 How to pick up a cream effective? There is nothing easier - prepare yourself!
Now the shelves of specialty stores and pharmacies are full of an abundance of jars, tubes, boxes filled with drugs with very different properties. It seems that there is nothing easier to type the whole package colorfully decorated bottles, place the home in the bathroom and think that the battle is won for beautiful skin.
But who knows what really lies behind the stylish packaging and advertising media? Quality components? Or cheap oil derivatives, which can harm the beauty and health? You can scrutinize creams, contact the manufacturer to clarify any details and, finally, by trial and error to choose the right high-quality safe products. And as the natural raw materials more expensive synthetic and, therefore, the substance and the finished quality is quite expensive, making its acquisition during the crisis problematic.
But there is a cheaper way to get quality cosmetics - to prepare herself in the kitchen! All the ingredients can be bought in drug stores and grocery stores. Yeah, maybe someone will say that it is difficult and not worth the trouble, but personally cooked cream is 100% natural and the amount spent on its creation, will be much smaller than the one requesting the leaders of the cosmetic industry.
Industrial approach
All of the "factory" cream consist of two main parts -
fat phase and aqueous
. But to achieve their mixing impossible: being in a single vessel, divided into two parts, the boundary between them can be clearly seen. To achieve a smooth consistency, so-called mediators -
emulsifiers
.
From what part of the fat or aqueous longer affects the appearance and properties of the cream:
1.
The oil in water (O / W) supplies the skin with moisture and is well absorbed, so this emulsion is recommended for day and night creams.
2.
Water-in-oil (W / O) for preparing cream for dry skin and dehydrated.
Tip!
If, after prolonged storage, the two parts of cream were separated again, this does not mean that the cream is deteriorated. Just shake and stir again. The cream should recapture its former consistency.
