11 cosmetic products for facial beauty that you can’t do without in the summer

It has long been no secret that face creams are an indispensable item in skin care. They control the moisture balance in the skin, preventing drying out or excessive sweating, and also nourish and saturate the skin with useful substances, which makes them virtually indispensable in the daily life of every beauty. In addition, they are simply necessary to protect the skin and should be used by representatives of different age categories, starting from twelve years old.

But even such a seemingly harmless product as face cream has its own characteristics. This is especially true for products that are used in the summer.

Any facial product may contain certain additional properties that are needed to eliminate certain negative factors and may react differently with the skin. This often depends on what time of year the product is intended for. For example, in winter, creams with protection against frostbite and chapping appear on store shelves, as well as creams that saturate the skin with vitamins, the shortage of which is felt during this cold period.

In summer, the skin is also exposed to considerable danger. Ultraviolet rays provoke accelerated aging of the epidermis; various air temperature coolers, such as air conditioners and split systems, lead to dryness and moisture imbalance in the skin. Also, dust particles in the air pose a significant danger. They clog into the pores and prevent the epidermis from breathing.

How to protect your skin during this difficult period? This is precisely why face creams were created specifically for summer. They carefully care for and protect the facial skin from stress during this difficult period, thereby preventing problematic reactions.

Moisturizing masks

This product should be in every woman's makeup bag. Cosmetologists call moisturizing masks the most effective skincare product. They will save your facial skin from dehydration, drying out and sunburn, and provide your face with a matte and velvety appearance.

The concentrate used in the mask penetrates into the deep layers of the skin, which is why it is necessary to apply the product for a time strictly defined by the developer. It is better to use masks designed for course treatment of dryness.

They should be applied 2-3 times a week for a month. Masks designed for one-time use are an emergency option. They are very convenient to take with you on a trip.

The face mask is easy to apply even at home. You don’t have to be a professional cosmetologist to follow the instructions, cover your face with a thin layer of the product, wait for the time specified by the manufacturer and rinse off the product with warm water.

Among moisturizing and nourishing masks, the incomparable leaders are:

  • Hortus Fratris nourishing mask with three oils (sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, rice oil and witch hazel water) for all skin types , costs about 1,500 rubles, sold in cosmetics stores;

Buy

  • Avene soothing, moisturizing - suitable for sensitive skin and dry facial skin, costs around 1000 rubles, sold in pharmacies and online stores of professional cosmetics;

Buy

  • Librederm Aevit nourishing - for dry facial skin, costs from 290 rubles, sold in cosmetics stores;

Buy

  • Natura Siberica Laboratoria Siberica “Instant Skin Radiance” - designed for all types of facial skin, costs from 249 rubles, can be purchased both in cosmetics stores and in chain hypermarkets in the cosmetics department.

Home Remedies Recipes

The list of recipes for masks that are simple and accessible to anyone is headed by ordinary table salt. And if you mix it with an equal share of soda, add a little honey and go to... a sauna, then the effect of such a scrub will be noticeable immediately. This proven recipe from our mothers deservedly tops the rating of homemade scrubs. The only “but”: it is only for oily skin types. Much safer are gentle summer cleansing and moisturizing masks from nature’s summer pantry. Strawberries in frozen ice cubes, the notorious masks made from fresh cucumbers, parsley root - if you are not allergic, then there are no limits to your imagination.

All products are good when it comes to beauty and health. The main thing is to love yourself and your special skin with EVO laboratoires!

Moisturizing emulsions

In summer, cosmetologists do not recommend using heavy, oily formulations to moisturize the skin. Emulsions are an ideal substitute for cream. Owners of oily and combination skin can use literally any emulsion; owners of dry skin should choose a product with a more concentrated composition.

An emulsion is a liquid that, after application, creates a conditional film on the skin, sealing and preventing moisture loss. If you look at the composition of the product, you can find an oil that is slightly soluble in water. At the same time, the emulsion does not leave marks or shine on the face.

Note! An additional advantage of emulsions is that they contain ultraviolet protection.

Application rules:

  • remove makeup and cleanse the face of oily deposits;
  • squeeze the emulsion into your palm;
  • “drive” the product into the skin using patting movements;
  • rub your hands and apply warm to your face - the heat will help the emulsion penetrate deeper into the skin.

Cosmetologists recommend using the following emulsions:

  • Zeitun Premium Masdar - sold in online stores, cost 2,200 rubles;

Buy

  • Avene Tolerance Extreme - a special formula allows the product to be used by those with hypersensitive facial skin, sold in online and offline cosmetics stores, costs 1,500 rubles.

