off excess cream with a tissue after 15-20 minutes.

Does DMAE really have a lifting effect?

The experience of many women proves that DMAE really works, however, as one would expect, the effect may not be as “magical” as some books and articles on the Internet promise. It is important to know that results can vary greatly from person to person, but the vast majority report tightening of the facial skin and/or smoothing of wrinkles after using DMAE.

Among the more puzzling effects of topical DMAE is lip plumping. It is also believed that DMAE has a cumulative effect, which means that the longer you use this cream, the better the results will be.

If you do not want to experiment with an unfamiliar product, then we have prepared for you several simple but effective recipes for homemade creams with a lifting effect, which can be made from improvised materials.

Facial oil with lifting effect

Safflower oil has an excellent effect. It moisturizes the skin and acts as an antioxidant. Proper hydration is the key to tight, youthful skin.

Avocado oil is another great product. Both oils can be used as a base to which other ingredients can be added. In addition, oils are usually absorbed into the skin much better than creams.

Cream with a lifting effect based on royal jelly

To prepare this cream you will need only 20 minutes.

80 grams of whipped vegetable oil

45 grams cocoa butter

15 grams of beeswax

1.5 liters of water

10 grams of fresh royal jelly

Melt the oils and wax over low heat. Mix thoroughly for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and add water. Mix with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Pour into a glass container, close and store in a dark place.

The effect of this cream and lifting at home is noticeable within a few minutes, but for long-term results you need to use it once or twice a week on a regular basis.

We hope that the following beauty recipes will help you restore elasticity to your skin, and your skin will always be healthy and toned.
