What professional cosmetics are good? Wish Radiance Christina rejuvenating from Israel. Is the choice of professional cosmetics justified?

IN Lately professional cosmetics are becoming more and more in demand, despite quite high prices. This is explained by her good quality, long lasting effect and a wide selection of various means.

Where can I buy it? What are the main differences between these products and conventional cosmetics? What brands does it represent? A lot of questions have accumulated, and the time has come to sort them out in order to keep up with the trends of the times.

Peculiarities

In terms of their effectiveness, professional cosmetics for facial skin are at a high level and can only compete with pharmaceutical () products. It not only masks defects, but also treats them. Created specifically for beauty studios, salons, beauty salons and medical centers. It is prescribed by dermatologists and cosmetologists to their patients.

Taking all this into account, it is subject to more exaggerated requirements than conventional cosmetics:

within each professional series, at least 100 types of products intended for skin care must be presented;
the entire range of products should be divided according to skin types and their problems;
cosmetics must take into account even climatic conditions;
All products must undergo clinical trials, quality control and ultimately receive a certificate.

As a rule, prices are quite high; inexpensive professional facial cosmetics are a rarity on the market. This is explained by the fact that the creation of unique formulas long time Scientists work in laboratories using the highest quality raw materials. Such resource and labor costs cannot be cheap. This must be taken into account when choosing this type of product.

Advantage professional cosmetics is the presence large quantity series that are designed to solve specific skin problems. This makes the choice much easier.

This is interesting! A team of such narrow specialists as dermatologists, cosmetologists, doctors, allergists, biologists, pharmacists, chemists, and technologists is working on the development and creation of professional facial cosmetics.

Many people have problems with Russian cosmetics: I still have a strong belief that affordable cosmetics are always worse than expensive ones, and domestically produced goods are often inferior in quality to imported ones (according to at least, so we used to think). We think that Russian brands also deserve attention, so we chose 45 proven products with which it’s not scary to start getting acquainted with them.

Masha Vorslav

Teana

Art-Visage

Art-Visage is one of the most famous Russian brands decorative cosmetics, which, perhaps, can be forgiven for being shamelessly copied from Giorgio Armani logo (or not). Its main feature is the production of custom-made cosmetics: if you have been looking for green lip gloss, yellow lipstick or shadows of a special shade for a long time, you can contact the Art-Visage laboratory and get what you are looking for for 400–450 rubles. The brand is also in complete order with ready-made products: the online store has everything for the most difficult makeup.

Kleona

Like many others Russian manufacturers, Kleona focuses on naturalness and avoids synthetic components (if they do end up in a particular jar, there is a warning about this on the jar). Representatives of the brand are not lazy to talk with customers and periodically explain the properties of parabens and talk about quality essential oils and tell why they don’t test products on animals. The assortment mostly consists of simple and not very cleansing products and inexpensive creams for different skin types.

Natura Siberica

Shampoos, masks and creams Natura Siberica They are sold at every turn not only in Russia, but also abroad (the brand is perhaps more popular there). What’s nice is that the company doesn’t stand still and constantly releases new products and entire lines that go with a bang, and even opens spa centers. By the way, not so long ago she launched the production of decorative cosmetics - organic mascaras, lipsticks and eye shadows arrived on the shelf.

GreenLab

Another young and promising brand that strives to cover everything at once. GreenLab currently has five tentacles, that is, divisions: Dr. Kozhevatkin - to solve specific problems such as dehydration and loss of skin tone; GreenLab Little produces oils, foams, shampoos and powders for children; GreenLabOrg, as you might guess - organic cosmetics, and HEADDRESS - means for basic care hair care and treatment. The fifth specialization is quite unexpected: Healing Derm is a complex of skin care products for bedridden patients.

What to buy:

HEADDRESS “Nutrition and Moisturizing” hair growth concentrate serum that works on two fronts; HEADDRESS hair growth mask; children's cream-foam with panthenol GreenLab Little, which is suitable not only for children, but also for adult sensitive skin.

