Prevention of skin aging should be started at a young age. In adolescence, facial care is needed, and it is necessary to choose cosmetics that are suitable for this age and the type of skin of the person, for example, for problematic, dry skin, etc.
Skin care products must be changed periodically. Women who have been using the same cosmetics for a long time often ask cosmetologists or dermatologists: “Maybe it’s time to try a new cream? I’ve been using this cream for about a year, I probably need another one, because this cream is no longer so effective.”
In fact, the need to buy new cosmetics arises only when some problems appear, for example, acne or inflammation. And buying new creams in order to replace the old ones is a waste of time and money. In addition, when medical problems arise, it is necessary not only to change care, but also to use medical products, for example, for acne – A-Ret Gel, and for allergies – Aristocort.
When you use the same cream for a long time, and then abruptly stop using it, withdrawal syndrome can occur, which scares many people. This is the worst horror in the cosmetics industry. Most women, buying an anti-wrinkle cream, are afraid that when they stop using it, not only will the old wrinkles return, but new ones will also appear.
But in fact, “withdrawal syndrome” can only be caused by taking strong medicinal or narcotic drugs: psychotropic drugs, narcotics, thyroid hormones, antidepressants, sex hormone analogs, tranquilizers, and when a person quits smoking. The components of ordinary creams do not have the same activity as steroids. Sometimes you get the impression that your skin has become worse, but this is because either the new cream did not suit you or you spend less time on skin care.
There are rumors that hormonal cosmetics have magical properties. Many women are sure that with the help of hormonal creams, they will look ten years younger. But if you stop using such cosmetics, it will lead to rapid aging.
In fact, you can only look 10 years younger with the help of Photoshop or plastic surgery. Hormonal cosmetics include phytoestrogens, a substance of plant origin, but it will not help to achieve such an effect. This is a myth spread by mass media. Phytoestrogens are added not only to creams, but also to medicines. They do not have the side effect described by the yellow press – if you stop applying them, the skin will begin to age very quickly.
Many funds of various cosmetic companies are used for advertising. Therefore, many girls and women are sure that it is better to use cosmetics of only one brand. But in reality it is not so. The ingredients contained in the tonic, cream and other various cosmetic products may not be compatible with each other and can cause allergies even if they are of the same brand. Therefore, use the advice of cosmetologists and dermatologists, pay attention to the composition of care products, and not only to the manufacturer. Then your care will be not only effective, but also safe.
