Shower gel

Each representative of the fair sex does everything possible to maintain her beauty, youth and freshness. Perhaps that is why every home on the dressing table you can see a whole lot of different cosmetics aimed at maintaining healthy skin.

Purification is the very first step. Wash your face at least twice a day: in the morning and before bed. Today, cosmetic stores offer a wide range of products, from which it can be difficult to choose the right one. Washing gels are the most popular. Let's see why.

The name of the tool speaks for itself. It is designed for thorough cleansing of dust, particles of dirt, sebaceous secretions from the face. And then the thought of using soap for this purpose comes to mind. But not everything is so simple.It causes feelings of tightness and dryness, and with prolonged use can lead to peeling, which negatively affects the tone and moisture of the dermis. This is due to the fact that the product contains alkali, which not only effectively removes dirt, but also destroys the epidermis, which makes it vulnerable to external irritating factors. With prolonged such cleansing, peeling and premature aging may appear. There is no aggressive alkali in the washing gel. And you can choose the product according to your skin type.

The composition of the product includes components that gently cleanse impurities, help get rid of black spots, saturate the epidermis with useful substances. Properly selected product not only removes dirt, but also has an antibacterial effect. The exfoliating component that may be in the composition will prepare the face for further care.

Finding the right cleanser for you can be tricky. Store shelves are literally bursting with all kinds of this product. The variety of brands, colors and fragrances can be confusing. To make the right choice, you should pay special attention to studying the composition of the product and determine for yourself which components are needed and which ones should be discarded.

Ideally, if the composition of the cosmetic product is natural, i. contain a lot of plant extracts, extracts from herbs and plants. Of course, minerals, useful vitamins, vegetable oils, antibacterial components must be present in the composition. However, such a gel is very difficult to find in network outlets. Therefore, you need to know which surface-active substances (surfactants) will foam well and have a beneficial effect.

In total, four options for washing gels can be distinguished, according to the type of surfactants included in their composition:

• Washing products that include amphoteric substances. These are the most highly effective gels of all, but also very expensive. If you see Cocoyl, Sarcosine or Betaine on the bottle, then this is exactly such a drug. Using this product, you can be sure that your skin will be deeply cleansed, but at the same time soft and gentle, and perfectly moisturized without disturbing the structure. The feeling of freshness will last a long time. Suitable for all skin types.
• Tools that include anionic substances. Such components do not penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, but perfectly remove the secretion of the sebaceous glands, exfoliate the cells. On the bottle of such a product, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) may be indicated, which dries the epidermis a little; or Magnesium Laureth Sulfate (MLS), which is less drying to the skin. Such gels perfectly and abundantly foam and are suitable for oily skin.
• Tools that include cationic materials. Such a composition is quite aggressive, can lead to dryness and even cause an allergic reaction, as it penetrates into the deepest layers of the skin and destroys the protective barrier. The bottle contains Polyquaternium or Quaternium. So if you are not sure that your skin will tolerate such a cleansing composition, then it is better not to risk it. It should not be used by those with sensitive skin.
• Tools that include non-ionic ingredients. These are the most harmless and very useless cleansing substances. They are very cheap. They simply remove dirt from the skin of the face, but they themselves lather very poorly.The formulation listed on the label will contain Decyl-Glucoside. It is worth thinking carefully before purchasing such a tool, even if it is suitable for any skin type.

When choosing a facial skin care product, you need to take into account all the nuances. It is especially important to correctly determine your skin type, this will greatly facilitate the cleansing process and accelerate the appearance of a positive result. According to the type of epidermis, funds can be divided into four types:

• for dry skin;
• for combination and oily skin;
• for problem skin;
• for dehydrated skin.

In addition to the above factors, gels can be:

• antibacterial;
• moisturizing - prevent dryness and peeling;
• hypoallergenic - the composition should not contain aggressive substances and artificial dyes;

You can also choose a tool that is created taking into account the age characteristics and needs of the epidermis. Remember that all manufacturers protect their reputation, so do not doubt the quality of their products - they have been tested many times. But remember that you will have to pay extra for the brand.

Not always problems with the skin cover with adolescence. Some women continue to struggle with redness, irritation and rashes into adulthood. This may be due to improper care, since all negative factors immediately affect the health of the epidermis. To look good, it is necessary not only to clean well, but also to saturate the skin with nutrients. The very first step for this is washing with a suitable product.

Problem skin. Here it is important not only to clean, but also to act on irritations, eliminate dryness and flaking. The composition of such a gel must necessarily contain salicylic alcohol, which relieves inflammation; antibacterial component; zinc, which eliminates allergic reactions; natural substances of directed action for the treatment of the epidermis. These gels include:

• products with or without thermal effect, which draw irritants and sebum from the deep layers of the skin. The thermal effect gently warms the dermis, as a result of which it is cleansed, becomes smooth and tender to the touch.
• mattifying agents. They have a directed action on the removal of comedones and sebum, and there is no oily sheen on the skin after their use.
• aloe extract products. Effectively eliminate acne.

Oily skin. A product for this type should not contain alcohol and its components.But the presence of useful acids will be most welcome, because it will remove unhealthy shine from the effect, normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, and destroy microbes and microorganisms. Zinc and retinol will also contribute to this, as they reduce inflammation.

Dry skin. For her, you need to choose a product that has the most moisturizing composition. The skin must be reliably protected from the influence of external factors. These gels include:

• products with Hydra IQ almond oil. They will not only cleanse the skin well, but also saturate it with moisture and allow it to be kept inside the dermis for a long time.
• products with control of water tone with lactose and glycerin. They take moisture from the external environment and securely hold it in the skin. Soap should not be included as it can disturb the water balance.
• products for very dry skin. It deserves some attention, since it will be more difficult to restore the moisture balance. Jojoba oil, mineral-enriched water, glycerin and lactose will help to do this. The more natural ingredients, the better. But if you notice a component, fragrances or heavy particles in the composition of SLS, then refrain from buying, as they clog pores.

Acne prone skin. Gel for such skin must necessarily contain an antibacterial complex, preferably of natural origin. Substances that have an antimicrobial effect include extracts from medicinal herbs, cosmetic oil of orange, lemon, basil.

Washing gels based on herbs and their components will perfectly care for any skin type. They will keep you feeling fresh and hydrated for longer.Do not forget about your nutrition and hygiene maintenance.

A small amount of cleanser should be applied to the skin and fingertips, spread the foaming composition all over the face with light circular movements, paying particular attention to problem areas. You can leave the product on the skin for 15-20 seconds. Then the foam needs to be washed off with warm water and pat your face dry with a towel.