"Bark"

“Cora” is doing well: just a couple of years ago, those who knew about this inexpensive and extremely effective domestic brand could search for some kind of mask with acids during the day, but now “Cora” is sold in almost every pharmacy and large supermarket. The company explains the effectiveness of its products by adherence to the established principles: a high content of plant extracts, the use of mineral components, essential oils and the choice of a fatty base for most products.

Organic Shop

Elegant packaging and dangerously appetizing fragrances are, perhaps, the quintessence of Organic Shop. The brand has a lot of body products: creams, butters, scrubs, mousses and more. It's not impossible for one person to try them, but it's probably not necessary - unless you're ready to donate half your bathroom to banks. On the other hand, if you are one of those who are too lazy to apply body cream all the time, Organic Shop products may be just right - the smell and overall cheerful appearance are tempting to open the jars several times a day.

"Clean line"

It’s awkward to even talk about this company, but you can’t do without it. We all remember about shampoos that “80% consist of a decoction of medicinal herbs,” but “ Clean line" has stepped forward a long time ago. The brand still has basic products like scrubs, face gels and the same shampoos, but more timely ones have appeared, for example the same BB cream (which is used as an example even by the extremely successful Garnier).

"Grandmother Agafya's Recipes"

At some point, things got so good for the brand that it split into several Agathias; For convenience, we have combined everything into one point. The brand has many successful products, and it does not stall and is slowly exploring new horizons (for example, it recently launched the production of excellent toothpastes). It also doesn’t ignore the heartfelt bath theme, but plays it up with dignity: it doesn’t just release the fifth version of the successful soft soap, but sorts familiar products into convenient single-serve packages.

"Taiga herbalist"

If possible all Russian cosmetics divided into types, one of the most striking will be the bath brand. On the one hand, there can never be too much soap and scrubs, but on the other hand, identical bars and bottles with the same scents and almost the same presentation evoke mortal melancholy. It’s all the more interesting to get acquainted with companies that manage to stand out even in this niche. “Taiga Herbalist” seems to do everything the same as the others, but competently balances its Russianness with really interesting means.

Planeta Organica

The moderately positive and extremely open brand Planeta Organica, it seems, does not hide anything from customers: it tells everything about the main ingredients, reveals the basic values of the company and even describes the details of expeditions for raw materials. Such activity has a positive effect on products: such a choice natural oils and products based on them are offered only by Natura Siberica, but Planeta Organica, even with such a powerful competitor, remains recognizable.

"Black Pearl"

“Black Pearl” is successfully rejuvenating and is no longer perceived as cosmetics only for mature skin. This was facilitated by the choice of new brand ambassadors (a recent new product is represented, for example, by Liza Boyarskaya), and the reversal of the assortment towards the modern buyer who wants an excellent foundation, moisturizer, cleansing oil (and good lotion It wouldn't hurt for his body either).

Organic Therapy

Cute Organic Therapy tubes are the work of the First Resolution company, which has dozens of recognizable Russian brands (it all started in 2002 with Grandmother Agafya’s Recipes). There are no complaints about the newcomer, except that the brand is heavily capitalizing on the consumer’s interest in everything natural: Organic Therapy products cannot be called organic (there is no approval from a certifying organization), but write cherished word on the package, if at least one ingredient meets the requirements, you can. Be that as it may, Organic Therapy offers simple solutions daily tasks at reasonable prices and looks nice.

Another rare one decorative stamp. Overall it gives the impression teenage cosmetics, but who said it was bad. It makes sense to use stands with Eva Mosaic when you need simple, understandable things like regular mascara for eyelashes or a pencil for new lipstick. At the same time, if you have long wanted to try something strange by your own standards, but did not want to spend money, rummaging around among the Eva Mosaic bottles will not be worthwhile.

