Types of decorative cosmetics: what you need and how to store them correctly

Oily skin

Why does skin become oily?

There are various reasons for this:

• Testosterone levels, to which the sebaceous glands are very sensitive. When a hormonal storm rages in teenagers, then oily skin is considered normal, but if the process drags on until the age of over 20, then we can talk about an imbalance of sex hormones.
• Poor nutrition, when the diet contains an excess of foods that cause the release of the hormone insulin, which further exacerbates the sensitivity of the sebaceous glands to the effects of testosterone. An extra portion of sweets in the stomach seems to return a person to adolescence, activating his sebaceous glands.
• Stress - adrenaline affects the sebaceous glands almost as powerfully as testosterone.
• Even strong odors can make a difference! For example, such as perfumes, dust, household chemicals, allergens. For this reason, sellers in stores selling household chemicals often suffer from oily skin, since the air there is filled with various aromas.

How to properly cleanse oily skin?

So, you need to solve the problem of cleansing oily skin without bringing it to a deplorable state. Here it is advisable to abandon the use of various degreasers (mattifying wipes with alcohol, alcohol lotions, salicylic acid), since regular removal of fat with their help does not solve the problem, but only aggravates it. The sebaceous glands will strive to restore the hydrolipid mantle, which is why they will only intensify their work. All kinds of drying agents should be used only for individual pimples and certainly spot-on.

For daily skin cleansing, it is more correct to use soft emulsion forms (creams, creams, milk for washing), which do not contain surfactants and therefore do not completely wash off the hydrolipid mantle from the skin.

Special structure of milk Sativa No. 52

allows it to easily mix with sebum, and after rinsing, some oils remain on the surface of the skin. In this case, the sebaceous glands calmly, without panic, continue to produce partially lost material. With this product you can not only delicately cleanse the skin, but also remove fragile makeup.

Hydrophilic oils, gels or foams should be used for cleansing in the following cases:

• If you need to get rid of persistent makeup (cream shadows, BB foundation). In these products, the pigment is distributed in an oil base, so it clogs the pores more tightly. To remove it, you must first use a cotton pad to wash off all the fatty base with a regular cleanser, and only then apply the final cleanliness with foam or gel.
• If milk has not become your favorite remedy. In this case, in order not to excessively degrease the skin, you need to arm yourself with a soft foam for normal skin, which, if necessary, can be used twice.

Adjusting skin acidity

In order to regulate skin acidity, you should actively use toners throughout the day. The abundance of sebum and a shift in pH to the alkaline region are the most favorable conditions for the proliferation of propionic bacteria, and their large populations cause inflammation of the skin. Using tonic No. 57

You can return the pH of oily skin to normal and achieve normal skin microbiota. In addition, it has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It can be sprayed several times a day and not washed off afterwards.

Exfoliation

Sativa Soft Polishing Scrub No. 50 can complement your skin care program.

, which is able to delicately remove particles of dead stratum corneum that mix with sebum. They get into the pores where comedones and blackheads form.

Which cream should I use for oily skin?

Sativa №37

Night cream Sativa No. 37 is intended for oily and combination skin. The product does not aggressively dry the skin, but causes it to reduce sebum production, reducing sensitivity to sebaceous gland hormones and restoring its stratum corneum. The cream well restores skin stunned by sun exposure, activates regeneration processes, increases its elasticity and firmness.

Why does oily skin need this cream? Sebum is not a cosmetic defect, but an important component of the hydrolipid mantle, which is a mixture of sebum and sweat. It is something like a light natural cream, a thin layer covering the entire surface of human skin. It does not allow microorganisms that have entered the skin to take root, and by lubricating it, it gives it softness and retains moisture on the surface. The more sebum the skin glands secrete, the denser this “cream” layer becomes.

In an effort to protect itself from the effects of aggressive external factors, the skin always tries to make its fat protection denser. Therefore, upon waking up in the morning, a woman begins to actively destroy her hydrolipid mantle, and her skin will immediately respond to this by intensifying the production of sebum in order to restore its protection.

Sativa №33

To make your skin feel more comfortable throughout the day, after washing your face in the morning, you need to apply Sativa No. 33 day cream, intended for oily sensitive skin. This cream is based on easily absorbed oils.

