The best body care cosmetics. The best tips on how to take care of your body

Just like face creams, body care products should be chosen according to the needs of the skin. After all, components suitable for one type may be harmful for another. Today, there is a wide range of body products on store shelves, but price and brand recognition do not always indicate quality. How can a buyer understand such diversity? What substances in the composition should you be wary of? How to choose a product that is right for you? Our Buyer's Guide will tell you about this.

What types of body products are there?

Body skin care products vary in release form (texture). You can choose either a thick cream or a light spray lotion. But each texture has its own advantages and disadvantages.

• Body creams are thick products that, due to their heavy texture, are most often used for dry and very dry skin.
  Pros: They nourish and moisturize even very dry skin well.
  Cons: The cream can take a long time to absorb and is too heavy on the skin.
• Body milks are lightweight emulsions that can be formulated for a variety of purposes and skin types.
  Pros: light texture is absorbed faster (than in creams) and is not felt on the skin.
  Cons: none.
• Body lotion is an even more liquid product than milk. They are designed for different skin types. They are often made in the form of body sprays.
  Pros: light texture is absorbed faster (compared to creams and milk) and is not felt on the skin.
  Cons: These products may not be enough to moisturize dry skin.
• Body oil is usually a mixture of several oils. They can be either solid or liquid. Their modern analogue, the so-called dry body oils, are mixtures of natural oils and silicones that are quickly absorbed into the skin.
  Pros: the fats included in the composition nourish the skin well.
  Cons: Some oils leave a greasy film on the skin that is not immediately absorbed.

How to choose a body product

The choice of product depends on your skin type and its needs. Some body products can be nourishing, softening and moisturizing, while others are designed to combat cellulite and signs of aging. But manufacturers do not always indicate on the packaging who their product is suitable for, limiting themselves to the general phrase “For all skin types,” so you should study the composition yourself.

To begin with, to choose the right body skin care product, you need to answer two questions:

1. What is your skin type? To determine this, you need to do a napkin test.

Napkin test. After a shower, do not apply body product to your skin and after a few hours, apply a napkin to it. If there are few oily marks on it, then you have normal skin. If there are a lot of greasy spots, then it is oily. A dry wipe indicates dry skin.

1. What do you need lotion for? Improve skin condition, slow down age-related changes, get rid of skin irritation or cellulite?

Having answered these questions, you can already look for the components that are suitable for you.

For dry skin see:

• Texture: cream, milk, body butter
• Components:
  • emollients (almond oil, peach or apricot oil, honey)
  • nutritious (shea butter, avocado, mango)
  • moisturizing (aloe, wheat proteins, sorbitol, propylene glycol, glycerin)

For oily skin see:

• Texture: milk, lotion, body oil
• Components:
  • pigment-constricting (lemon, grapefruit, witch hazel)
  • antimicrobial (essential oil of lavender, tea tree, rosemary, zinc).

For sensitive skin see:

• Components:
  • sunscreens (titanium dioxide, benzophenone, cinnamates)
  • film-forming agents (algae extracts, beta-glucan, chitosan, aloe vera gel, alginic acid).

For aging skin, see:

• Texture: depending on skin type
• Components:
  • antioxidants (grape extract, vitamin E, evening primrose)
  • regenerating (retinol, wheat germ oil)
  • sunscreens (titanium dioxide, benzophenone, cinnamates).

To combat cellulite, see:

• Texture: depending on skin type
• Components:
  • venotonics (ginkgo biloba extract, grape seed oil)
  • soothing (chamomile, rose, allantoin, azulene, bisabolol, gamma hazel, jasmine)
  • film-forming ingredients that stimulate blood circulation
  • film-forming agents (algae extracts, beta-glucan, chitosan, aloe vera gel, alginic acid).

Please check before purchasing

The right components in the composition are not everything. There are a few more things to consider before purchasing:

• How quickly the product is absorbed. To do this, you can apply it to your hand and walk with it for 2-5 minutes. A product that absorbs quickly is most convenient, because after applying it you can get dressed right away.
• Does it protect against harmful sun rays? Body cream (or other product) with sun protection is designated SPF (for example, SPF 15, SPF 30). If you moisturize your skin before going outside, it is better to choose this product. If you use products only before bed, then choose a composition without sunscreen components - they contain more substances beneficial for the skin.
• What does the product smell like? If you use perfume, it is better to choose an unscented product or take a lotion + perfume set from the same series so that they complement each other.
• What is its expiration date? An expired product may do more harm than good. A spoiled product may also separate and have an unpleasant rancid odor.