We have: 34 years old, nervous work, Small child, unexpectedly appeared wrinkles (and quite a few) around the eyes, facial wrinkles on the forehead, and most importantly, the oval of the face loses its clarity (no one has canceled gravity). Creams and masks are less and less effective every year. I turn to professionals for help - to salons and clinics.
I have been interested in professional cosmetics for a long time, I love exhibitions. A friend is a good cosmetologist, she wanders around salons and I follow her, at the same time I’ve seen enough of different lines, and most importantly - approaches to clients.
There are positive and negative experiences and some advice. If the topic turns out to be interesting, I will continue it in future posts.
I’ll start with an approximate classification of professional procedures (may cosmetologists forgive me):
1. Care
2. Active with skin damage
3. Hardware

Care– use masks, ampoules, serums, etc.

Stamps: Premium (the only Russian one, so I put it in 1st place), Guinot, Academie, Babor, Decleor, Christina, Janssen, Holy Land, Algotherm, etc.

Key factors for the effectiveness of the care procedure:
1. Correct diagnosis and purpose
2. High concentrations of ingredients
3. Proper massage(or better yet, more than one)
4. A cosmetologist with head and hands to provide all of the above

What procedures have I tried (in order not to spoil the words, I’ll go over it briefly; if there’s any interest, I’ll include a detailed description of them in a separate post):

2008: course of procedures (4 pieces) Academie anti-rosacea against redness. I did it in the spring. The procedure is extremely pleasant, cooling and refreshing due to the hydro-gel film that is placed on the skin after the massage. After using it, the skin became denser, saturated with moisture and very comfortable. Result: the network of blood vessels on the face became less noticeable only during the course, but until November-December I forgot what red spots, peeling and irritation were (my skin is very sensitive). The course with a 10% discount cost 6,000 rubles.

Then I bought a mask for home sensitive skin with linden. Oooh, very nice mask. This was my lifesaver: if I cry, I’ll get upset - my face will immediately get terrible spots, so I’ll apply it for 15 minutes - and it’s fresh and cheerful. An excellent mask, moisturizing and soothing.

2008 – autumn: peeling Christina Rose de mer. My cosmetologist recommended its soft version. Nevertheless, the sensations were extremely uncomfortable - tingling, my face was burning. They were saved by a post-peeling mask and a special foundation to disguise the redness - all this is part of the procedure. BUT. The skin has noticeably refreshed, become silky smooth, and the pores have shrunk. In general, there is something to endure. Did it 1 time. I paid 1800 rubles. I listened to compliments for about a month. Then I put Botox (see below).

2010 spring – was a model at Global anti-aging treatment Academie(I tried to write a post about this, but somehow it didn’t work out). It was a culture shock for me. First of all, there were 3! Massage during one procedure (two on the face and one on the décolleté). Secondly, during the procedure, plaster splints are applied to the face and “stretched”, which then harden as a frame and actually tighten the skin. I’m already starting to see “jowls”, but they weren’t noticeable at all after the procedure. The skin has become denser and harder or something. The effect lasted only a week. But you need to take the course. I'm waiting for the procedure to appear in Russia. I don’t write the price, because... they take the model for free. Beauties over 35 – highly recommend.

Further Active procedures that damage the skin: these are concentrated acid peels– above 15% and injections (Botox, lip contouring)

I don’t know many brands: Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Teosial.

Tried:
2007,2008 – botox. I put it on the forehead and crow's feet. I won’t tell you about the number of units, I don’t remember anymore, but I’ll go and put it again soon and I’ll write (I missed almost 2 years - I carried and fed the baby))
So, for the first time they put it on trial, she asked me to take a closer look. It turned out great: the forehead was smoothed out, the crease between the eyebrows almost disappeared. The effect completely disappeared after 5 months. So I decided to repeat it. Only this time it’s stronger, “to the fullest.” The zones are the same. It turned out to be too much. Everyone noticed that his facial expressions had changed a lot. Every 2 friends mysteriously asked “Botox?” In general, I could barely wait until a month passed and the effect became softer. Strangely enough, he lasted the same 5 months.