Firming body cream Caramel Cappuccino, Organic Shop

Approximate cost : 340 rub. for 450 ml

Perhaps this is the best firming body cream in the budget segment. The Organic Shop series cream is designed to effectively restore and moisturize the skin of the body. Another plus is the attractive aroma that is associated with cappuccino with caramel syrup. The product is used quite economically, so one jar will last for several months. The disadvantages of the cream include unstable plastic packaging, but this is the case when you pay not for appearance, but for content.

Thermal water

Just a year ago, thermal water was called the main discovery of the cosmetic world. It has the same beneficial effect on facial skin as mineral water does on the body. Thermal water is taken from the depths of the earth, so it contains a lot of useful components: potassium, magnesium, nitrogen, sodium. The composition of the product triggers the processes of regeneration and protection in the skin from external adverse influences, especially in the summer. Users note: complexion becomes better, dryness and flaking disappear, and the problem of oiliness disappears.

Thermal water is available in the form of a spray. It is worth spraying the composition on the face from a distance of 30 centimeters. Eyes must be closed. Cosmetologists recommend using the product both in the morning and before bed.

You can purchase thermal water both at a cosmetics store and at a pharmacy. The most popular thermal products today are La Roche Posay and Vichy SPA. Their cost does not exceed 400 rubles.

Approximate cost : 2,000 rubles. for 270 ml

Coconut cream butter from the Russian brand Marble Lab. Comes in a cute package that you want to keep on your bedside table. The cream itself smells deliciously and unobtrusively of coconut and has a pleasant and easily absorbed texture. The product well nourishes and moisturizes the skin of the body thanks to the presence of a complex of oils: from argan to apricot. The disadvantages of the batter include its significant price, comparable to the cost of similar products from foreign brands.

Foundation Face Cream with SPF

This product will be indispensable if you are invited to a cocktail or a walk along the embankment. The burning daytime sun can melt even the most durable makeup and turn the skin of your face bright red. Sunburn on the face is the most common problem for girls in summer. A special foundation containing ultraviolet protection will help you avoid red noses.

It is necessary to select a cream according to your skin type. If you tend to be oily, oil-free formulations are suitable; if you have severe dryness of the dermis, on the contrary, the presence of a fatty component in the product is mandatory.

Attention! Cosmetologists advise choosing a product with a protection factor from 5 to 30. Such products have a light base and are more suitable for summer makeup.

The list of the most popular foundations with SPF includes Lumene CC-cream SPF 20 “Absolute Perfection” and Clarins Teint Haute Tenue+ SPF 15 . Both products are sold in online cosmetic stores and cost from 2,500 to 4,000 rubles, depending on the volume.

Cooling eye gel

The eyelids are the most vulnerable area of ​​the face. Due to the soft and delicate skin, the absence of a fat layer and sweat channels, the eyelids are primarily susceptible to the harmful effects of the sun, heat and dry winds. This is why eyelid care is an important element of summer beauty treatments.

Eyelid gels are hypoallergenic, contain a large amount of moisturizing elements, and provide a tightening effect. The products can also reduce the intensity of dark circles under the eyes and get rid of puffiness and bags.

The most popular eye gels on the market today are:

  • Lumene Lahde - cost 1000, sold in cosmetics stores and online stores;

Buy

  • Teana - price from 500 rubles, can be purchased in cosmetics stores;

Care products

Summer is the time when you need to review your “skin wardrobe”, that is, revise your facial skin care products.

In search of effective recipes and non-standard solutions, some of us will probably not fail to use pharmacy care products. Here is a list of the most popular ones:

  • hydrogen peroxide – perfectly disinfects and deodorizes;
  • bodyaga (freshwater sponge) – cleanses and whitens;
  • ointment "Levomekol" - the drug is active against various microorganisms;
  • zinc ointment – ​​antiseptic;

The main purpose of these drugs is to get rid of the problem, that is, to treat, and not to prevent the occurrence of the disease. And although it won’t be difficult to buy almost all of them at a pharmacy without a prescription, they all contain quite aggressive “chemicals”, so it’s worth consulting at least with a therapist.

A quantum leap in pharmaceutical skin care cosmetics is the universal cream Panthenol EVO. This cream is cosmeceutical. It contains an optimal amount of D-panthenol, which is the most important link in maintaining the normal functioning of the skin. This cream is hypoallergenic and can be safely used to care for the special skin of adults and even babies from 6 months.

