Shower gels have long supplanted habitual soap from our vanity tables. High-quality cosmetics do not dry out the skin, providing a more gentle care. On the shelves of the stores are a lot of tools - the composition and properties differ. How to make a choice and buy a shower gel that suits your type of cover? Look at the composition and decide for yourself exactly what effect you expect from the product.
Gels in daily body care: what's in the composition?
Special gels cleanse the skin as well as traditional soap. Only in the composition of high-quality cosmetics there are not so many alkalis - and in fact they sometimes over dry the cover and violate its natural acid-base balance. And it is much more convenient and pleasant to use gel for cleansing the body - it foams well, due to aromatic additives it has a pleasant lasting aroma, moisturizes the skin, nourishes it with useful components.
Many cosmetic brands offer shower gels for various purposes. But you are careful with the choice - after all, only a high-quality product will have an effect of use, providing gentle body care! First of all, rate the composition. The less in cosmetics "chemistry", so it will be more useful for the skin. But you can hardly find the sale of a 100% natural remedy - except for private masters who make custom care cosmetics. But even here, without the addition of artificial components, it is not complete - otherwise, the body gel will not “live” for even a week.
Native advertising Relap Alkalis in the composition should be a bit - well, if they appear in the list of components in the last positions. And even a small amount of alkali manufacturers, as a rule, soften other components - for example, citric acid. The surfactants (detergents) in the gel cleanse the skin and form a rich foam. There is a lot of controversy about the effects of detergents on the human body - TEA Laureth and TEA Lauril Sulfate are considered the safest. Their use also provides the cosmetic product with a marketable appearance - thick consistency and pearlescent shine. Artificial fragrances give a pleasant fragrance. Herbal extracts and essential oils do not give such a concentrated odor - but they, of course, are much more beneficial for the skin. And if the natural ingredients are listed on the label at the very end of the list of used substances, you should know that there are very few of them in the composition.
You should not buy body care gels of an unnaturally bright color - it is provided not by natural fruits, berries and oils in the composition (as promised by the manufacturers), but by chemicals. Should also be alerted and too saturated smell, which only vaguely resembles natural.
Choose a gel by skin type.
The skin will not peel off after using the gel, if you choose a tool that matches the type of cover. And here you need to look for just the natural ingredients in the list of components. What to look for?
- Dry skin. Soft cream gels will give a good effect. They have many moisturizing ingredients - almond or olive oil, glycerin, jojoba oil.
- Oily skin. Requires more thorough cleansing. Try means with algae. They, by the way, give also anti-cellulite effect.
- Sensitive skin. Cover the gels with herbal ingredients - extracts of chamomile, rose petals, thyme, calendula.
If skin allergies occur frequently, look for hypoallergenic body care products - they contain gentle ingredients that have little to smell.
Gentle body care: the choice of gel for the intended purpose
Cleansing the skin is not the main beneficial property of gels. High-quality, well-chosen cosmetics will give you a pleasant feeling while washing and provide comprehensive care for the cover. What types of gels are there?
Moisturizers,
as a rule, have a light floral scent. Excellent for dry and normal skin care. Manufacturers add glycerin, vitamins, vegetable oils. The components do not leave the body feeling sticky and dry after use.
Applying a moisturizing gel will help maintain the natural water balance of the skin.
Tonic
Remedy is better to include in the morning body care - it invigorates and awakens. But before going to bed it is better to use other cosmetics. As it provides a refreshing effect, such gels are especially good in summer.
The funds usually contain citrus extracts (lime, orange, lemon), as well as ginger, cinnamon, coffee.
Antibacterial
These are gels that help fight off germs on the skin, clean and soothe irritated skin well. An excellent choice for owners of oily, problem skin.
Antibacterial gels can contain triclosan and natural antiseptics - extracts of calendula, fir, chamomile, tea tree leaves.
Nutritious Body after using such tools as if silky to the touch. This effect is due to the special components that actively nourish the cells of the dermis with useful active components - lipids, vitamins A and B. The products are characterized by an almost complete absence of alkalis - and therefore no feeling of dryness and tightness of the covering. One of the best choices of nutritional gel is a shower oil. It consists of half of natural oils. Expect abundant foam from cosmetics is not necessary, but it can solve many skin problems that bother you.
Nutrient gels can remove irritation from the skin - a good choice if you have sensitive skin.
Massage
Tools with abrasive particles in the composition are very popular. When applying the gel on the body, you guarantee an effective peeling for the covering - the pores are cleaned, the dead cells are peeled off, the blood circulation is stimulated. Despite all the benefits of such funds, it is not recommended to use them daily - there is a risk to provoke irritation of the cover. As abrasive particles in massage gels, as a rule, natural components are used - ground apricot seeds, strawberry seeds, coffee.
