In an effort to be beautiful, almost every woman buys a huge amount of various skin care products. Some of them are less effective, while others, on the contrary, have a stunning effect. The result depends not only on the makeup of the cosmetics, but also on how correctly it is used. How to apply cream on the face so that it brings maximum benefit? We will try to figure this out.
What you need to know first
The art of being beautiful is a whole science that is very difficult to study thoroughly. But, despite this, there are certain rules that every girl should know. In order for the face to remain young and well-groomed for as long as possible, it must be thoroughly cleaned at least several times a day. In the morning, you need to wash off the grease and dust collected during the night, in the evening, remove makeup.
As a rule, special foam cleansers and make-up removers are used for this. Then a calming lotion or tonic that regulates the pH of the skin is applied to the skin. Only after the procedures done can one ask the question: how to apply the cream on the face?
So different creams
The beauty industry does not stand still, and almost every day various cosmetic skincare products appear on store shelves. There are a huge number of products that differ in purpose, by the type of skin for which they are intended, by composition (based on water, alcohol or oils). In order to answer the question of how to apply the cream on the face, you must first determine the type of cosmetic product that will be used.
Nourishing and Moisturizing Cream
Such a cosmetic product as a nourishing cream is used mainly in the winter, when the skin is most exposed to low temperatures, and the body lacks minerals and vitamins. A moisturizer is necessary for facial skin in the summer. There are a lot of such creams, and the choice depends on personal preferences. The important thing is that no matter which product you choose from this assortment, you need to know how to apply the cream on the face correctly so that it brings maximum benefit.
First of all, if the product is used for the first time, you need to do a sensitivity test. Thus, you will protect yourself from an allergic reaction on the surface of the entire face. It is important to choose a day or night cream in accordance with the type of skin, because if you apply cream to oily skin for dry skin (which contains much more lipid components), then after a few hours the oily sheen will significantly increase. It is not at all advisable to apply the product over the entire surface of the face at night, as a rule, only problem areas (skin around the eyes, neck) need to be moisturized, the rest should breathe. Also, cosmetologists believe that you need to apply face cream no later than an hour before going outside.
Direction for applying day and night creams
Nourishing and moisturizing agent is applied with fingertips, patting movements. In order to make it easier to distribute, first apply points to certain areas (cheekbones, forehead, nose, chin), and then distribute it throughout the face. Thus, it is easier to navigate the direction of movement. The cream is applied to the forehead and chin from the middle to the sides, to the nose - from top to bottom, from the wings of the nose to the cheekbones. Applying the cream should be like a mini massage, this will allow the skin to remain well-groomed and toned. If another cosmetic product, for example powder, is applied to it, then before applying the second one, you need to wait about 10 minutes until the cream is absorbed. If you do not maintain the required interval, the unabsorbed product mixes with powder and clogs the pores, the skin will not breathe, which is fraught with the occurrence of acne.
Foundation creams
What is such a cream for? First of all, in order to mask minor imperfections, in addition, you can slightly adjust the tone of the face and select certain areas on it to make it more proportional. It is very important to know how to apply foundation on the face, because if applied incorrectly, the face becomes like a mask. First of all, the skin, of course, needs to be cleaned, then you can apply a foundation for makeup or an ordinary day cream and let it soak in, so the “tonic” will last longer.
There are several ways to apply: with a brush, sponge or with your hands. The choice of this or that depends on the expected result, for a denser layer use a brush or a dry sponge, for a thinner layer it is best to use your fingers, because it is much easier to adjust the coating layer.
We apply "tonalnik"
So, how to apply foundation on the face? The cream is distributed in the direction from the center to the sides, and in no case in the opposite direction. In addition, if nourishing and moisturizing agents are applied by pats, then in this case it is necessary to make circular movements, while it is impossible to pull the skin strongly.
You also need to know how to apply foundation on your face in the morning and evening, because there are certain tricks. The fact is that lighting plays a very important role when using the product. The brighter the lighting, the more visible it is, so it is important to pay attention to the edges of the face, on which a clear transition line is sometimes displayed, it must be shaded. Check the makeup applied in daylight and under artificial lighting, then there will definitely be no different embarrassments.
How to apply cream on the area around the eyes
The area around the eyes is the thinnest and prone to wrinkles. It should never be rubbed and pulled. The skin in this place is so sensitive that the slightest improper effect on it can create a couple of extra wrinkles. We already learned how to apply foundation on the face, but the area around the eyes requires special attention. Any cream should be applied in a circle from the upper corner, then along the eyelid and down. Reverse movement: from bottom to top leads to the formation of wrinkles and puffiness under the eyes. It is absolutely not scary if the foundation gets on the eyelashes, after applying the mascara it will not be visible, and the eyelashes will be more voluminous.
The main mistakes when applying the cream
Many do not know that for applying it is necessary to use a warm cream, so it is absorbed faster. To do this, a little money is dripped onto the back of the hand (it heats up a bit) and then it is applied to the skin of the face with the fingertips. Especially this rule applies to creams made by yourself and stored in the refrigerator. Also, many cosmetologists argue that you should not hurry to apply the cream. The face, the photo of which is presented above, clearly illustrates how the skin may look if improper care. Movements on the face should be performed strictly along the massage lines, and then wrinkles will not bother you for a long time.
It is also important that before going out into the street at least an hour you need to apply a moisturizer. A person who is exposed to sudden changes in temperature is stressed, and collagen fibers can lose firmness and elasticity. It is very important to maintain a period of time so that the product is completely absorbed.
A huge number of mistakes young girls make when applying the "tonal". And if the moisturizer does not give cosmetic defects when used improperly, then the tonal product is very clearly visible even by the "inexperienced eye." It is very important to know how to apply foundation on the face. The photo presented above clearly shows what movements the tonal means is distributed. The tone of the cream should match the tone of the face, and the edges and neck should be carefully shaded so that the transition lines are almost invisible. The foundation on which the foundation is made is also important and must be appropriate for the type of skin. For oily and combination, it is recommended to use an alcohol-based cream; for dry, agents based on various oils are more suitable.
