A well-groomed, youthful, fit face with delicate, velvety, radiant skin is the dream of any woman. And each of us understands that without a cream - cleansing, tonic, moisturizing, nourishing - no anti-aging procedure will give a full-fledged result. Currently, the cosmetics industry offers many face skin care products with a signature stamp “for all skin types”. But we still prefer to purchase cosmetics in accordance with our own type. Whatever our skin may be: oily, dry, mixed, the method of applying the cream to the face is always the same. Choosing the right cream is very important, but knowing how to apply the cream on the face is even more important. After all, it has been proven that the effectiveness of the cream increases by at least 20 percent with proper application.
It should be recalled that before applying the cream to the face, you need to cleanse the skin from daytime contaminants (street dust), remove all traces of makeup with special means. In the morning, you can just wash yourself with cool boiled water. Clean, moist skin is the best foundation for the cream, the effect in this case will be maximum.
Recommendations and tips on how to apply the cream on the face, based on the features of the anatomical structure of the face. Wrinkles and folds of the skin are a condition of the muscular frame of the face. It is not necessary to know how and where muscles are attached to the facial bones, but it is necessary to know the lines of their contraction and stretching, tension and relaxation. It is they who determine the very skin lines along which the cream is applied.
These lines are always from the center, the middle to the sides and up, to the temples (from the middle of the forehead and nose wings); to the middle of the auricles - from the corners of the mouth; to the earlobes - from the middle of the chin. The upper and lower eyelids, the skin under the eyes does not touch.
The question "how to apply the cream on the face?" Contains one more question - how much cream is needed for a simultaneous procedure? Beauticians advise - the volume of the cream should be equal to the volume of a regular pea. This amount is enough to fully nourish or moisturize the skin.
Day and protective cream is applied first to the middle of the forehead and chin, to the tip of the nose, then evenly, with light touches of the fingers, distributed throughout the face in accordance with skin lines. As a rule, these creams are light, quickly absorbed, so this procedure will be quite appropriate.
Greasy, thick cream is recommended to be heated first. In the palm of one hand we rub the right amount with the fingers of the other. The heat of the hands will make the cream less dense and viscous. As a rule, nutritious creams have a dense texture. Therefore, observing the general principle of how to apply the cream on the face, you should pay more attention to the skin lines of the chin, nasolabial folds, wrinkles on the nose. We do not just apply the cream to these problem areas with light movements, but as if drive it into the skin with our fingers. Even careful patting of the palms or tingling are appropriate here. This procedure is similar to a light massage.
For applying an oily cream emulsion or cosmetic oil, the method that cosmetologists call the indentation method is ideal. The selected product is poured into the palm of one hand and pressed with the other. Then we press both palms to the face, as if embracing it, evenly distribute the cream and increase the pressure on the skin with rhythmic movements.
The skin around the eyes requires special attention. To care for her, special cosmetics are used. Both creams and cleansers have a light, delicate texture. Before applying the cream around the eyes, it is imperative to remove makeup. The movements should be directed in certain lines, avoid stretching the skin of the eyelids.
Beauticians do not recommend applying the cream directly to the upper eyelid, it is applied in the direction - from the inner corner of the eye to the outer on the skin under the eyebrows. For the most delicate skin of the upper eyelids, special nourishing masks are shown.
On the skin under the eyes, the nourishing agent is applied with careful touch of the fingers in the direction - from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. Here you can do a light massage, driving a little cream.
Excessive nourishing cream can be removed after twenty minutes, during which time the skin will receive the amount it needs.