The cream softly mattifies the skin, and thanks to a specially selected composition of oils, reduces sebum production. At the same time, it does not clog pores, as this is fraught with inflammation, but gradually forces the skin to reduce sebum production. It contains butulin and natural UV filters that protect the skin from aging under the influence of light, as well as a full complex of antioxidants.

The maximum effect will be observed when using cream No. 33 together with night cream No. 37 for oily and combination skin.

Ideal makeup for every day - is all cosmetics needed at once?

Ideal makeup does not involve applying all existing cosmetic products in the hope of radically transforming yourself.

You can use just a few cosmetic attributes and still look irresistible! But what cosmetics will be appropriate in your case, what products go best with what, and how to choose the right product are known to professional makeup artists and cosmetologists at E-Lambre.

The use of such cosmetics is relevant for any skin and can be applied daily. Do you want to create a perfectly smooth and long-lasting make-up? The primer was created for you!

Primer (makeup base) is a cosmetic product designed to improve the adhesion of foundation to the skin, as well as even out unevenness of the epidermis and moisturize it.

Do you need primer every day? We answer: “Yes, because we are talking about a universal tool that combines a number of functions:

• The tasks of a moisturizer.
• Functions of sunscreen products.
• Purposes of using mattifying care creams.

All these effects are combined in one product!”

Do you use foundation daily? Then you definitely can’t do without a primer, as this is the best solution to preserve the effectiveness of your look several orders of magnitude longer!

Which face primer should you choose? Recommendations from E-Lambre specialists

1. Silicone is a colorless base that acts as a fixing agent, mattifying the skin and protecting from external influences. The base does not weigh down or tighten the skin, which makes its daily use relevant.
2. Illuminating - has a shining effect.
   Its use is relevant for the purpose of lightening the skin, smoothing the relief, and creating a radiant shade. The main functions of the product still remain fixing cosmetics and contouring the face (offered in 2 shades). The relevance of this product is noted only for certain occasions of application (corporate events, parties, dates, etc.).

Concealer is a cosmetic product for “capillary” skin that should always be at hand.

The use of the attribute in question is carried out as necessary and is relevant for painting over local redness of the skin and eliminating the capillary network on the face.

The concealer is green in color, but upon contact with the skin and other cosmetic products, it adapts to the shade of your skin (becomes colorless).

Whether you use this product constantly or not, you should have it in your cosmetic bag!

Foundation. An appropriate decorative attribute as part of any makeup!

The use of this cosmetics is mandatory daily! However, at the preliminary stage it is necessary to ensure high-quality cleansing of the facial skin. Otherwise, instead of a matte and even tone, your skin will look like fish scales (peeling will appear visually).

A real attribute of decorative cosmetics is used by 95% of women and girls of any age! There is no question about its feasibility today. Another thing is who is suitable for which type of foundation? - not every modern fashionista is strong in this topic!

Perfect makeup with foundation. Which product should you choose?

• Consider age. Need extra care? Today it is possible to choose a foundation with an additional caring effect (lifting, nutrition, moisturizing, etc.).
• Rely on the purpose of the cosmetic product. All foundations are divided into mattifying, moisturizing, illuminating (with a glow effect), waterproof, sunscreen and others.
• Which foundation format is right for you? Cosmetics of this type can be sold in liquid, creamy, powdery form... choose the most convenient variation for yourself!

Reasons why foundation is in demand every day:

1. Combines with any cosmetic attribute.
2. Serves as the basis for any makeup (evens out shade, unevenness).
3. Includes valuable elements that allow the product to be used as a caring cream.

Compact face powder is one of the main components of perfect makeup!

Are you striving for the most durable make-up? In this case, pressed powder from Lambre is an indispensable and must-have product!

Modern powders, in addition to their pronounced masking and fixing properties (the main effect), also demonstrate an obvious rejuvenating effect. Their use leads to high-quality hydration and protects the skin from UV rays. Do you need these effects every day? The answer is obvious!

Who is it suitable for? Valuable facts

• Developed without reference to a specific skin type or age!
• Main classifier: shade. A rich palette of colors makes this product in demand for everyone!

Do you appreciate laconicism and restraint in your image? Create your ideal complexion without redness or oily shine with powder from E-Lambre.

Contour powder is an indispensable tool for modeling the face.

Bronzer and highlighter are decorative products, the use of which is mandatory in the following cases:

• There is a need to increase or decrease cheekbones.
• It is necessary to level out nasolabial folds.
• There is a need to darken or lighten local areas of the skin in order to model an oval.

