Geltek-Medica cosmetic gels for face and body

Facial gel: instructions

So how can you make friends with gels?

Rule #1. Do not apply them in a thick layer. And this is the main rule of “friendship” with the gel. If, out of habit, you squeeze out about the same amount of gel as cream, then this is wrong. The gel is applied in a thin layer, so you usually need 3 times less of it. And to avoid the temptation to put more, apply it immediately after toner to damp skin.

Rule #2. We love gels for their variety of uses. Therefore, think about what effect you need now.

Facial moisturizing gel

If your skin lacks hydration, apply gel under the cream. The emulsifier in the cream (remember we talked about the assistant) will drag it much deeper. This will enhance the effect of the gel and its anti-age assets by approximately 20-30% and deeply moisturize the skin. This trick works especially well with gels containing medium and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid.

You can also mix the gel with the cream in your palms. The result is a lighter texture (those with oily and combination skin will appreciate it). And the effect is the same as that of the gel applied under the cream.

Emergency hydration gel

If you have to endure a dry winter or a plane flight, there is nothing better for the skin than a gel applied on top of your usual cream or simply on clean skin. At low humidity, evaporation from the surface of the skin will greatly increase, so face gel will come in handy. Don’t forget to irrigate your skin with toner every 20-30 minutes - you’ll get something like a wet compress. The gel will bind water molecules from the tonic and in a dry room, moisture will evaporate first from the gel, and not from the skin.

Using the gel

First, you need to purchase the option that suits your skin type. Keep in mind that there are no so-called “universal” remedies.

After purchasing a suitable option, you can begin to use it. The following recommendations will help in this matter:

• the skin is pre-cleaned and degreased;
• A water bath will help open the pores;
• The gel can be used only in the absence of inflammation and wounds;
• The product should be applied to the skin with massage movements.

It is worth noting that using gels to treat areas around the eyes and lips is not recommended. The product should be left on the skin for at least 15-20 minutes, then rinsed off with warm water.

During use, pay attention to the instructions indicated on the package.

Daily washing is very important for the surface layer of the skin, as it cleanses the epidermis of dust, dirt, bacteria and sweat secretions. But this is not enough for deep cleansing, so it is recommended to use special products - gel peelings for the face - 1-2 times a week.

In addition to the cleansing function, they remove dead skin particles and prevent inflammatory processes (in particular, due to clogged pores). What components are included in gel peels and how to use them correctly at home? To whom are peeling products indicated primarily and in what cases are they contraindicated for use?

Cream or gel? How to make a choice

Cream or gel? For us women, this question is more complicated than Shakespeare’s “to be or not to be?” The truth is that our advantage is that to search for answers we can always turn to the World Wide Web, or, in extreme cases, determine in practice what is right for us. In this sense, the cosmetics industry operates without interruption. Let's still try to figure out what suits whom. First of all, you need to answer the question - what is a cream and what is a gel?

The essence of the problem of choice

Externally, distinguishing between cream and gel is easy. Cream is an opaque substance, while gel is most often a transparent product. All this is due to the fact that they are too different in composition. The fact is that the gel, unlike the cream, does not contain fats and oils at all. The basis of the gel is water, as well as moisture-retaining components. Cream is always an emulsion from a mixture of water and oil. Fats in the cream can be either vegetable or animal. Hence the advantages of gels - they are instantly absorbed without covering the skin with a greasy film. Moreover, their pH is as close as possible to the acid-base balance of healthy skin, so it will neither clog pores nor lead to irritation. Under the gel layer, the skin will still breathe, and there will be no layer as such - the gel is perfectly absorbed. Needless to say, for those with oily skin or skin prone to allergies and irritations, this is the best option. It is not for nothing that most products for combating pimples and acne are produced in the form of gels.

Skin problem

But creams are ideal for those with very dry or aging skin. They have a very thick and dense consistency and cannot be called light. Although it all depends on the amount of oil and fat in the product. So there are light creams - they contain no more than 5-8 percent oil. Oily massage products can contain 80 percent oils. However, it is precisely due to oils that they are able to nourish the skin with beneficial substances. At the same time, you need to remember that any cream, even the most expensive, can lead to clogged pores.

A little about the composition

Fats can be different - vegetable and animal. Vegetable oils are familiar oils to all of us, for example, jojoba, wheat germ oil, animal fats - for example, lanolin. But sometimes a third option is added to creams: cheap mineral oils, for example, Vaseline - they are obtained after processing petroleum products. They do not allow the skin to breathe, and the consequences of this are not difficult to guess. So when choosing between cream and gel, pay attention to the composition. If you see mineral oils in it, it’s better to choose a gel.

Under makeup

It is better to apply the gel under makeup, then you can be sure that it will not float during the day. And the use of cream or gel depends on the place of application, so to speak. For the skin under the eyes, it is the gel that is best suited - unlike creams, it will not cause swelling, and for the rest of the face, it is not forbidden to use creams.

But to combat age-old women’s problems—I’m talking about stretch marks—the most popular are gels. The fact is that the gel for stretch marks is perfectly absorbed and hits the target precisely - after all, it is able to reach the deep layers of the epidermis and do its job from the inside.

Read: Dry skin? Needs special care

Although, of course, in practice the choice between cream or gel is always individual. Here, as they say, who gets what. Therefore, reviews on the Internet are extremely contradictory. Personally, as someone who has dry skin, I prefer creams. Gels cannot sufficiently hydrate and nourish my skin, so most of the time I feel tight when using gels. That's why I practically don't use them.

Summarize

If we summarize all of the above, we can derive several rules. Gels are suitable for young people and girls, as well as those with skin problems such as acne or comedones. Creams are the choice of women with dry or aging skin. It is creams that are included in a variety of anti-age programs. Gels are the best base for makeup, creams are optimal for skin care. Gels are suitable for the area around the eyes, creams for the rest of the face and neck, as well as the body. Gels will not leave a greasy film on the skin, but the remaining cream will most likely have to be removed with a napkin. Well, who likes what! Both are absolutely safe for the skin, the main thing is to remember about its type.
