How is a nourishing cream different from a moisturizer?
Many girls think that moisturizing and nourishing cream are one and the same. But in fact, each of these tools performs its specific function and has special characteristics. To understand how a nourishing cream differs from a moisturizer, it is necessary to consider in detail the purpose and features of each of them.
Kinds
Nutritious
Nourishing cream is recommended for mature skin - girls under 25-30 years old do not need to use it. It heals the skin of the face and hands from pimples and roughness, regenerates the upper layer of the epithelium, fills it with essential vitamins and minerals. Recommended for oily, problematic, withered skin.
The consistency of the nutrient is very thick, similar to sour cream.
It is recommended to use in spring and winter - the product protects against the effects of cold winds, and in summer it prevents the epithelium from drying out. Used at night when the skin is most receptive to absorption of nutrients.
Other properties of the nourishing cream:
- protects from cold and the appearance of cracks;
- slows down aging;
- created on a plant basis;
- used as face masks.

Moisturizing
Moisturizers are universal - suitable for any type of skin and are used at any time of the day.The main task is to moisturize the epithelium, prevent peeling, relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
The main components of the moisturizer are hyaluronic acid and glycerin, as well as vitamins and minerals.
Unlike a nourishing moisturizer, it is recommended for dry, sensitive skin. It is used during the day, in warm weather (it is impossible to use the product in the cold season), and also as a basis for applying makeup.

Variety of brands
There are many brands of cosmetics that produce care products of different varieties. As a rule, each of the firms has its own specifics, its focus. For example, Nivea mainly produces nourishing products, and Vichy - moisturizers with collagen, which prevents aging.
brand Dao de Mei It has not only a moisturizing effect, but also a healing, rejuvenating, and antibacterial effect. Natural cosmetic TianDe rejuvenates the skin and fills it with useful minerals of nature itself.
There are also products with additional moisture - for example, the French brand Yon-Ka.
Two in one
Innovative beauty products also include blends, such as Mary Kay's Advanced Moisturizing Renewal Nourishing Cream. Such a tool performs several functions at once: moisturizes and nourishes the dermis, nourishes with minerals and rejuvenates, becomes the basis for applying makeup. A distinctive feature of such products is good quality and a positive effect on the skin, but at the same time high cost for a small amount.

And at what time of the year to apply a mixed cream (nutrition / moisturizing)?
Mix nutrition + moisturizing is applied in the off-season: in spring and summer.
According to the needs of the skin, but moisturizing in the cold is definitely not needed, it is better at night.
I think that in winter, a nourishing cream should be applied in the morning (because a moisturizer cannot be applied before leaving the house), and a moisturizer at night. In the warm season - according to needs, you can only moisturize, for example.
