There are many women in the world and each one of us is beautiful and different. Each of us has a different type of hair or skin, and so, after our last blog about our crowning glory – the hair, today it is our skin's turn.
There are various skin types, and the skin we have should guide us when choosing suitable facial cosmetics and above all face creams. They are a very important part of our daily care that keeps the skin hydrated, healthy and beautiful. By choosing the right face cream and using it regularly, we can help delay the ageing of the skin and with it the appearance of wrinkles.
There are countless cosmetic companies on the market and even more facial products on offer. So how do you choose the right face cream?
First of all, we should know which skin type we have and choose accordingly. Using face creams that are not right for us can do more harm than good. And of course, let us not forget the first step of skincare, which is cleansing and toning. Only then can we apply a face cream, so that the skin can draw from it all the vitamins and beneficial substances that will do it good.
You can find face creams in our e-shop.
What skin types are there? Which type do I have and which face cream suits me?
Normal skin
Normal skin has fine pores and is smooth, without a greasy sheen. It is usually very easy to cleanse and care for. It looks fresh and smooth. Normal skin rarely has blackheads or red patches. It is very rare in adults; it is mostly little children who have it. Who would not want it, right? If you are one of the lucky ones in this category and you do not feel any tightness, and your pigmentation is even – light nourishing face creams are all you need, such as our natural face cream Za kýbel krásy. It is an almond nourishing and regenerating cream, suitable also for mature skin, which means it is lovely from the age of 30 onwards. The base of the cream is almond oil, but do not worry that it will be too rich. On the contrary, our formula offers a feeling of hydration and not a heavy feel on the skin. Almond oil is one of the most precious oils and its composition is the closest to human skin. Another ingredient is rose water, which has regenerating effects. Hyaluronic acid supports the formation of collagen fibres and the suppleness of the skin. Another significant ingredient in this face cream is Acmella – it firms and smooths the skin.
The second alternative from Panakeia is the day face cream Bathoryčka. It contains a complex of nourishing and regenerating ingredients and on top of that a real treasure in the form of ceramides! Ceramides are highly valued cosmetic actives containing molecules identical to those of the skin. The peptides used also support the formation of collagen and its renewal. And let us not forget to highlight the power of dragon's blood used in this natural face cream – it is often called a liquid facelift.
So which one will you choose?
Dry skin
Dry skin feels very tight and is very sensitive, because it lacks a protective layer. It is pale and fragile and therefore without shine, flakes may form in places and wrinkles appear at an earlier age, so it looks dehydrated. This is where face creams containing truly high-quality oils come to the rescue, and we have chosen our typically Slovak linden oil, so close to our hearts, in the Štefka edition. It is a set of a day and a night cream in which this oil is the foundation. It creates a protective barrier on the skin and has strong regenerating effects, gives the skin a golden touch, maintains its water and oil balance and even smooths it. It contains a combination of shea and mango butter, which brings deep nourishment and hydration to dull skin. What more could you want from a face cream if you have dry skin? This set will certainly be a wonderful choice.
If you are already past 50 and your skin is dry and already has wrinkles, reach for the VRÁSKOŽRÚT edition. It is made for you, because we are the only ones who have used cleavers oil in face creams, an oil that is truly kind to the skin. It smooths it, supports circulation and works on its firmness and suppleness. Complemented with coenzyme Q10, it helps protect the skin from the signs of ageing and from outer free radicals. The night cream in the VRÁSKOŽRÚT edition also contains sea buckthorn oil, which visibly helps slow the appearance of ageing. The VRÁSKOŽRÚT edition is therefore richer, without a water component, and this makes these creams a real treasure for the skin, because they work intensively on its regeneration and rejuvenation.
Oily skin
Oily skin looks very shiny, has a coarser texture and visibly enlarged pores. Because the skin produces a larger amount of sebum, the pores become clogged and acne and inflammation appear. Oily skin does not have many wrinkles, so there is at least one advantage. Suitable care for this kind of skin means toners and facial waters containing alcohol or with an astringent effect. Face creams should have a mattifying effect, and one such cream is the day cream Štramanda. It has a pleasant, easily spreadable texture and leaves the skin looking matte, which is exactly what is needed here. It is a hydrating face cream containing rosehip oil, traditionally used to help soften the look of acne marks and reduce the appearance of red patches. It is certainly worth trying and you will be pleasantly surprised by what it can do.
Combination skin
Combination skin is a real puzzle for many women, because it is a mixture of dry, normal and oily skin. In the T-zone the skin is usually oily, acne forms there, it shines and the pores are enlarged. The cheeks, on the other hand, are dry and for some of us this really is a little vicious circle when it comes to which face cream to use. Our Kleopatra, of course – it contains exactly what combination skin needs. This nourishing face cream combines the activity of acmella extract, pearl powder and hyaluronic acid. It is complete care for this skin type, where the pearl powder ensures a matte finish while at the same time evening the skin out, reducing the look of pigment spots, and acmella supports a natural anti-age effect.
Skincare should be our everyday ritual, so that we feel beautiful and have healthy skin. We hope we have helped you at least a little with choosing the right face cream, and if you try one, we will be delighted with every piece of feedback for other women who may be dealing with the same skin concerns as you.