• Anti-cellulite products are not a panacea.
  Manufacturers say that their body creams with a tightening and modeling effect will make the skin elastic and eliminate cellulite. In fact, treating this problem requires an integrated approach: proper diet, exercise and improving local blood circulation with the help of cosmetics and procedures. All these measures are ineffective individually.
  • Diet. To prevent and combat cellulite, it is recommended to limit the consumption of fried, fatty foods, smoked foods, pickles, marinades, and sweets. You should supplement your diet with freshly squeezed juices, seaweed dishes and special herbal and vitamin complexes (with ginkgo biloba, rosemary, hawthorn and turmeric extract).
  • Physical exercise. A sedentary lifestyle leads to stagnation of blood and lymph and, as a result, cellulite. People with sedentary jobs should exercise regularly, take more walks, and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. When blood does not stagnate, the skin remains young and elastic longer.
  • Cosmetical tools. Anti-cellulite body creams should contain components that improve blood circulation, strengthen blood vessels, soften and soothe the skin.
  • Cosmetic procedures. The easiest way to improve blood circulation is a contrast shower. It is also recommended to rub problem areas with a dry or wet washcloth.
• Silicones are not as harmful as they are said to be.
  Silicones are used to soften, moisturize and protect the skin. They improve the consistency of the cream, making it lighter and easier to apply. However, it is believed that silicones can clog pores, preventing the skin from breathing and eliminating toxins. But experts say that these compounds are safe. They are inert to the skin and rarely cause irritation. They are even used in medicine to restore skin after burns. The action of silicones is compared to a tea bag that allows water to pass through, but not tea leaves.
• Parabens are an effective and safe preservative.
  Many people have heard that parabens cause cancer. It all started with a small article in a research journal that reported the discovery of parabens in breast tumors. But further experiments (about 265 studies in total!) could not prove that preservatives cause cancer. Therefore, the FDA (American Food and Drug Administration) has recognized them as safe, effective compounds. Note that parabens are often found in wildlife: in blueberries, black currants, peaches, carrots, onions, cocoa beans and vanilla.
• Fragrant body products can cause allergies.
  The pleasant aroma of body products is one of their main advantages. Often a woman buys new milk only because of its pleasant smell. But it is worth considering that fragrances give such products a pleasant smell. Safe fragrances, as a rule, are indicated in the composition with the word “parfum”, and manufacturers are required to indicate potentially allergenic ones in the composition in full. They can cause skin irritation and an allergic reaction, so if you are hypersensitive, then you should avoid such components. Or, as an option, test a trial amount of the product for 2-3 days, applying it to a small area of ​​skin. Allergenic fragrances include limonene, linalol, menthol, mint, grapefruit oil, hexycinnamal, geraniol, butylphenyl methylpropional.

It is often difficult to understand the properties of a new cosmetic product right in the store. To make your choice easier, the site’s experts tested the most popular ones in the laboratory and on a test group. Test results can be found in our

Night cream Night Recovery Cream-Oil, Elemis

Peptide cosmetics have long won the hearts of those who want to restore youth and freshness to the skin, since peptides (or simply organic proteins) trigger the rejuvenation process and stimulate cell renewal. Despite the impressive moisturizing, the night cream oil is instantly absorbed into the skin and does not leave the feeling of a greasy film on the face.

You don’t have to wait long for the product to be absorbed and be afraid of leaving greasy marks on the pillow. In the morning, your skin looks smooth and radiant, like a Disney princess, as if you slept for at least 10 hours. The night violet oil in the composition will not leave indifferent lovers of cosmetics with a pleasant aroma - moreover, the warm floral notes perfectly help me tune in to a deep, healthy sleep.

Price: 4,320 rub.

Face cream L’Oxygenante In-Tense, Aura Chakè

If you have been looking for a cream that will make you feel luxurious, try the French dermo-cosmetic mask Aura Chakè. The founder of the brand was inspired by the story of the Egyptian princess Ora Shake, who managed to find the secret to maintaining youth and her appearance did not change throughout her life. Ora prepared “magic” potions, and kept the recipes in the strictest confidence.

Of course, you can’t fool us with such tales - we don’t need drugs, we need a super cream! So L’Oxygènante In-Tense instantly makes the skin beautiful - it helps saturate it with oxygen and saves it from drying out. Egyptian princesses were unlikely to suffer from polluted city air, but we know about this firsthand. The product strengthens the protective functions of the skin, improves structure and relaxes facial muscles - and all this thanks to perfluorodecoline molecules (try to pronounce this word five times without hesitation). It also contains plant extracts - they saturate the skin with vitamins and protect against temperature changes.

And if you are still looking for the perfect premium face cream,

Cream nourishment for the face “Honey Pot”, OrganicKitchen

This cream is one of the best finds in recent times. I use it at night when I need “heavy artillery” to moisturize and nourish the skin after several layers of makeup. Contains natural ingredients. The main one is organic honey, which is responsible for deep hydration. Be careful - the product takes a long time to absorb. If you apply it before makeup, it will smear instantly.

Price: 55 rub.

Face cream Génifique Nutrics, Lancome

In winter, due to dry air and temperature changes, the skin needs special care, nutrition and hydration. When dehydrated, it quickly loses its elasticity, fine wrinkles become noticeable, and peeling begins. I solve these problems with the help of Génifique Nutrics from Lancome - an ideal winter option. It can be used morning and evening.

The consistency is thick, but the cream is instantly absorbed. If you have oily skin, apply it at night - during the day it can cause shine.

The packaging for Génifique Nutrics says “youth activator.” However, there are no age restrictions - it is suitable for both young and older categories.

Price: about 5,500 rub.

Cream maskPrime Renewing Pack,Valmont

For deep nutrition, I recommend the Prime Renewing Pack anti-stress cellular cream mask from Valmont. Also perfectly nourishes - thanks to mint lactate. I like the fact that after it the tone is evened out and the pores become invisible. Leave for 10 minutes and then remove any residue with a damp cloth.

Price: about 11,00 rub.

Advanced Night Repair Mask-In-Oil, Estée Lauder

Estée Lauder came up with a very interesting mask format - Advanced Night Repair Mask-In-Oil. If necessary, it can be used every day, or just when the skin needs more restoration and nutrition than usual. The oil has a light, fine texture and smells traditionally like Advanced Night Repair products. It should be applied at night, on top of the serum. In the morning, the skin is not only more nourished, but also more even in tone. It’s also great that you only need a couple of drops of oil, so it is consumed very slowly and will last for a long time.

Price: 8,200 rub.
