Now, whether we like it or not, our skin is entering the off-season “age”, which means moisturizing needs to be given importance. Because spring is already beginning outside the window, and the heating season is not over yet. And yes, we can limit ourselves to hoping that hydration will come by itself, but we are not supporters of this state of affairs, so we are accustomed to turning to more guaranteed methods.
According to many studies, the most effective way to moisturize the skin is low molecular weight hyaluronic acid – it replenishes the lack of moisture even in the deep layers of the skin, moisturizes and eliminates the feeling of tightness, prevents premature aging of the skin, and also helps maintain hydrolipid balance.
Most often, when it comes to professional care care, all beauticians and dermatologists recommend looking at pharmacy cosmetics for various reasons. First of all, these are certified formulas that have been tested to be hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and safe for the skin. Secondly, the concentration of active ingredients in pharmaceutical products is higher than in mass market products.
If we talk about specific brands, it is better to look at the leaders in skin moisturizing in terms of unit sales. The championship features the hyaluronic product series of the international Librederm laboratory*. The products contain no parabens, dyes or fragrances and are suitable for all skin types (yes, even sensitive ones). All products are based on the most effective type of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which penetrates deeply into the skin, filling the gaps between collagen fibers and deeply moisturizing the skin from the inside. The effect of hyaluronic acid is enhanced by active ingredients: NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor), skin-related fatty acids linoleic and linolenic (OMEGA 3-6-9), antioxidant vitamins and herbal ingredients.
The brand’s experts have created a ready-made solution for daily care: a foaming cleansing phase, a maintenance phase with tonic, cream and additional products according to the skin’s needs. But first things first.
Step one: cleaning
In order not to overdry and worsen the condition of the epidermis during the off-season, dermatologists advise you not to overdo it with caution and abandon aggressive cleansers in favor of gentle cleansers.
In the Librederm Hyaluronic Collection, cleansing foam undertakes this function. In addition to low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, the composition includes additional components that soften the skin when washing (and we all remember that tap water is mostly hard and tightens the skin), a complex of mild cleansing substances, Sodium PCA (part of NMF) and polysaccharides.
Step two: maintenance
After preparing the skin, we move on to the main action – care. This stage is needed for long-term moisturizing, anti-aging effect, preservation of skin quality and smoothness, and elimination of wrinkles, dryness and flaking.
And we start with the tonic. Although many people underestimate its importance, it removes cleanser residues on the skin surface and helps balance the skin acidity (pH) that is disturbed after washing. These are normal processes that need to be restored. In addition, the tonic very pleasantly refreshes and tones the skin, moisturizes and retains moisture. The composition of Librederm hyaluronic tonic is enriched with aqueous white line extract containing vitamin C, polysaccharides and sodium PCA, which further softens the skin.
After tonic, the skin is moisturized superficially and prepared for the application of Librederm moisturizing hyaluronic cream, which is a basic care product. It contains an increased amount of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, thus ensuring that the skin stays and feels moist all day long. Its composition is also enriched with the skin-related fatty acids linoleic and linolenic acids and vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant.
What are some other skin problems that are most common and require constant attention? First of all, this is morning puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Isn’t it a familiar story? Both lack of sleep, chronic fatigue, stress and a completely cheerful night lifestyle combined with night cocktails, salty or sweet snacks lead to fluid retention in the body. The skin around the eyes requires special care, since there are almost no sebaceous glands and subcutaneous fat in this area, and the epidermis consists of fewer cell layers. Therefore, external factors primarily affect this region. It is also susceptible to earlier appearance of age-related changes such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Librederm introduced an innovative patch format in the form of an indelible gel, which in just 15 minutes effectively copes with the drainage function and at the same time eliminates wrinkles and circles under the eyes, restoring the tone and elasticity of the skin around the eyes. In addition to hyaluronic acid, it contains acetyl tetrapeptide-5, which has anti-edema properties. Interesting fact: The base of the gel is a Japanese polymer, thanks to which the gel becomes soft, velvety, does not roll and does not feel sticky on the skin. Its convenience is that it does not slip, so you can go to school, work or just prepare your breakfast at your usual pace.
It is important to remember three basic rules in skin care, both in the off-season and in the summer: regularity, consistency and proper moisturizing. It is also better to always choose products of the same brand, because they are created specifically to complement each other and increase the effect.
