Skin Care Cosmetic Types

The cosmetic market is flooded with all sorts of skin cosmetics. Although the categories of cosmetic are a lot but generally we can categorize all kind of skin related cosmetics into 5 categories:

  Creams
It is considered that the ingredients in these creams have anti-oxidant properties. In spite of the fact that the effect of these anti-oxidants is far more potent when taken orally that when massaged in to the skin, these creams are becoming very popular with people concerned about their aging skin.

These creams as a rule have some of the ingredients that potentially fight aging such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Mushroom extracts, herbal extracts, soy, green tea, etc. Usually hese creams are usually massaged into the skin before going to sleep and also under make-up early in the morning.

  Lotions
It sometimes happens that creams are too thick to apply. That’s why they may dry up soon and may provoke people to buy lotions instead. The ingredients may be the same as in creams, but a lotion is more evenly spreadable, especially on hands and neck.

Some of these lotions also come with Sun Screen protection. Manufacturers may use such plant extracts as Feverfew, Berries, Ginseng, Grape Seed Extract, Ashwagandha in these lotions. Besides, other ingredients like Peptides, CoEnzyme Q10, Alpha Hydroxy acids, etc are added to these lotions for more effectiveness.

  Drops or capsules
Creams and Lotions come into contact with our fingers and so they may get infected with bacteria. Besides, buyers may not be using the proper amount of the product that is recommended and may complain that it doesn’t work. In some cases, manufacturers encapsulate the extracts or Vitamins in little pills that can be opened and used immediately.

In such a way, the rest of the capsules will stay clean and dry. Also, our fingers will never touch the rest of the product in the bottle.

  Peels or masks
These skin treatments available at famous SPAs, certain minerals or herbal extracts mixed with other ingredients are applied on the face and allowed to set for minutes or hours.

This type of care as rule concentrates on removing dirt and dead cells from the skin and cleaning and tightening the pores in addition to making the face smoother and healthy looking. They are not used for daily skin care, but most often used for special occasions when you need that rosy glow on your face and body such as weddings, parties, etc.
