26, that is 10 years younger than my biological age. It is true I am lucky to have a good genetic heritage, but I also did some work in order to keep my skin
healthy and clear. So I thought that it might be interesting for you to find out what I do for my skin and what the products that I use are.

fata. Chiar si cand eram extrem de obosita atunci cand alaptam de 8-10 ori pe zi, tot cu ochii inchisi ajungeam la baie si imi curatam fata, fie doar cu o apa micelara. Imi aduc aminte ca si dupa cezariana ( aveam 34 de ani), a doua zi cand am ajuns in salon simteam nevoia sa imi curat fata cu ceva, desi eram
la 12 ore dupa o interventie chirurgicala.
optim, adica sa simti ca tenul bea si el apa de care are nevoie din exterior si ca dupa ce o aplici parca simti cum zambeste fiecare celula de pe fata ta. Sunt rare produsele dupa care am simtit senzatia asta – le pot mentiona insa pe cele de la Uriage, Ivatherm, Cosmetic Plant, Bioderma si anumite produse de la Vichy.
demachiant pentru ochi. Nu suport lotiunile tonice sau le suport partial , extreme de diluate, adica aplic pe discheta intai apa si apoi doar stropesc un pic cu toner. Asta mi se intampla de ani de zile si practic de pe la 34 de ani am renuntat la lotiuni tonice. Pentru ca uneori am probleme locale cu cosuri temporare am
formulae for my face skin, which I can explain to myself; I have always preferred
dermo-cosmetic brands or Romanian brands such as Farmec, Elmiplant, Cosmetic
Plant or Herbagen. I have used and I am still using advanced creams from Dior,
Lancôme, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Elisabeth Arden, Lierac, Decleor, Academie. To
me, the great change came with the discovery of the bio creams – by brands like
Sophyto, Florame, Essential care, Ren – this really gave me the opportunity to experience
how your skin feels when you use almost nothing but bio products for about
three months. I am not a bio fanatic but I always have at least one bio product
in my daily routine.
understood that hydration is vital to your skin as it
cannot work properly if not hydrated. A good cream should provide an
optimal hydration; it should feel as if your skin was drinking its own water
and that, once you applied the product, every single cell on your face is
smiling. There are only a few products that really make me feel this way – I
can mention brands like Uriage, Ivatherm, Cosmetic Plant, Bioderma and some
Vichy products.
are free to do great things for your skin – you can use a facial serum in the
evening, a mask once a week or a more advanced cream every few days.
always requiring a cream type product or a very creamy lotion, a micellar
water, an eye cleanser. I do not tolerate tonic lotions, or if I really want to
use one, I strongly dilute it by moistening the cleansing disk first with water
and only then with a small amount of toner. This is happening to me for years
so I stopped using tonic lotions since I was around 34.
with some local problems caused by temporary pimples, I have in my emergency
kit products adapted for this matter by Bioderma, Uriage, Avene and Vichy. I
can always count on Triacneal gel by Avene. When there is only a small pimple,
I use Hyaluspot by Vichy. If there are small inflamed spots I use Vichy
Normaderm anti-ageing cream. I think this is one of the best formulae for local
adult acne; I can see how my skin gets balanced without getting dry. Although I
use this products quite rarely (sometimes after more than a month) I could not
do without them. Any inflammation on your face should be gradually reduced to
normal, and when you do this you need to take care not to cause another
problem. When Normaderm by Vichy was first launched in Romania, I used to apply
it all over the face even if I was dealing with only one pimple… the first day
my skin was looking great, but the next one it would start getting dry.
exfoliaza tenul printr-o actiune enzimatica,
am un asemenea produs de la Sophyto si urmeaza sa incerc si serul omolog
de la Artistry. Practic aceste produse dizolva resturile de celule moarte si alte
impuritati care se aduna pe fata.Mai nou testez si VisaPure de la Philips, un
beauty gadget care promite sa curete tenul extrem de bine si sanatos, inca nu
sunt convinsa 100% de capacitatile lui, dar inca suntem in teste ( eu am renuntat la ea, insa o folosesc in familie ).
