Wednesday, May 03, 2020 05:22 + to quote book Beautiful, shiny, bright jars of face creams standing on store shelves attract the attention of all beauties. But, having taken them, almost everyone wonders what this product consists of. In addition to the delicious fruits and vegetables, the lush greenery of exotic plants depicted on the jars, they contain many synthetic substances that extend its shelf life, give it a wonderful aroma and airy consistency.

After reading the label, the question quite logically arises: where can I get a 100% natural face cream that will not contain these terrible chemical formulas and whose action you will not need to be afraid of? The solution is to make your own homemade face cream. This idea seems scary only at first: once you master this art and try it on your skin, you will never return to using store-bought products.

Before you start “producing” creams at home

, you need to remember that all prepared preparations can be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than 2 weeks. If this period has passed and you have not used the cream, then you should not regret it - you must throw it away to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Below I offer several recipes for creams that you can make with your own hands at home.

- Grind twenty-five grams of butter with the yolk, one teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of gruel from mashed rowan fruits. Mash everything very thoroughly, and then pour in fifteen milliliters of camphor alcohol and grind the mixture thoroughly again.

Cream test or comparative analysis of face creams against the first signs of aging

Good day to all fans of beauty.
I haven’t written for a long time and all because I couldn’t find a suitable topic; o(((. And today I decided to make a post about a rather controversial topic, namely, “creams against the first wrinkles and signs of aging”... Honestly, I’ll tell you that either a cream has anti-aging components or it doesn’t, but How a cream should understand that these are precisely the “first signs” is not very clear to me, although I guess that most likely it’s simply a matter of the concentration and strength of these same components; o))) That is, anti-aging creams differ in the set of active ingredients and their concentration. So, at the age of 30, small doses of anti-edge components are sufficient, which are designed to support the aging functions of the skin. But after 40 years, the cream should not only maintain skin health, but also rejuvenate it. But, let’s leave the secrets of the ingredients to the professionals and those who understand them, and I want to tell you about my subjective experience of communicating with some representatives of the family of “creams that fight the first signs of aging.” I'll start with some general information: 30 years old, combo skin with enlarged pores near the nose and an oily t-zone. What worries me is uneven complexion, pores and shine in the t-zone, traces of inflammation (thank God just a few) that don’t go away for a long time, emerging nasolabial and crow’s feet. So, let’s begin: I’ll immediately make a reservation that I always use serum in pairs with cream, so I will describe the “paired effect” of use. 1. first pair - Clarens:

Clarins Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction Cream (all skin types) 50ml - Clarins Day cream for all skin types, preventing the appearance of wrinkles 50ml. Clarins Multi-Active Skin Renewal Serum 30ml – Clarins Anti-Aging Serum “New Skin” (I have a miniature)

Swatches:
bottom cream, top serum

Detailed opinion:
The manufacturer is positioning the multi-asset series as a series against the first signs of aging. I have a set of face cream for all skin types + minka serum + minka night cream. Regarding the serum, I can say that it has a liquid consistency, a pinkish tint, and a pleasant smell. It absorbs well, the face is a little sticky after it, but it’s more of a feeling of moisture rather than stickiness. While the serum is absorbed, I apply cream on top so that the serum acts as a conductor for the cream. The cream is pink with a pleasant fragrance, medium density. It spreads easily and also leaves behind a feeling of moisture. I give this duo about 15 minutes to absorb and after that I blot my face with a napkin (I just feel more comfortable that way; o))) I’ve been using this duo for about a month and I can say that I’m quite happy with the result - the skin is more nourished, dense, the color is uniform, there are no rashes and clogged has not been noticed yet. I can say that this duo will not work miracles and will not tighten deep wrinkles, but as a “good workhorse” these 2 products will work great. My verdict is excellent supporting effect. The only downside is that for people with oily skin or in hot climates, it may be too heavy and give you a sweaty feeling on your face, but you can choose a lighter version; o))) I realized for myself that the main work is done by the cream, because I tried it with other serums and did not notice the difference, so I will not buy a full-fledged version of the serum, I will use my own supplies; O)))

Term of use :

month
Price:
Cream - ~60$ Serum (for the full version) - ~70$

2. second couple-Elizabeth Arden:

ELIZABETH ARDEN Intervene Radiance Boosting Moisture Cream SPF 15 50ml/1.7oz - Elizabeth Arden Radiance Boosting Moisturizing Cream SPF 15 50ml/1.7oz Elizabeth Arden INTERVENE Timefighting Radiance Serum 30 ml - Elizabeth Arden intensive serum to combat the first signs of aging (I have a miniature) .

