Face cream from 20 years old: how to choose the right product?

Some may think that cream at a young age is an optional attribute of self-care. But this is a mistaken opinion. The sooner you start monitoring the condition of your skin, the fewer problems you will have in adulthood. A daily ritual forms the right habits to maintain beauty.

In cosmetology, young skin is considered to be over 20 years of age. The peculiarity of creams for this age group is that there is no need for special anti-aging care. The main need is sufficient hydration and protection from negative environmental influences. Girls often need help eliminating small imperfections, such as blackheads, enlarged pores, and excess oil.

It is important to understand that all procedures require regularity. There is no magic jar that gets rid of problems in one go. Constant care will help the cells stay youthful longer.

The modern rhythm of life implies an integrated approach. For this reason, the article contains two ratings of the best creams for day and night use. Products are reviewed from a good budget option to the most expensive. The opinions of cosmetologists and consumer reviews were taken into account.

The benefits of cream for young skin

Every girl should take care of her skin in three stages. This is cleansing, moisturizing and protection.

It is important to cleanse in the morning and evening, even if you have been at home all day. To do this, you can use foams and lotions for washing. They remove excess dirt, sebum and settled dust from the face. If there is makeup, it is first removed with micellar water, and only then cleansing is carried out. The best care product at this stage is natural hydrophilic oil.

Moisturizing is also necessary in the morning and before bed. It is necessary regardless of the season. Timely moisturizing prevents the appearance of acne and facial wrinkles. With a lack of moisture, the dermis will “protect itself” on its own, which will lead to rapid aging. This will also affect the complexion - over time, it will fade and yellowness and pallor will appear.

The main purpose of protection is to prevent exposure to UV rays. They dehydrate the dermis, making it dry and lifeless. Therefore, products with UV protection must be used even in winter, starting from the age of 18.

In order not to make a mistake with your choice, it is important to consider a few more nuances:

• The cream must be certified;
• The shelf life of the product must be taken into account;
• Choose a product based on your skin type;
• The composition must not contain alcohol.