Aloe emulsion or gel

Aloe gel can be a lifesaver in the summer. This universal remedy can both moisturize the skin and help it quickly heal from sunburn. These properties of the product allow the traveler to take just one bottle of the product on vacation and feel confident in any weather conditions.

The product can be used in several ways, but dermatologists advise applying the gel to damaged or dehydrated facial skin as a mask. After 20 minutes, rub the remaining product into the skin.

According to user reviews and expert opinion, the most effective tools in this group are:

  • Holika Aloe Soothing Emulsion 90% (660 rubles);

Buy

  • The Skin House Emulsion with aloe vera juice 90% and snail extract (2290 rubles);

Buy

  • Gel It'S SKIN (900 rubles).

Products from these brands can be found in online stores and in specialized cosmetics departments at offline retail outlets.

Which cream to choose for different skin types

Summer is hard on any skin. Care must be complete and mandatory. There are some nuances.

Skin types and choice of cream

  1. Oily skin. Various negative factors cause the skin to react differently. At high temperatures, the sebaceous glands begin to work actively, and an oily sheen appears. In this case, summer cream should slightly dry out the skin, but not overdo it. When indoor air is dry, using air conditioning, oily skin can dry out. Then the task of the cream is to moisturize the skin, but in such a way that it does not lead to an oily sheen.
  2. Normal skin. Does not require intense effort. Care involves careful


    cleansing the skin and lightly moisturizing it. The cream should be light, almost like a gel. It is recommended to apply it in the evening before bed.

  3. Dry dermis. Under the influence of negative factors, dehydration occurs. The skin peels, turns red, and a feeling of tightness appears. You will have to use moisturizer twice a day. You should not use the cosmetic product too often, so that the skin cells do not stop fighting this problem on their own. The epidermis just needs help. A dose of cream before bed and in the morning will be enough.
  4. Problematic skin with rashes. The cream must contain anti-inflammatory and antibacterial components. Along with thoroughly cleansing the face, it is necessary to lightly moisturize the skin before going to bed.

Mattifying facial wipes

In summer, the appearance of oily shine on the face cannot be avoided. Mattifying wipes will help you quickly tidy up your T-zone. They are convenient to use - they do not take up much space, they can be used outdoors, in public restrooms - there are no restrictions here.

Napkins usually consist of rice paper soaked in a solution containing polymer particles. The composition of the product allows you to cleanse the skin of sebum, free pores from impurities, remove sweat and dust, without damaging makeup.

Attention! Cosmetologists do not recommend rubbing your face with napkins. Proper use of the product involves applying wipes to the face in oily areas. It is important not to use the same napkin twice - this cosmetic product is disposable.

Matting wipes can be purchased for either 4 thousand rubles or 10 rubles. Experts advise when choosing to pay attention to the following products:

  • GINZA CLASSIC (419 rubles);

Buy

  • The Face Shop Beauty Tools (350 rubles);

Buy

  • Kai (496 rubles).

Body cream Care Plus Avocado, The Saem

Approximate cost : 580 rub. for 300 ml

Another option that deserves attention. This is a nourishing Korean body cream with avocado and soybean oils that will easily save even the driest, dullest and damaged skin.

The composition of the product is enhanced with natural ingredients: wheat germ protein, chamomile extract and honey. With regular use, the skin of the body acquires a healthy glow and well-groomed appearance.

Lip balm with SPF

The best lip care product for summer weather. A balm with ultraviolet protection will not only fulfill its main function - protect the skin of your lips from burns, but also maintain optimal hydration throughout the day.

Such balms work in a similar way to other sunscreens, absorbing or reflecting harmful rays. You should definitely apply the balm before leaving the house, and also renew the coating throughout the day. That is, the remedy should always be at hand.

The ranking of the best balms includes products with various pigments. This lip balm is indistinguishable from regular lipstick, for example, Kiehl’s Butterstick Lip Treatment . The manufacturer claims that the product contains coconut oil and lemon oil. The cost of the product is 1500 rubles.

Nordic Hydra Oxygenating Day Fluid SPF 30, Lumene


Lumene scientists have combined Arctic spring water, birch sap, an oxygen charge (don’t ask what it is, just believe in the miraculous power of this component) and added a “pinch” of UV filters to protect the skin from the negative effects of the sun. This is how the Nordic Hydra Oxygenating Day Fluid was born, which has a long-lasting moisturizing effect, and it also smoothes out the first wrinkles and evens out the skin texture.

