8 best face creams after 30 years

At 30 years old, a young woman seriously begins to think about how to maintain elasticity and a fresh look of skin, because it is at this time that her beauty begins to fade. It is too early to use “heavy artillery” - anti-wrinkle cream, but the usual daily care is not enough. "Price expert" is in a hurry to reassure the ladies - there are a lot of tools that will help them to prolong the youth of the skin.

Criteria for selecting the best face creams from 30 years

Let's say at once that manufacturers are cunning a little, tying the effect of their creams to a certain age. Markings "25+", "30+", etc. - just a marketing ploy. Age (or anti-aging) cosmetics do not exist, there is only one that best meets the needs of the skin. Therefore, before buying a cream is clearly to determine what tasks it should solve.

Skin type and condition

By 30 years already need to firmly know your skin type, its features and whims. It is generally accepted division of the skin into oily, combined, normal and dry. If there is a particular sensitivity of the skin, a tendency to allergies and irritation, or, for example, the couperose mesh, when choosing a cream you must take these or other features into account. But if you do not have wrinkles, it means that you do not need a cream with anti-wrinkle markings!

The need for night care

If for young girls there is no fundamental need to use night cream, then from the age of 30 its use is very desirable. At night, the skin has the ability to intensively recover and maximize the absorption of valuable substances. Night cream differs from day cream not only in a more saturated composition, but also in the absence of a sun protection factor. Many manufacturers offer a comprehensive care: day plus night cream.

The composition of skin creams after 30 years

The main and only value of the cream lies in its effectiveness. The cream from the age of 30 should contain moisturizing, nourishing, antioxidant, sunscreen ingredients. Let's name the most relevant of them:

• panthenol and ceramides - regenerate the epidermis, improve the appearance of the skin;
• alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) - remove the layer of dead cells, cause the skin to be renewed;
• vitamins A, C, E and enzymes (including coenzyme Q10) - antioxidants that prevent skin aging;
• Sanblocks (solar filters): titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, tinosorb, mexoril - protect from the negative effects of the sun;
• glycerin - moisturizes, but in dry air can have the opposite effect - pull moisture from the skin;
• hyaluronic acid - as an additive in the cream well retains moisture in the upper layers of the epidermis;
• collagen and elastin - contribute to the preservation of skin elasticity.

For the struggle in the first wrinkles well help retinoids - derivatives of vitamin A (Retin-A, tretinoin, retil palmitat, retilaldegid and others). However, cosmetologists do not recommend using quite strong creams with retinoids daily - for skin in 30-35 years, 2 times a week before bedtime is enough.

 

Face cream manufacturers after 30 years

Recall that most of the luxury and mass cosmetics belongs to the same global corporations (L'Oreal, Estee Lauder, Beiersdorf, etc.). Of course, one cannot say that all of it is “poured from one boiler”, but often the price and packaging is the only difference between brands that are expensive and not so much. Nevertheless, skin over 30 will not forgive poor quality or erroneous care, therefore, in search of the most effective luxury cream, we recommend paying attention to the following brands: “Clinique”, “Clarins”, “Biotherm”, “Loccitane”, “Lancome”, “ Este Lauder. In their assortment, a large number of creams are presented that are specifically tailored to the needs of skin 30+.

Creams of the average price category: Lumene, Nivea, Olay, Loreal, Diademine series and others also have their own audience and attract with a relatively affordable price and a good set of effective components.Expert pricing can select products from Belarusian manufacturers (Vitex-Belita) and Russian creams (Black Pearl, Pure Line, Natura Siberika, etc.) from inexpensive but effective cosmetics.

After 30 years, pharmacy cosmetics are becoming increasingly important for skin with special needs: Vichy, Uriage, Avene, Nuxe, La Roche-Posay, Doliva, Bioderma, and the Russian Kora. Judging by the reviews, the “first-aid kit” is really effective, but the main thing here is not to overdo it: many pharmaceutical creams have quite a strong effect.