Does your skin not tolerate the use of dry powders well? In this case, the best solution would be an illuminating primer (with a radiance effect). We are talking about a cosmetic product that combines the functions of two products at once: highlighter and foundation.

Contour powder is a beauty product designed to highlight or darken certain areas of the face. Such cosmetics belong to professional decorative attributes and are used as needed, depending on the desired effect.

1. Need to add radiance to your skin? - Use highlighter!
2. Is your goal to darken certain parts of your face? - Pay attention to the bronzer!

Both products are intended for contouring, modeling the oval of the face, and evening out the shade.

Key points for using contour powder:

• Where to apply? The product is distributed to the protruding parts: the bridge of the nose, chin, cheekbones, center of the forehead, area above the upper lip, etc.
• When to use? Such cosmetics will be most appropriate for evening makeup.
• Who is it suitable for? There are no age restrictions. There are also no requirements for the type and characteristics of the skin.

Cosmetics of this type are an alternative to baked face powder.

The use of the product is appropriate after distributing the foundation and makeup base (if necessary).

Blush for the face - relief and “liveness” of your makeup.

We are talking about a minor cosmetic product, the relevance of which is noted only when using foundation. After distributing the foundation, the epidermis acquires a single monotonous color; blush will ideally solve the problem.

Blush is the “freshness” of your face, provided it is applied correctly and appropriately!

In the modern arsenal of make-up products, there are many solutions for correcting the oval of the face, evening out the tone, and matting. The product in question, as practice shows, is used mainly to create complex facial makeup (rarely used separately from other products).

Lifehacks from E-Lambre for choosing blush based on skin and hair color:

1. Cool tones - light shades, even porcelain, are suitable! Color solutions with a pinkish pigment are also appropriate. A peach tint is also allowed.
2. Warm colors.
   The most popular would be blush with a coral tint. If you have a tan, bronze powder can be used to add blush.

Tip: a universal solution in this matter is to choose beige-pink shades of blush.

Lipstick is beauty + care = the ideal product for perfect makeup for every day!

It is necessary to use this kind of cosmetics only if your priority is to place emphasis on your lips. Just a few simple movements and a bright image is guaranteed!

The main properties of modern lipstick:

1. Care. Lipsticks today include components that protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation, air and wind.
2. Healing of wounds and microcracks.
   Cosmetics of this type can act as both a preventive measure in this matter and serve as a means to eliminate the effects of chapping, etc.
3. Beauty.
   Choose the right shade to match your outfit today!

Today, lipstick is no longer considered only as a decorative attribute. In this regard, its use is also relevant for every day from the point of view of caring for your lips.

Mascara. An essential item when creating make-up for every day

You can omit the use of blush or eye shadow, not use lipstick or lip gloss, but you simply must emphasize the depth and expressiveness of your look!

Long and voluminous eyelashes are the beauty of your eyes! This cosmetic product can be used even by those girls who practically do not use make-up products for their transformation!

Do you need mascara for every day? - Definitely yes! Needed!

Varieties of mascaras. Which one is right for you?

1. For volume.
   Such cosmetics have a creamy texture with wax microgranules. Due to the presence of astringent components in the composition, paint sticks to the eyelashes, which ensures an increase in their volume! Some products contain particles of powder. They double in size after contact with the eyelashes, increasing their volume.
2. For length. This effect is achieved due to the presence of silk or nylon fibers in the formula. Each stroke of the brush is accompanied by the application of these substances to the tips of the eyelashes, which contributes to their lengthening.
3. For twisting.
   To do this, the composition of the mascara must be enriched with keratin and resins. After they dry on the surface, the eyelashes tighten and form a curl.

Study the composition and choose your mascara for the perfect makeup for every day with E-Lambre.

Contour pencils are the must-have “finishers” of your ideal makeup.

Contour pencil for eyes and lips is a cosmetic that is mandatory for use only when you apply eye shadow and lipstick! Each of the attributes is designed to emphasize the expressiveness of color and fix the contours of the make-up for a long time.

• Lip contour pencil is a cosmetic product created to visually increase the volume of lips and fix lipstick (prevents it from spreading beyond the painted limits).
• Eyeliner is a beauty product whose main purpose is to add definition and definition to your look.

