The million dollar question: is it necessary to spend a lot of money on a cream to take effect or is a supermarket cream enough to take care of the skin? Rivers of ink have flowed on this issue and, to be honest, anything goes. With nuances, of course. The first thing we have to keep in mind is that the best skin care routine goes beyond the products we use, let me explain. The first and foremost thing is to do it correctly. It is useless to use a cream of many euros if we have not cleaned our skin properly and it is not penetrating through the pore. The second, and not least, is to be constant.
A facial routine is a daily and daily job in the morning and at night plus extra care throughout the day. It seems tedious but nothing is further from the truth, when you create the habit, it is sewing and singing. The skin has different needs in the morning and at night . Basically in the morning we protect and hydrate and at night we restore and regenerate. Throughout the day we must rehydrate and protect from the sun, pollution, blue light … Finally, we must use the products that our skin type and age need. Hyaluronic acid, antioxidants such as vitamin C, retinols for each problem … Types of textures for oily or dry skin … If we want to treat or just hydrate … It's a world!
Taking all this into account, we ask ourselves the same thing again: is it necessary to invest in very expensive cosmetics for them to work? When they ask me this question I always answer the same thing. The basic thing is to clean and hydrate it, but logically and investing in specific products with proven efficacy and with more powerful and innovative formulas guarantee us a more beautiful, firmer or more luminous skin. Behind a bottle of cream, serum or eye contour is research and development support that you have to pay for. In addition, products with a lot of active ingredient and that manage to treat the skin in deeper layers should be applied with very little amount, so we can invest in a cosmetic that can easily last a year.
We have compiled 11 cosmetic products that are not cheap but that add many positive comments and that are endorsed by beauty experts in case you want to update your toiletry bag without risks. And let's never forget something, a correct facial routine is beauty but, above all, it is health.