Finally, >Hardware cosmetology.
These are procedures using equipment (electrical, radio, photo, cryo-technology)

I don’t write stamps, because the main thing here is not cosmetic product, and the apparatus.

I tried microcurrents on my face at the exhibition and didn’t understand the effect at all.
In addition, I tried photoepilation. Hurt. But effective. All the hair fell out (armpits and mustache). Then after 5 weeks they grew, but not all of them, 60 percent. It was necessary to repeat every 2 months, but I didn’t continue because of pregnancy.

I'm going to go to a figure correction course: ultrasound + vacuum massage. Has anyone done it? Effective?

Well, that's all for now. I hope it's not too confusing. I will be glad if this information was useful.
PS I skimmed the text and realized that I didn’t write the main thing: the pleasure of a good facial procedure with a massage is a special thing. You get up rested, as if after a full sleep, although you only spend a little over an hour.

I wish you beauty and pleasure!

Professional cosmetologists often agree that the best face cream is the one that can solve all the problems facing it. At first glance, everything is very simple: you just need to choose cosmetics that suit your age, decide on its purpose and take into account your skin type. In fact, many women are faced with a situation where an expensive, advertised face cream turns out to be ineffective. We’ll try to figure it all out and tell you what the best professional facial cosmetics are (rating).

All women know that there are five skin types:

dry;
fatty;
mixed;
combined;
normal.

At the same time, some people tend to buy universal cosmetics. This is where problems sometimes begin, since a cream suitable for all skin types is the same myth as one coloring cream for shoes of any color. It doesn't exist, and that's true.

The skin on each area of the face may be different, so it requires different care. One common option is the following:

oily skin on the forehead and chin area;
dry on one cheek;
on the second it is normal;
combined on the nose.

In some areas the dermis may be susceptible to age and photoaging, while other areas may be vulnerable to the appearance of age spots. Even the best and most expensive face cream cannot cope with all the tasks facing it at once.

For this reason, if you come across a cream in a store that says “for all skin types” on the packaging, feel free to return the tube to its place and look for another option. If you need best cream for the skin, and you don’t fall for the tricks of marketers, remember this important rule.

Another important point is that when choosing a face cream, you should always take into account the cost of cosmetics.

The role of price

All facial cosmetics today are divided into several categories, from cheap and not very high quality to professional, which has an effect at a therapeutic level. Many factors influence which niche a particular face cream will occupy. Among the main ones are the following:

production method;
ingredients used;
cost of finished products.

Let's figure out which one is the best best cosmetics for face.

Mass market - cheap and unsafe

This class of cosmetics speaks for itself. These popular and affordable products are produced in large quantities. All profits from the sale of funds are distributed as follows:

70% goes to advertising and marketing;
20% is spent on bright packaging;
10% is spent on cream production.

Of course, with such a distribution of funds, it is not possible to draw the best conclusion about the quality of the finished product.

Creams from the Mass market category contain almost no natural natural ingredients and are created from synthetic ingredients. In addition, these face creams may not only fail to produce an effect, but even damage the skin, causing various pathologies:

ulcers and swelling;
dermatitis of various types;
hypo- and hyperpigmentation;
digrising and cheilitis;
excessive sebum secretion;
dehydration, etc.

Middle market – affordable price, but insufficient efficiency

This category includes middle-class cosmetics. The products are of higher quality compared to the previous category and contain 30-60 percent natural ingredients. These creams have a completely non-toxic composition, and the preservatives used are mainly created from plant materials that are subjected to chemical processing.

Cosmetics are more expensive, but allow you to care for your skin at a maintenance level. At the same time, creams from the Middle market category have some features. For example, they cannot be used for more than six months, so as not to develop addiction.

In the production of Lux creams, interactive enzymes are used innovative technologies, which provide the opportunity effective solution many aesthetic problems. In addition, cosmetics are not addictive, and if you stop using them, your skin will remain in good condition for a long time.