Eyebrow pencil is an indispensable liner in makeup for every day.

Like mascara, this attribute is mandatory for creating a comprehensive makeup look. Have you placed emphasis on the eyes? In this case, eyebrows need no less close attention!

Dry skin

Why does skin become dry?

Dry skin is characterized by a number of problems:

• It disrupts the synthesis of natural fats - lipids that form its lipid barrier. This barrier does not allow water evaporating from the surface of the skin to pass through, and does not allow foreign substances and bacteria to enter from the outside.
• It contains almost no hydrolipid mantle, which serves as a kind of natural cream that retains moisture and supports local immunity.
• It disrupts the synthesis of sebum, which softens and protects the skin and also makes it difficult to lose moisture.

What to do with dry skin? The first thing you need to do is reconsider your diet, because the lipid barrier of the skin is built from the material that a person eats. When the diet lacks certain fatty acids, this has a detrimental effect on the condition of the lipid barrier. Well, and besides, you need to use cosmetics correctly.

Cleansing dry skin

You should start by cleansing the skin, choosing the mildest cleansing option. Milk No. 52 is perfect

, does not contain surfactants. Cleaning here occurs due to the ability of its oils to mix with other fats and oils (decorative cosmetics, dirt, sebum). It is perfect for dry skin without leaving a feeling of tightness. The milk removes greasy stains well, however, it does not bind to skin lipids, so the natural protective barrier is not broken.

Adjusting skin acidity

Next, you should adjust the acidity of the skin, not forgetting about its constant hydration using tonic No. 58

. This will protect the skin from dry indoor air and maintain its acidity. The product should be used 5-6 times a day.

Which cream to choose for dry skin?

Sativa №25

If the body cannot nourish the skin from the inside, then you can help it from the outside, for which Sativa No. 25 night cream is best suited. This cream contains many essential fatty acids that the human body is not able to synthesize and can only obtain through food or cosmetics. It contains a properly selected balanced mixture of oils that restores the lipid barrier.

The cream gently supports the synthesis of elastin and collagen, therefore it is an effective prevention of wrinkles. In particularly dry areas it can be used several times a day. Due to its wide range of effects, the cream is actually universal.

It is ideal for night care for dry skin, as it activates regeneration processes and saturates the skin with essential omega-3 fatty acids. The lack of these acids often disrupts the production of lipids for the stratum corneum, as well as sebum, which is expressed in the form of dry skin. This cream relieves irritation, removes peeling, and promotes rapid healing of microcracks.

Sativa №24

Sativa No. 24 cream is more suitable for young skin. Fat-free, dry skin cannot be spoiled by excess oil - it will absorb everything. With this in mind, Sativa No. 24 was developed for daytime use. This product contains a balanced complex of oils that helps restore the lipid barrier. When using this cream, skin peeling, irritation, and a feeling of tightness disappear, and daily hydration occurs.

Sativa №21

For women over 30, the best choice would be Sativa cream No. 21. The oils contained in this product nourish the skin well, prevent intense evaporation of moisture, and relieve peeling and irritation. Its active components (sodium acetylglucosamine phosphate, betagluconate, calcium ketogluconate, encapsulated hyaluronic acid) moisturize the deep layers of the skin, tighten it, smooth out wrinkles, and stimulate the production of its own hyaluronic acid. An additional blend of extracts provides antioxidant protection.

In winter, dry skin struggles without protective cream. Cream Sativa No. 31 is designed to protect it from chapping, which softens, relieves peeling and irritation, and accelerates the healing of microcracks. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly. When applied to the lips, this cream protects them from chapping and the formation of painful cracks.

Serums

serum care No. 82 will help it.

and
No. 89.
They contain ceramides, glycolipids and phospholipids in the correct proportion, which help restore the skin lipid barrier and enhance the protective potential of the skin.

Problem skin

Those with problematic skin are familiar firsthand with such things as dryness, oily shine, acne, peeling, comedones, post-acne, and excessive skin sensitivity. How they differ from each other and how to deal with them is worth talking about in more detail.

Post-acne

Sometimes such an annoying pimple has disappeared long ago, but has left a mark for years. This phenomenon is called post-acne, it occurs quite often and has various manifestations:

• stagnant spots;
• scarring;
• dilation of capillaries and persistent erythema;
• enlarged pores;
• depigmentation or hyperpigmentation.

