Cosmetic Ingredients are too complex to know better if you know some basic categories.
Anti-Aging
When you finish the word, you have gone to death for another three seconds. I am sorry to mention this bad news, but the fact is that each of us is aging all the time, and the skin care products that rejuvenate in an instant are only in the blueprint of biologists. Still, there are things that will surely accelerate our aging: smoking, exposure, stress, overeating, sedentary lifestyles, drug abuse, bad genetics.
Therefore, please stop smoking, use sunscreen, relax, control your diet, leave your chair, control the use of medicines, and if possible, choose a better parent. Of course, it is also very important to establish a “active pre-aging” concept of maintenance. Aging is irreversible, but good anti-aging products can help you look younger than you actually are.
AHA's AHA
It is well known that a hydroxy acid, namely fruit acid, is a good exfoliating product. It penetrates the stratum corneum of the skin, triggers a texture reaction, and strips old dead keratinocytes. Then you can surprise yourself to discover a new look. The most prestigious fruit acid is glycolic acid. If you see a list of ingredients for Salicylic Acid in a can of product label, this is a beta hydroxy acid for a problematic skin such as acne, if not necessary, it is better to stay away.
Antioxidants Antioxidants
The theory of how free radicals damage the skin is full of enthusiasm. Free radicals are atomic groups that contain an unpaired electron. When free radicals are flooding, they cause oxidation and endanger the safety of cell membranes and interstitial cells. Antioxidants include vitamins A, C, E and their derivatives: Lycopene , Beta carotene and selenium. Green tea has also been seen as a strong antioxidant.
In our imagination, these antioxidants will bring the evil free radicals to justice and send them to the concentration camp. Dr. Brandt's Vitamin C Brightening Serum is used in the moisturizer to help the skin glow. A acid, A aldehyde and other Vitamin A components are derived from vitamin A. If you see the ingredient "tocopherol" on the label, it's just that the Vitamin E is covered with a theoretical beauty.
Base primer
In the age of grandmother, base is the foundation. In our time, "the base" is the English vocabulary of the Arabic word Al Qaeda. I bet you don't want to apply al Qaeda thickly to your cheeks. This is a product that adjusts skin tone: not only the base of the base is but also the primer before makeup. Wait a moment, isn't this the same thing? Isn't these two names representing the same function? Shao Anzhen, I will continue to read it and know it.
Caffeine Caffeine; Green Tea Green Tea
Stimulants can also evoke skin vitality! Scientific evidence is still insufficient, it is said that skin food is more appropriate, but the rumor is that the caffeine in skin care products is equivalent to a cup of fragrant coffee for you. Made by the brain. Nuxe produces a bottle of caffeine-containing skin cream.
Roc adds caffeine to its daily moisturizer. Green tea is said to slow photoaging (daylight damage) and provide antioxidant protection. The Latin name for green tea is camellia sinensis. From Elizabeth arden to the UK-based medical beauty brand Zelens, there are products with green tea formulations.
Cyclopentasiloxane polyoxosiloxane
This is a silicone ingredient that brightens the shine, leaving the skin feeling smooth and silky, and virtually all beauty products contain this ingredient more or less, because if it does not contain the right amount of mites Ingredients, the force you need to push the cream on your face is probably enough to give you two or three fine lines.
Fixer Makeup Agent
It fixes your makeup with a spray. In the past, loose powder was used, but now liquids can do the same. MAC has a good makeup spray that also strengthens your makeup. A little secret: anything you spray on your face can temporarily shrink your pores. Bring a green tea bag, soak a cup of green tea, drink half, and the rest can be poured into a mini spray bottle for a whole day.
peptide peptide
Peptides are short-chain forms of Amino Acids that deliver accurate cell signals in any environment, whether in green tea or vitamin E. Peptides can penetrate deep into the skin, precisely hitting cell elements, such as collagen-producing cells, and rejuvenating them! Sometimes you will see the pentapeptide on the label, which means five peptides. More than ten linked amino acids are obviously called peptides; when the number is large enough, it is protein. A peptide chain called the pentapeptide is called Matrixyl. StriVectin uses the name Matrixyl.
