Day cream for the face is needed primarily to protect and moisturize the skin throughout the day. Protection involves reducing the effect on the skin of such adverse factors as ultraviolet rays, soot, dust, frost, wind and others that clog pores, preventing the skin from breathing, dry it out, and accelerate the aging process. Therefore, at any time of the year, in any weather, a woman needs to take care of her skin and, depending on the task, choose a day cream. We will talk about its properties below.

The moisturizing function is necessary to retain moisture in the epidermis. Due to its loss, the skin is prone to rapid aging. Day moisturizer retains moisture by creating a film on the surface of the skin. However, this property may be impaired due to the dryness of the air in the room where you are. Moisturizing cream may not moisturize at all, but, on the contrary, will give moisture. The mechanism of action is such that hydrants begin to work on moisturizing where it is more needed (that is, in the atmosphere). Thus, with increased dryness of the air, moisture evaporates from the surface of the skin.

Spreading a thick layer of cream is wrong. Better take care to put a humidifier , then the action of the cream will be directed to the skin cells.

Pay attention to the sensations after applying the cream. If the cream is too absorbed, causing a feeling of tightness and even burning, then the cream is not suitable for you. In some cases, it is generally recommended to apply a nourishing night cream containing fats and nutrients in its composition if the skin is depleted and requires enhanced care.

Day cream for summer

For the summer season, it is better to choose a cream with a light texture that has a high SPF factor, since the sun's rays are more aggressive in summer. If spf-4 is enough for winter , then a higher degree of protection from 10 to 20 is suitable for summer. You need to start caring in the spring, because after winter the skin has become more vulnerable and will react very painfully to active ultraviolet radiation.

Day cream for winter

It is not recommended to apply a daytime moisturizer in winter immediately before going outside (at least half an hour) after morning water procedures and cleansing of the skin of the face , since hydrants that have penetrated into the upper layer of the epidermis, under the influence of cold, can cause dryness and microdamages. Simply put, the moisture will freeze and damage the cells.

In frost, it is generally recommended to apply special fatty protective creams. If these are not at hand, oil or nourishing cream will do.

Do not rely on creams with a lifting effect in the sense of maintaining elasticity. While the skin is young, it itself must maintain its functions. However, if she is "addicted" to the action of creams, then she will very quickly lose the habit of synthesizing collagen and elastin. Therefore, always look at the age mark for using this cream and do not neglect this recommendation.

To choose the right cream for your skin, you first need to determine its type: normal, dry, combination or oily. If the skin in the T-zone is oily, then you may need different creams for different areas of the skin.