You can start with the red stagnant spots left behind by the pimple. Most often they occur due to mechanical impact on the pimple. People often reach for their itchy pimples, trying to squeeze them out and get rid of them quickly. This behavior is quite natural - if a noticeable reddish itchy bump appears on the skin, and even with a white head, then few people have the patience to wait for it to go away on its own, so they try to get rid of it using the “force pressure” method. After all, it seems that you just have to squeeze out the pus from the white head, and the problem will be immediately solved. That would be fine, but people often start squeezing out pimples without washing their hands first.

But it's not that simple. Any pimple is actually an inflammation. In addition to sebum, the contents of its head contain bacteria in large quantities. Accordingly, leukocytes begin to accumulate around the comedone, localizing the source of inflammation.

What happens if a pimple is squeezed out mechanically? If you wash your hands, then carefully squeeze out the pimple with them, cauterize the wound, it will heal, and after some time the scar will disappear without a trace. But the worst-case scenario may not be so favorable. Many pores clogged with sebum have several sinuses. When a pimple is squeezed out, there may be the following options:

• The pimple does not break out, as they want from it, but deep into the dermis, bringing there all the bacteria accumulated in its contents. In this case, the inflammation goes deep into the skin and can become chronic, leaving a mark on the surface in the form of a stagnant spot.
• The pimple may not be completely crushed, then inflammation will arise in the same place again and also become chronic. And putting pressure on re-inflammation is an even worse idea.

How to remove stubborn acne spots?

It is necessary to solve such a problem comprehensively, by influencing one of the most common causes of acne on oily and combination skin - an imbalance of the skin microbiota, expressed in the spontaneous proliferation of propionic bacteria. These bacteria thrive especially in the alkaline environment of oily skin, sebum, and lack of oxygen due to clogged pores. Therefore, any comprehensive care for problem skin should include proper cleansing. It must solve two important tasks: thoroughly and deeply cleanse the skin and not overdry it.

It should be noted right away that for oily and problem skin, it is not foams and gels that are better suited, but emulsion products (cream wash, cream, milk).

Milk Sativa No. 52

cleanses the skin gently, without leaving a feeling of tightness or drying it out. If you use it constantly, the blackheads will gradually disappear. It washes off easily, without leaving the feeling of a greasy film, and removes fragile makeup well.

Adjusting skin acidity

Since stagnant spots are most often inflammation that has become chronic, they are not so easy to deal with. This is where Sativa #57

, which contains large amounts of red onion extract. This extract not only has strong antioxidant properties, but also equally powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It promotes the resorption of blood clots, quickly relieves inflammation, and prevents the formation of scars. It is actively used to eliminate acne.

To get rid of post-acne, you should treat your skin with toner as often as possible - up to 10 times a day.

Which cream is suitable for post-acne?

It is best, without waiting for the applied tonic to dry, to immediately apply a serum or cream with a strong anti-inflammatory effect on top of it. These include Sativa No. 25, 72 and 88.

Sativa №88

Sativa No. 88 is an excellent remedy for eliminating post-acne. It contains a whole complex of anti-inflammatory agents: encapsulated hyaluronic acid, extracts of hairy string, maquea, sage shoots, honeysuckle. Under the influence of the serum, the number of chronic micro-inflammations of the skin decreases, due to which it produces fewer inflammatory mediators. It is recommended for use in cases of rosacea, large post-acne rashes or background redness of the face.

Sativa №25

Cream Sativa No. 25 for normal, dry and combination skin is suitable for the fair sex of all ages - from girls to grandmothers, with the exception of those with young oily skin. The cream nourishes and heals the skin while the woman sleeps. Its formula is such that it helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles on young skin, and minimizes age-related changes in mature skin. It delicately supports the natural processes of elastin and collagen synthesis in skin cells.

It contains valuable but unstable oils that are decomposed by ultraviolet radiation, so they are not added to day creams. Sea buckthorn oil relieves micro-inflammation and treats micro-damage to the skin; it has a powerful antioxidant effect that binds free radicals that form in the skin after walking in the sun, in the cold, in the wind, or precipitated from the atmosphere of city streets. Evening primrose and black currant seed oils are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are valuable building materials for skin cells; they help maintain skin elasticity and softness.