Detailed opinion:
A series to improve complexion and combat the first signs of aging. Cons Girl I really praised this series... well, I decided to buy it even without testing... I bought a set that included a cream, a mini serum, a mini night cream, a wash, and as a gift I received another box of capsules and 2 more mini serums. Now about the products - the serum is milky-colored, liquid, the scent is not for everyone, it behaves very well on the face - an instant feeling of softness and hydration. I'm thinking about buying a full version. And the sad thing is that the cream turned out to be quite capricious. Still the same unpleasant (no) fragrance, the consistency of sour cream and very poor absorption...; o(((I fought it with the help of mattifying wipes, because I can’t stand greasy pancakes on my face. I thought about using it at night, but it contains SPF, and at night I think it’s unnecessary to overload the face with such additives. The sensations in terms of moisturizing are pleasant, but the face is not comfortable with it - as if it is too greasy, too intense and everything with the prefix "too". In the heat, the face quickly sweats with it, it seems to be melting. As for anti-aging, I did not notice any visible results after a month of use, just a poorly absorbing moisturizer. I left it until colder weather, maybe then it will behave differently.

Term of use :

month

Cream - ~60$ Serum (for the full version) - ~50$

3. third pair - Weleda:

Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Lotion 1.0 FL OZ (30ml) Weleda Pomegranate Firming Serum 1.0 FL OZ (30ml) Weleda Pomegranate Intensive Lifting Serum (30 ml)

Swatches:
bottom cream, top serum

Detailed opinion:
The rose series is positioned by Weleda as a series against the first signs of aging, so I took the fluid from this series for combination skin, but I decided to take the serum from the older series (40+) precisely because natural cosmetics do not have strong anti-aging components, but I wanted a visible effect; o))) So, with regards to the serum - liquid water with a pronounced sweet smell of some kind of baked goods (not very similar to pomegranate; o))), it is distributed and absorbed instantly, without being tight or drying. It feels very comfortable on the face, no stickiness, but the hydration is mediocre (but don’t forget that the serum is not positioned as moisturizing; o))). Again, no eye-popping lifting was noticed, but the face was slightly smoothed and you could feel it; o))) The cream-fluid from the pink series was somewhat reminiscent of decleor products - the smell is natural (herbs + rose), intense hydration is present (oil-based cosmetics make themselves felt; o))), I noticed that my face was refreshed and noticeably moisturized (I always feel this way when using oils; o))) But it’s easy to overdo it with cream and then you feel that very fatty oils. It’s also easy to overfeed the skin with the cream, so I think it’s ideal as a recovery course for dehydrated or dry skin.

Term of use :

2.5 months
Price:
Cream - ~30$ Serum -~37$
Rating:
Serum - 5+ Cream - 4 (for difficulties with oils and long lasting smell)

4. fourth pair - Vichy

Vichy Normaderm Anti-Ageing Anti-Imperfection Anti-Wrinkle Resurfacing Care 50ml – Vichy Anti-aging cream for problem skin 50ml. Vichy Aqualia Thermale Serum 30ml – Vichy Moisturizing Serum 24 Hours 30ml.

Swatches:

Detailed opinion:
When the new “Normaderm anti-aging” product came out, out of old memory and love for the “Normaderm” cream, of course, I rushed to the store; o))) The manufacturer's promise to keep the skin in good condition + the anti-aging effect did their job and now I am the happy owner of this miracle; O))). What can I say - I don’t use this cream all the time, i.e. I use it mainly in the summer and during periods of “heyday of blemishes on the face” for some reason; o(((. But what can I do - I’m so strange and I like to have creams to suit the condition of my skin at the moment; o))). This cream has been with me for about six months and during this time I have used it for a total of about a month and a half. What was noticed during this time? Firstly, its main purpose of “fighting problems” did not become worse in this version (compared to the previous one; o))), secondly, I used the previous version of normaderm for the moisturizing serum “Aqualia Thermal” (for some reason I felt not enough moisture), I did the same this time and this duo also behaved excellently! No creasing of makeup + gradual elimination of blemishes + comfortable on the face - everything speaks in favor of Vichy; o))), but it seems to me that for skin that suffers only from temporary rashes, this is still too powerful a weapon (like shooting mosquitoes from a cannon; o))) As a result of the inconsistent use of the cream, no special anti-aging effect was noticed , but there is a supporting effect! I can say about the serum that it provides good hydration, but at the same time it seems to envelop the face with a film. It's not an unpleasant feeling, it's just something you need to get used to.

