Beauty routine, better few products or fill your face with creams?
Beauty routine, better few products or fill your face with creams?
Atavistic doubts in the mirror: how many creams to put on to keep the skin as young as possible? Few serums in the name of the new 'clean' creed that eliminates the superfluous to aim for essential remedies without fatiguing the skin or following a complex and complete beauty routine (with at least a dozen different products applied during the day)? What works best? Social media is the realm of advice on what to choose and the hashtag #skincare currently has around 48 and a half million posts on Instagram. Beauty Pinterest routines are wasted on Pinterest boards, from Korean (on average 10 steps) to Japanese (a few steps less), from Marie Kondo-style routine (which re-evaluates rose water) to clean routine (few basic products , without too many products and chemical ingredients in full green lifestyle), from those recommended by influencers / cosmetic brands / dermatologists / beauticians / cosmetic surgeons up to the countless 2020 skincare check lists that crowd all social networks. The comparisons made by the influencers of the moment are the most followed but, in addition to trusting the suggestions of the Kardashian clan, Chiara Ferragni's trusted makeup artist (with about 18 million followers) and the instagram neo-star Giulia De Lellis with the passion for make-up and makeup, is there a more objective way to regulate yourself? Difficult, at least until today. But something is changing. For the first time, according to the authors of the new experiment published on the Cosmetic & Toiletries Science Applied pages of this month, the two methods among the most popular and recommended by experts and companies specializing in skincare have been compared simple and minimalist routine in a 'clean style' key (cleanser plus day cream in the morning, cleanser in the evening to leave the skin free and no chemical filters) and the most advanced beauty routine, of oriental and holistic inspiration and undoubtedly richer ( ten products, divided as follows: in the morning cleanser, tonic, eye serum, face serum and day cream with sun filter; in the evening cleanser, tonic, eye serum, face serum and nourishing night cream). The daily beauty routine included in the new comparison lacks special and occasional treatments such as masks and peeling and who knows that the latter will not be compared tomorrow. If the clinical trial dedicated to everyday beauty routine is based on complex and very technical methods (groups of 22 and 47 women up to 51 years of age involved, comparisons made with dermatological tools two days after the start of the test and after 12 weeks of treatments, products applied to half of the face to make better comparisons etc), let's go straight to the conclusions: the authors of the comparison write that 'the advanced routine consisting of 10 products improves the skin of the face much more clearly than the simple routine. ' In detail: after two days of testing, skin hydration increased by 12.37% more with the complete beauty routine of 10 products, while with the other the results were minimal. After three months of application the brightness has improved by 11 times with the complete treatment and by 2 times with the simple one. Wrinkles thinned by more than 10% with complex skincare while with basic skincare the results were not very appreciable. The survey also recorded the feelings and comments of the women who underwent these tests who, curiously, voted in favor of both methods, also appreciating the basic one whose perceived results far exceed those recorded with machinery and clinical eye. Because cosmetics act not only objectively, also in our mind for a placebo effect that should not be underestimated (and that factories don't neglect). Finally, what is the recipe behind the products of the observed beauty routines? Moisturizers (such as glycerin, betaine, sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol, propanediol); antioxidants (plant extracts, fruit and lactic ferments), anti wrinkle (plant and bark extracts), emollients (esters and silicones), exfoliators (the renowned glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid). Finally illuminating (like mica), anti-stain (from caffeine to plant extracts) and a right dose of sunscreen for the day.