cu mai multe actiuni cum este Eucerin Volume Filler , Glykolift de la Ivatherm
sau Murad. Urmeaza sa testez acum
produse de la Sisley si chiar imi doresc sa folosesc si ceva din gama lor
anti-aging. Am citit mult despre ce inseamna munca de cercetare depusa de Sisley
si chiar cred in aceasta marca…cred ca dupa o anumita varsta nu voi mai dori sa
risc, dar voi dori sa imi pastrez avantajul pe care il am acum, adica un ten
bine ingrijit si cu 10 ani mai tanar.Si pentru ca am o mare frica de chirurgia
estetica…. ca prefer sa investesc in ingrijire de zi cu zi, decat sa merg sa
apelez la bisturiu sau laser. In plus, eu cred ca mai degraba o ingrijire
treptata este buna pentru fata mea decat un tratament hocus pocus.
products that exfoliate your skin through enzymatic action; I already have such
a product by Sophyto and I shall soon try the Artistry serum. What these
products do is dissolving the dead skin cells, residuals and other impurities
on your face. I have recently tested VisaPure by Philips, a beauty gadget that
promises to cleanse your face skin in a very
healthy and professional manner; I am not yet 100% convinced by what it can do,
but I continue with the tests ( I don’t use it anymore for me, I test it inside my family)
more advanced creams that work in several directions; the products I chose are Eucerin
Volume Filler , Glykolift by Ivatherm or Murad. I am also going to test some
Sisley products and I think I would really enjoy using some of their anti-aging
products. I read a lot about the researches Sisley develop and I really trust
this brand…I believe that after a certain age I shall not take any more
chances, but I’ll still wish to preserve the advantage I have now, that is a beautiful,
healthy skin, looking and feeling 10 years younger than my age.
And as I highly
resent the plastic surgery…I’d rather invest in daily care than resign to scalpel or laser. And above all, I
truly believe that a constant care is more beneficial to my skin than a
hocus-pocus cure.
retineti:
cu apa si sapun, ci cu produse dedicate tenului si care sa va faca placere…includeti
gatul si decolteul in rutina de ingrijire a tenului, iar pielea din jurul
ochilor are nevoie doar de produse dedicate acelei zone.
dati cu apa pe fata si dupa ce mai faceti o usoara curatare. Dimineata as
recomanda doar o apa micelara la capitolul curatare;
efectul unei crème bune cu ceva din interior;
care sa va placa voua si nu prietenelor sau celorlalti.
fata, unul pentru ochi, o lotiune tonica , o crema de zi, o crema de ochi, o
crema de noapte, un ser facial, un produs pentru problemele de ten pe care le
aveti ( fie pentru cosuri, fie pentru roseata sau depigmentare)
documentati-va, v-as sfatui sa ignorati reclamele. In principiu, orice magazin
de cosmetice trebuie sa aibe produse sub forma de tester si lasati instinctul
sa functioneze daca nu aveti suficienta informatie. Eu de obicei ma feresc de
cremele care miros extraordinar de bine si de intens, da , o crema trebuie sa
miroasa placut, dar nu sa imi inlocuiasca parfumul.
cremele, la indemana, insa nu expuse la caldura. Obisnuiti-va din cand in cand
sa stergeti recipientele pe exterior cu servetele dezinfectante sau cu un
servetel stropit cu un pic de spirt sau solutie pe baza de alcool. Punem mana
de atatea ori pe un tub de crema…mai trebuie si el sters din cand in cand chiar
el arata curat.
SPF , adica factor de protectie solara.
tenul ,..luati treaba asta in serios.
might get to tell you a whole story, but keep in mind:
cleanse your skin, not just with water and soap, but with special products
dedicated to your face skin and that will make you enjoy this moment…don’t
forget the neck and the chest, and take care of the skin around your eyes by
using only products specially made for this area.
your skin immediately after having it washed and softly cleansed. I would
recommend only a micellar water for cleansing.
vegetables and fruits, support the effect of a good cream with something from
the inside.
suit YOU, the ones that YOU like, and don’t just use what your friends or other
people like…
cleanser, an eye cleanser, a tonic lotion, a day cream, en eye cream, a night
cream, a facial serum, a product for the skin problems you might have (for
pimples, for skin redness or for depigmentation).
get informed, I suggest you don’t pay much attention to commercials. Basically,
any cosmetics shop should have testers and you can even let your instinct
choose when there is not enough information. I usually avoid creams that have
an extremely strong and pleasant fragrance; yes, a cream should have a nice
fragrance, but it should not replace perfume.
where you can store all your beauty products, and make sure it is far from any
heat source. From time to time wipe the pots with some alcohol or some other
disinfecting solutions. We touch them so many times…they need to be wiped even
if they look neat.
must always have a SPF (sun protection factor).
longer can risk your skin’s health, take it seriously.