Sativa №72

Sativa No. 72 is a light hyaluronic serum that helps maintain the correct pH of the skin and normalizes the balance of skin microbiota. It prevents the skin from losing moisture and provides it with antioxidant protection, which will not only bind free radicals, but also have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Now you should return to a comprehensive solution to the problem of post-acne, understanding that the effect will have to wait.

Comedones

Why do comedones appear?

First, you should understand the reasons for the increased activity of the sebaceous glands, since the appearance of comedones is necessarily associated with the accumulation of excess sebum in the sebaceous ducts as a result of:

• Reactivity of the sebaceous gland, that is, its increased sensitivity to hormones (stress, sex, etc.), as well as to other external irritants (foods, odors, cosmetic ingredients, etc.). All this, in contact with the body, provokes activation of the sebaceous glands. This is not yet a real allergic reaction of the skin, but the first manifestation of its “dissatisfaction” with contact with a certain substance. In this case, it would be advisable to understand what the sebaceous glands did not like so that, if possible, this factor could be eliminated or minimized.
• Naturally oily skin has more large, branched sebaceous glands. People with naturally oily skin have both regular sebaceous glands and branched (multilobed) ones, especially on the nose. In this case, they cannot avoid problems with clogging enlarged pores.
• City smog, ultraviolet radiation and other factors that can oxidize fats on the surface of the skin.
• Nutrition, more precisely, a passion for easily digestible carbohydrates and neglect of essential fatty acids. A deficiency of the latter causes hyperkeratosis of the sebaceous gland, in which the scales that appear in the sebum duct are poorly exfoliated and become an obstacle to the free release of sebum. Genetics and nutrition are different for all people, which means the quantity and quality of fatty acids produced by their bodies also differ. Therefore, the same cream causes comedones in some women, but not in others.

When choosing a cream, you need to pay more attention not to how well it removes comedones, according to advertising, but to the composition of its oils in terms of the content of fatty acids. Those with oily or combination skin simply need essential fatty acids, since their body produces the rest of the fatty acids in excess. Therefore, they will not benefit from cosmetics containing simple, stable oils with a high content of partially or fully saturated fats.

How to get rid of inflammation?

, cream for young skin Sativa No. 23 is excellent

, which is a light composition with a herbaceous spring scent and has universal properties. It is able to nourish, moisturize and soften the skin, and in addition, protect it from urban smog with antioxidants and reduce inflammation on the face.

This cream contains an excellent combination of oils:

• Rice bran oil, which is a source of nutrients and powerful antioxidants for tired skin;
• grape seed oil, which is also a strong antioxidant, regulates sebum secretion, strengthens capillaries, tightens pores;
• black cumin oil, which has pronounced antiseptic and antibacterial properties, extinguishing various inflammations (many skin diseases were treated with it in ancient times);
• Babassu oil, which softens rough skin, gives it softness and velvety, restores the skin lipid barrier, reduces moisture loss by the skin and thereby moisturizes it;
• shea butter (shea butter), which has a strong moisturizing and softening effect, reduces inflammation, slows down skin aging;
• mango butter, which has a rich set of vitamins and is a powerful antioxidant.

Various extracts are also added to Sativa No. 23 cream: amaranth, lavender, pomegranate seeds, sage shoots, dandelion root, cucumber seeds, thyme, chamomile and birch bark extract containing betulin. Finally, hyaluronic acid and plant squalane further hydrate and soften the skin.

How to choose decorative cosmetics?

Not a single modern woman leaves home without a powder compact or lipstick in her purse. Regardless of the weather and time of year, women strive to look stunning and attract men's gaze. Stylists and cosmetologists confidently declare: only correctly selected, high-quality cosmetics will help ladies highlight their beauty and create an ideal image. How to choose decorative cosmetics and exactly the one that suits you, among such a wide range that is available to us today?

How to choose decorative cosmetics

Take into account the advice in our article.

