How do you choose the right face cream?

The absolute first rule to follow for having beautiful, healthy, and even skin is to choose a face cream that is actually right for us. In fact, there is no "good" face cream in general; rather, there are different face creams, with formulations designed in response to specific needs.

Understanding your skin type

Based on the premises made, it is easy to understand that in order to choose the perfect cream, one must first be able to identify their skin type.

In broad terms, skins can be of four different types, and each corresponds to particularly suitable ingredients and formulations:

Dry skin: dry skin is skin whose natural hydrolipidic film is easily destroyed by agents such as stress, smog, cold, and so on. If a good moisturizer is not used, it can easily become bothersome.

"Among the ingredients to look for in the face cream for your dry skin, we undoubtedly find:"

Avocado, shea butter, almond oil, olive oil or jojoba oil (in general, oils are recommended in this case for skin hydration)

Oily skin: oily skin is a type of skin that tends to shine throughout the day. In this case, a particularly rich and nourishing cream would make the skin even shinier. On the contrary, in this case, it is necessary to opt for creams with ingredients that help regulate sebum production, whose excessive presence makes it responsible for particularly oily skin.

The face cream in this case should be non-comedogenic and may contain:

tea tree, aloe vera, chamomile

Combination skin: combination skin is a type of skin that alternates between shinier areas and others that tend to dry out easily. Usually, the “oily” areas are identified with the T-zone, which is the area that runs from the forehead, through the nose, to the chin. It is probably the most difficult skin type to manage.

Normal skin: normal skin is undoubtedly the luckiest. It is a type of skin that does not visibly show any problems of any kind. In fact, it appears smooth, perfectly luminous, and even. In this case, therefore, a particularly moisturizing cream will not be needed as in the first case, but neither one that is too light as in the second case.