Term of use :

six months
Price:
Cream - ~30$ Serum -~30$
Rating:
Serum - 4 (moisturizes perfectly, but leaves a film on the face) Cream - 4 (due to the specific application, I cannot evaluate the anti-aging effect)

In conclusion, I want to add one more important thing: Regarding age restrictions, we are all adults here, so I won’t mention once again that I in no way urge anyone to buy age-appropriate cosmetics that are not intended for your age or to solve your skin problems ; O)))). I myself focus primarily on the condition of my skin, its needs, and then on age restrictions (I try to do this according to the principle of “do no harm”). Sincerely. Anna

What should be included?

The best cream for the first wrinkles should not contain parabens, various sodium and fragrances. The less chemicals it contains, the better for the skin.

The cream for the first wrinkles should contain something that provides optimal hydration of the epidermis:

Hyaluronic acid or fragmented collagen - substances work in the upper layers of the skin.
Fat fraction – obtained from vegetable oils (jojoba, macadamia, wheat germ). These substances are otherwise called squalenes.
The third indispensable element for combating the first wrinkles is biological substances - vitamins, plant extracts and other enzymes with anti-aging properties.

A high-quality preparation for the first wrinkles up to 25-30 years can be found even in the nearest cosmetics store. But the best products are sold only in specialized boutiques, pharmacies and branded salons of manufacturers.

Where do early wrinkles come from?

“To avoid early wrinkles, I have been using anti-aging cream since I was 15 years old! And my short-sighted friends hold out until 35: they are afraid that the skin will get used to it and deteriorate. Okay, at 50 we’ll see which of us was right!”

The importance of creams in “preventing aging” is greatly exaggerated. In order for wrinkles to appear as late as possible, it makes sense to do one thing: keep your skin healthy. The healthier it is, the slower it will fade.

What does healthy skin look like? Uniform color, uniform texture, light matte shine, narrow pores, absence of inflammatory elements. Are there any inflammations? We treat inflammation. Got a sunburn? We treat the burn.

If it dries out, you need to compensate. I've become too fat - I need to work on it. Anything bothering you? Let's leave it alone.

From the point of view of cosmetic marketing, this is, of course, sedition. But from a medical point of view, it’s true. There is a good joke about this. The son asks his programmer father: “Dad, why does the sun rise?” He thought and said: “Son! Works? Do not touch!". If you're lucky and have normal skin, don't touch it.

Yes, of course, clean it; Of course, use a protective cream that you like. Whether you go to the beach or walk in the city in the summer, apply cream with SPF. If you have effective and suitable cosmetics, then in the morning you wake up without feeling tight and greasy and during the day you do not feel any discomfort or itching.

Healthy skin just needs to be maintained. This is the best prevention of wrinkles. And treating unhealthy skin with a cream labeled “Against premature wrinkles” is a meaningless story. We need to fix the problem itself.

To check whether the products you use are suitable for you and the condition of your skin, conduct a daring experiment. Stop using any cream for two or three days. Don't you feel any discomfort? It means everything is OK. Does your skin make it clear that it is “starving”? This means that she can no longer solve any problems on her own.

One of the main reasons for the appearance of wrinkles, deterioration of skin elasticity and, in general, everything that we call signs of aging, is the withering and degradation of the basic substance of the dermis (primarily hyaluronic acid) and structural proteins: collagen and elastin.

They burn in two fires. One fire is “age-related”; it flares up brighter after 40–50 years, and this “burning” leads to an increase in the number of enzymes that destroy proteins and glycosaminoglycans of the skin, collagenases, hyaluronidases and elastases. The older we get, the more proteins and hyaluronic acid are destroyed and the less they are synthesized.

Another fire is “stressful”. It also destroys proteins and hyaluronic acid, but they are burned by free radicals and other substances that the body produces under stress. At the same time, the skin loses its protective properties, water, becomes inflamed, pigmented, etc.

It is this second fire that is mainly “lit” by modern cosmetology. The more effectively we restore natural defenses and suppress stress reactions, the slower the skin ages.

If we manage to extinguish the fire of stress and leave only the “age-related” one, great. It burns dimly, and degradation processes develop rather slowly, leaving the opportunity to calmly and plannedly compensate for them using a variety of methods.

Of course, we cannot completely extinguish this fire. But making it smolder quietly is quite enough.