1. Buy decorative cosmetics exclusively in specialized salons or stores. The fact is that the chemical compounds it contains can undergo irreversible changes if storage conditions are not met. By applying such lipstick or cream to your skin, you risk experiencing allergies or even dermatitis. Exposure to direct sunlight on natural cosmetics can be detrimental to it. How it will affect your skin is unknown. Therefore, you cannot buy such products in the markets.
2. Use testers before making your final purchase decision. In all modern stores, customers can see racks with tester packages. The verification procedure is needed not only to choose the appropriate shade of lipstick or blush. It is also important to evaluate how suitable the decorative product is for your epidermis and whether it will cause allergies.
3. Trust your beauty and appearance only to well-known, trusted manufacturing companies and brands. It seems to you that when you buy expensive eye shadow or foundation, you are overpaying for a name or logo that is heard by all fashionistas. But it is not so. Expensive brands use the highest quality, safest and natural ingredients in their products, which will turn any product into the most effective one. This is considered especially important when purchasing anti-aging, caring cosmetics.

Sensitive skin

Sometimes a woman does not take care of her skin, but it only becomes irritated, red and tingling. What to do if the skin reacts so sharply to seemingly standard procedures?

One of the most important signs of sensitive skin is increased permeability of its lipid barrier. If the barrier is reliable, then the skin is reliably protected from infections, allergens, external irritants, etc. But in some situations, the skin’s ability to withstand the effects of the external environment decreases, and then it is easier for irritating factors to penetrate into the thickness of the skin. The main task of the immune system is to protect the body's cells with all its might, so it immediately reacts to such a situation, which manifests itself in the form of an inflammatory reaction. Even the most unexpected factors in their simplicity can provoke it: some components in cosmetics, tap water, temperature changes, even touch.

Why does skin become sensitive?

Some people's skin is naturally more permeable than others, although people often make it that way. The reasons for increased skin sensitivity may be:

• Incorrect care. If you cleanse your skin too zealously with an abundance of surfactants and too often use products that contain substances that destroy the lipid barrier: alcohols, harsh emulsifiers, salicylic acid, etc.
• Peelings and scrubs. We're not talking about using scrubs 1-2 times a week, but about those manic ladies who seem to be trying to grind themselves into powder with daily exfoliation. If you abuse scrubs every day, and do peeling at home every week instead of undergoing the procedure in a dermatologist's office, then the stratum corneum of the skin will inevitably become thinner, and at the same time the lipid barrier will weaken, and its permeability will increase.

How to cleanse sensitive skin?

To cleanse sensitive skin, it is important to reduce the destructive effect of surfactants on the lipid barrier, for which you should switch to washing with Sativa No. 52 milk

. Milk is a liquid cream, an emulsion containing oils that are slowly absorbed into the skin. It contains no surfactants at all. The skin of the face best accepts the emulsion, which mixes with the impurities on it and is then easily washed off with water.

Here you do not need to wipe your face with a cotton pad soaked in milk; instead, you need to apply it to your face moistened with water, massage it and rinse. This type of washing is beneficial not only for sensitive and dry skin, but also for oily and combination skin. If oily skin is not degreased too diligently, its sebaceous glands will gradually calm down and stop producing sebum in massive doses.

If washing with milk causes psychological discomfort to someone, then in order to reduce the effects of surfactants, the cleanser must first be mixed with water and foamed in the palms, and then applied to a wet face. You can also use foaming cleansers, as long as they are not made with saponified oils.

Many products contain surfactants - micellar water, washing gels, hydrophilic oil. If you wash your face with them actively (hold on the skin for a long time and rub), then the surfactant molecules will capture not only cosmetics, dirt and surface fats, but also the barrier lipids necessary for the skin. The consequences of this will be sensitivity, dehydration, and tightness of the skin.

Which cream to choose for sensitive skin?

The skin needs to be “fed” with oils containing many essential fatty acids for the construction of the lipid barrier. Similar products include all serums and night creams from Sativa - No. 25, , , 88, 82 and 89.

Serum Sativa No. 88

Sativa Serum No. 88 is especially rich in omega-3 acids. But even when they intensely nourish the skin, it is impossible to saturate the entire body in this way. It is clear that no cream can replace vegetable oil or fatty fish in the diet.

Serums Sativa No. 82,

If you need to quickly restore the skin, or it is already in a deplorable state, then you will need strong products in the form of Sativa serums No. 82 and No. 89, which contain a complex of physiological lipids and ceramides. These serums significantly accelerate the restoration of the stratum corneum and reduce skin sensitivity. And since there are fats here that have already been partially transformed into phospholipids and ceramides, the skin will need less effort to synthesize only part of these substances.