Facial scrub

Facial scrubs, selected specifically for the summer, can not only remove dead skin, but also moisturize the face, which is very important in dry weather conditions.

Summer facial scrubs should contain light oils, so peeling will be more gentle.

Cosmetologists advise not to use scrubs with large particles in the summer - the skin of the face should not be injured. For the same reason, you should not rub the scrub into your skin. A few circular movements of your hands over the scrubbed face are enough.

Many girls make their own scrubs for the summer. The following products are as easy and safe as homemade ones:

  • Natura Siberica Natural&Organic (270 rubles);

Buy

  • La Roche-Posay Physiological Cleansers (from 1400 rubles);

Buy

  • Mi&Ko (500 rubles).

These products can be purchased both online and in cosmetics stores.

Minimize the use of decorative cosmetics

If you use the same cosmetics in summer as in winter, then you can say goodbye to the feeling of comfort. In addition, such makeup is unlikely to withstand hot weather. In summer, you should replace winter cosmetics with a dense texture with a lighter one that allows the skin to “breathe.” If you can’t live without makeup, then here are some tips on how to make it lighter:

  1. Replace rich foundation with oil serum.
  2. Replace thick foundation with a light BB cream.
  3. Choose waterproof products so that they do not “melt” on the skin.
  4. Try not to use powder so as not to clog your pores. Instead, you can fix your makeup with a fixative spray. In addition, it will also moisturize the skin.

Cooling spray

This product is able to normalize skin temperature, save it from overheating and dehydration. It is recommended to use it both outdoors and in stuffy rooms.

Thanks to the short-term cooling effect, the blood vessels first narrow and then expand, which leads to a natural blush on the face. Pores become smaller and the skin becomes firmer.

The product should be sprayed at a distance of 20–30 centimeters from the face.

Products of different price categories, recommended by experts:

  • Black Pearl Dream Cream facial care spray (250 rubles for 90 ml);

Buy

  • Sport Addicted Refreshing Mist Face And Body (830 rubles for 150 ml);

Buy

  • Caudalie Grape water spray Cleanser & Toners (1000 rubles for 200 ml).

Buy

You can purchase products at online cosmetic stores.

Pigmentation and additional skin care

Under the influence of the sun, the face may become covered with freckles and age spots. This problem is widespread during this season and is associated with excess melanin production. Peeling is not used during this period, you need to wait until the fall, but here is a special program that comes in handy:

• Use products with good protection (SPF 30 or 50).

• Avoiding the use of alcohol-containing products.

• Consuming sufficient amounts of ascorbic acid.

• Important rule! Under no circumstances should you squeeze out pimples on your face.

• If possible, do not stay in the open sun for long periods of time.

• Wearing sunglasses and hats.

Currently, organic summer face cream is incredibly popular. But you should not blindly follow the lead of advertising. It may also happen that, in addition to natural ingredients, it may contain various additives. Don’t be shy about asking the seller for a certificate for this product.

Cooling eye patches

The area under the eyes is most susceptible to age-related changes; monitoring its condition is the daily task of women who take care of themselves and want to prolong their youth. Not only skincare cosmetics, but also special patches will save the area under your eyes from drying out in the summer.

After a couple of hours on the beach or by the pool under the scorching sun, you should definitely apply patches with a cooling effect. The product is easy to use - just open the package and place the soaked pads on the area under the eyes.

In 15 minutes, the composition will penetrate deep into the skin, restore water balance, and provide nutrition.

Cosmetologists recommend the following products from this line:

  • Petitfee (890 rubles);

Buy

  • Koelf (900 rubles);

Buy

  • Beauugreen (from 900 to 2500 rubles).

Buy

Patches are sold both in beauty salons and specialized stores, as well as in hypermarkets and online platforms.

Prohibited materials

What shouldn't be in your summer cream.

  1. Vitamin A (retinol, beta-carotene). In large doses it causes or enhances pigmentation.
  2. Fruit acids (AHA-acids). In a volume exceeding 10%, the formation of age spots is activated.
  3. Petroleum products (vaseline, wax, paraffin, petrolatum). Mineral oils clog pores and prevent the skin from breathing.
  4. Parabens, formaldehyde releasers, benzoic acid. Preservatives that can cause allergic dermatitis.
  5. Esters (substances with the postfix ethanol), alcohol (methyl) and urea (urea). Dry out the skin.
