BeautyHack editor Natalia Kapitsa told how to cope with irritation and dryness in a few hours, which remedy will help soothe the skin after sunburn, and which one will help you fall asleep without hind legs.
Lipid-replenishing cream XeraCalm A. D, Avene
Avene is one of the few cosmetic brands that has lines for hypersensitive, allergenic and very dry skin. Since the Aven thermal spring became a national treasure of France and the legal possession of Pierre Fabre, tens of thousands of patients with atypical dermatitis and other skin diseases have been treated at the Hydrotherapy Center.
I have an oily skin type and hypersensitive in other areas (it turns out that it happens) - it instantly reacts to "wrong" water, aggressive surfactants and other beauty enemies with irritation and peeling. In summer, the legs are especially affected - at the first opportunity (change of water, dehydration) white scales appear on the golden tan.
Avene's XeraCalm A. D cream copes with them “one left”. Within a few hours after application, there is no trace of uninvited guests. Not surprising! "Heavy Artillery" is armed with an excellent composition. Among the ingredients: thermal water, evening primrose oil, palm wax, vitamin E, pH regulator, emulsifier, arginine. No dyes, fragrances or preservatives - the product smells absolutely nothing.
The cream was developed by dermatologists for the care of dry and atopic skin. It took 12 years to create the line. The only thing left to do is to thank the staff of the Avene laboratory for their patience and professionalism.
Price: about 1 400 rubles.
Lavender Relaxing Body Oil, Weleda
Sometimes it seems to me that I live in a car, an airport (somewhere between exits A and B), a train - being in bed on time is a very great luxury! But such a rhythm does not mean that I fall asleep when I click it - sometimes the number of sheep is in the thousands. I have known about the relaxing and "soporific" properties of lavender for a long time - as a child, my mother put small sachets with fragrant herbs under my pillow. Oil from Weleda transported me to a time when, in order to fall asleep, it was enough to ask in my arms or listen to a fairy tale. Delicate, light and surprisingly aromatic - it instantly makes the skin soft, like a cotton blanket. The oil has a slightly warming effect - 10 minutes after application, muscle tension is relieved. In addition to lavender, I found almond and sesame oils in the composition - they help to keep the skin supple and taut. My personal life hack: a few drops of the product on the wrist, and after 10 minutes sleep in the same infant, which adults can only remember, sighing loudly.
Price: 1260 rub.
Body milk Terre De Lumiere, L'occitane
There are means with which I am ready to spin novels for years: there is not a single argument to quit and change with a younger "newbie". L'occitane Terre De Lumiere Body Milk is just one of this series. Delicate like summer clouds, airy like a strawberry soufflé, and light like the finest silk, it is ideal for dates and evening walks along the coast.
I love it for its multifaceted aroma - a bouquet of honey lavender, musk and vanilla aftertaste intoxicates no worse than fortified red wine. Be sure: he will stay with you for a long time, and others will ask where to buy the same perfume.
In addition to the "intoxicating" properties, Terre De Lumiere has an excellent composition to provide quality care: Larsky beeswax, Tonka bean extract and other useful components.
The milk is quickly absorbed, and thanks to the reflective particles, it creates a "wet" effect. A little money on your legs, a little on your shoulders, and you are ready for a trip around the world on a yacht under scarlet sails.
Price: about 2000 rubles.
Body lotion with tiare aroma Body Lotion Scented Tiare, St Barth
Haven't you been to the Caribbean? Body Lotion Scented Tiare, St Barth will help correct this injustice. One: you unscrew the gold cap. Two: remove a few fragrant drops of lotion from the dispenser. Three: Massage onto skin. Four: mentally transfer yourself from the bathroom to the "island of millionaires" Saint Barth. How do you like the script? I rehearse it regularly, when the soul asks for a holiday, and the body asks for life-giving moisture.
It contains natural oils, but the product is not heavy - it is easy to apply and quickly absorbed. Use in the morning to lift your mood and in the evening to pamper your skin after a hard day at work.
Price: 2 980 rub.
After Sun Gel Aloe Vera & Mint, St Barth
I love to sunbathe - I confess! Despite the warnings of cosmetologists, I can lie on the beach for hours and rejoice, watching the skin change its color from milk chocolate to a dark color. The beautygolic and the failed doctor still include my common sense: I never sunbathe without protection and take care of my face and body afterwards.
St Barth's gel is made from the pulp of Barbados aloe and has powerful anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. The product cools (if burned, achieve Zen when applied), relieves puffiness and stimulates cell regeneration.
My beauty hack: I keep the gel in the refrigerator - there it peacefully coexists with thermal water and too oily creams, more suitable for cold weather.
Price: 3 125 rub.