Another artificial peptide called hexapeptide also has a commercial name called Argireline botulinum toxin, which is quite a bit muddy with new botulinum toxin. Neutrogena's skin rejuvenation series uses the ingredients of copper peptides. Copper is a trace element contained in every cell. As most skin care studies have found, copper peptides can be used to heal wounds.
Primer makeup liquid
Smashbox has a makeup liquid that can achieve the same appeal as the base milk, but the base cream sounds more basic, and the makeup liquid sounds more important. Either way, your face becomes smoother and more even, and it's easier to present the color of makeup. But Smashbox's pre-makeup fluid has a third effect, which is oil control, which absorbs your hormones while replenishing vitamins, antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients. Hey, Cosmetic companies can be blistering, and their products are not fatal anyway.
Hyaluronic Acid hyaluronic acid
Sometimes called sodium hyaluronate. This is a very good raw material. It is a viscous liquid found in connective tissue and in the synovial fluid around your joints. When you are young, your body will secrete a lot of hyaluronic acid. And as you get older, the amount of secretion will drop. This can be taken in a variety of ways. The quickest way is to inject hyaluronic acid into a soft tissue that fills your wrinkles.
Or you can take oral hyaluronic acid pills. It can also be used locally. The higher the composition of this ingredient in the ingredient list, the more it is contained. In Clinique's Moisturizing range, this is the number one ingredient.
Revitalize freshman
Often compared to antioxidants. In fact, there is no solid theoretical basis to prove that you need to get more antioxidants than the fruits and vegetables you eat every day. But there is no doubt that we are willing to put more useful moves into our faces. This makes us feel like a "new birth", which is a beautiful slogan for most skin. Rosehip oil extracted from the wild rose seeds of Chile in South America has a revitalizing effect. Jojoba oil and sweet almond oil also have a rejuvenating effect.
Niacinamide nicotinamide
This is a vitamin B3 ingredient; it works by increasing the fatty acid levels of the skin. I don't know how it works, but it does accelerate keratin renewal, making our face rich and bright. The cellulite lotion of the Sensai series of Kanebo contains this ingredient; the same is true of Olay's new skin series. The same is true for Olay's Renaissance Skin Series.
Squalene squalene
Shark's liver oil. It can be used as a softener and has a germicidal effect. For shark lovers, this ingredient can also be extracted from malt and olive oil. When the weather is cold, look for skin care products containing this ingredient.
Serums Essence
This is another kind of trick of obscuring. In fact, the serum is purely independent of function, but it only tells the density of the product. A can of serum (usually before moisturizers or after lotion) is not as thin as lotion, nor is it richer than cream. In the skin care product, it is usually an emulsion, which means it can be combined with a variety of different density and functional ingredients, making it easier to use, which can be blended with the salad juice into the original oil and vinegar. Another definition is that "serum" comes from the water quality liquid after the curd is separated from the cheese making process.
Urea urea
Found from the urine. Urea aldehyde is generally written on the label. Don't be scared by this ugly name, it is a solution to the dryness of winter. In some department stores in Tokyo, the business of horticultural counters has undergone amazing changes. Urea sales have risen sharply, while buyers are mostly young women. For the skin, urea has moisturizing and soft keratin, so it can prevent the cuticle from blocking the pores, thereby improving the problem of acne.
Whitening Whitening Products
When you bite an apple, it quickly oxidizes and appears brown. Oxidation also causes brown spots on your skin, so any tyrosinase inhibitor such as Arbutin can prevent your skin from appearing brown, which is why European and American freckle products. Asians are caught in a comprehensive "whitening madness", except that licorice has been used as a Skin Whitening agent for thousands of years.
The controversial Kojic Acid also brightens the skin. After a period of silence in the market, COSME DECORTE reactivated kojic acid this year. There is also hydroquinone, which is also a family of tyrosinase inhibitors. If you abuse it, your face will be like Michael Jackson.