In addition, Lux cosmetics are hypoallergenic and undergo strict quality control at the production stages. The next category of creams is Professional. It is intended for use in salons by experienced professionals and contains impact zones of pharmaceutical components that have instant effect on the skin.

All girls strive to look beautiful and attractive. There is nothing wrong with this desire, because it is not for nothing that they say that beauty can save the world, and women try to do everything to become the embodiment of such beauty.

As part of a special Prix d’Excellence de la Beaute ceremony, the 10 best cosmetic products received awards:

Platineum Lancome Cream that adds elasticity to aging skin (L’Oreal).

By country of origin

French. There are a lot of brands here: L’Oreal, Garnier, Maybelline, Bourjois, Yves Rocher, Christian Dior, Lancome and others. Some of these brands are budget, some are aimed at wealthy fans. Cosmetics vary greatly in price, this is explained by their focus on the widest possible buyer. Mostly effective and high-quality products.

Israeli. Israelis have been worthy of establishing themselves in the beauty market for several years now. The most popular Israeli cosmetic brands: Ahava, Holy Land, Dead Sea Premier, Mineral Beauty System and Sea of SPA. The “foundation” of these funds is Newest technologies, minerals and salts of the Dead Sea. In the line, it is worth paying attention to anti-aging products.

Japanese. The Japanese are conquering the market with hand care products, hair care products and decorative cosmetics - blush, foundation creams and powders, eye shadow palettes. In a word, if you are looking for decorative products, go to the Japanese.

Korean. The popularity of funds from the Southeast Asian region is gaining momentum. Naturalness and environmental friendliness are on their side. The most popular brands among Russians are the most popular Korean brands of decorative cosmetics: Etude House, TonyMoly, Innisfree, Missha.

Of course, in the desire to be beautiful, you also need to know when to stop, otherwise you can harm your health. But modern variety all sorts of means that allow you to get at least a little closer to external perfection, helps the weaker sex, without much damage to yourself, improve some aspects of your figure, face, hair condition, etc. Although it can be very difficult to figure out which of these remedies are good and which are not. To do this, many independent companies and publishing houses create best cosmetics in the world rating. Of course, there are many such ratings, but the difference in them is insignificant.

The first place in the list of the best cosmetic companies in the world, as a rule, is the French company for the production of cosmetics and perfumes L’Oreal. This manufacturer is distinguished by the fact that it has about forty large cosmetic factories and such well-known cosmetic brands like L'Oreal Paris, Garnier, Maybelline, Vichy and many others. Since 1909, this cosmetics company has been quite successfully staying afloat and has established itself as a brand for the successful and beautiful.

In the second position of the best cosmetics in the world ranking is the cosmetic company Etude. The South Korean manufacturer produces products for every taste and is distinguished by the fact that Etude managed to combine good quality, a very reasonable price and a varied selection in its products, which is why girls all over the world love this company.

The next step is reserved for the Revlon cosmetics brand, which today is positioned as professional cosmetics. This company has a rich and long history, but Revlon gained the main popularity thanks to its bright and juicy lipsticks.

Further in our rating you can find the American company Avon, popular in wide circles. Thanks to its extensive marketing campaign and distribution based on direct sales, Avon is one of the most profitable cosmetic brands, and Avon cosmetics have spread almost throughout the entire globe. A huge number of women choose products from this manufacturer different ages, nationalities, social statuses and this is not without reason, because the products are of good quality, interesting design and a very affordable price.

Well, the fifth position in the list of the best cosmetics in the world is occupied by American cosmetics from the manufacturer Cover Girl. This cosmetics company became known in many countries thanks to very good and expensive advertising, in which world stars of the modeling business were involved.

One way or another, from the name on the packaging of your cosmetic product Not everything depends. When choosing cosmetics, you must, first of all, pay attention to whether this particular product is right for you, how your skin reacts to it, and whether you have any discomfort when using it.