How often can you use these serums? If you need to reduce skin sensitivity and restore the lipid barrier, then 2 times a day. When leaving after peeling - up to 4 times a day after the final procedure for a course of 2-3 weeks, and then reduce the frequency to 2 times a day. For ichthyosis, dermatitis, atopic dermatitis in remission and various psychosomatic dermatoses - 4 times a day to areas of peeling and redness.

Combination skin

In combination skin, the sebaceous glands work at different levels with different intensities. Therefore, there are even more problems with it than with other types of skin, and it is important to correctly distinguish the problem that belongs to you:

Oily combination skin

• In the T-zone, by evening there is a distinct shine, while along the periphery of the face the dermis continues to remain normal - this is how combination skin with a tendency to oily behaves.
• In the summer she sweats a lot and the T-zone gets shiny very quickly. In autumn, the composition of the hydrolipid mantle changes, the amount of sweat decreases, and sebum becomes thicker. The skin looks even more oily.

Combination skin prone to dryness

• Throughout the day, the T-zone remains normal, but the skin on the periphery of the face begins to peel off, and a feeling of tightness arises - these are already signs of combination skin with a tendency to dryness.
• In some areas of the skin, there is insufficient functioning of the sebaceous glands. Due to a lack of natural fats, the scales of the stratum corneum begin to bristle, and the skin flakes and dries even more.
• The worst thing is when the sebaceous glands work intensively in one area, and weaker than normal in another. Then the T-zone may begin to shine by lunchtime, and the periphery of the face will dry out, flake and tighten. In such particularly advanced cases, you will have to select separate care for each area of ​​the skin.

How to choose cosmetics for everyday makeup

For everyday makeup you don't need a lot of products, but choose them carefully. A basic set of everyday cosmetics will include lipstick, mascara and eye shadow, makeup base, foundation and blush. How to choose a basic set for natural makeup for every day? The tips below are designed for two skin types - cold and warm. With this in mind, you can choose cosmetics that will highlight the benefits of your skin and help you look better.

How to determine your skin type This can be done very simply. Just look at your wrist veins in a bright light. If they are bluish, you have a cool skin type, if they are greenish, you have a warm skin color. If you have olive skin, you will likely have a hard time determining the color of your veins. Olive skin is usually classified as a neutral skin type. In this case, you can choose cosmetics for both skin types, cold and warm. There are a few more tips when determining your skin type. You can apply some silver-colored clothing to the inside of your wrist. Then against this background it is easier to determine the color of the veins. Or put on your jewelry and see what suits you best: silver or gold jewelry. As a rule, gold jewelry is more suitable for warm skin types, and silver jewelry for cold skin types. Now you can move on to tips on choosing basic everyday cosmetics. 1. Makeup base This product helps prepare the skin for makeup, protects it from the harmful effects of particles of decorative cosmetics and serves to preserve the applied cosmetics for a longer time. Choose a foundation depending on the oiliness of the skin and skin type: cold, warm or neutral. If your skin is dry, you need to take a radiant foundation, and for other skin types, a mattifying one. It's usually safer to buy a foundation that's a little darker than your skin tone. 2. Foundation Cream foundation evens out skin color. Just like when choosing a foundation, consider what skin type you have and whether you have visible pores. If visible, you need a mattifying foundation; for other skin types, you need a moisturizing tonic.

3. Blush Blush is sold in liquid, powder and solid forms. If blood vessels show through your skin and there are red dots or spots, choose pink blush or pink-brown. If there are brownish spots on the skin, it is better to take a coral or peach blush. You can reliably choose the color of blush only by applying it to your face, on top of your foundation.

4. Shadows For everyday makeup, it is better to choose matte shadows. For the eyelid and above the crease of the eyelid, up to the eyebrows, creamy shades are suitable; for the contour of the eyelashes - the darkest shadows, brown for cold skin types and gray-brown for warm skin types. An intermediate shade of brown is suitable for the crease of the eyelid. You can buy some other light shadows in other shades, but it is not recommended to change the type, cold or warm. 5. Mascara Mascara can lengthen eyelashes, voluminous - giving thickness to eyelashes, and also separating eyelashes. Think about what is more important to you.

6. Lipstick It is best for every day to choose a discreet, not flashy, more natural lipstick: brownish-pink for a cold type and brownish-peach for a warm type. Brownish-red lipstick suits brunettes and brown-haired women with tanned faces. With such a basic set of cosmetics, you can never go wrong.
