Cared for skin and defenseless skin, the main differences
How many times have our mothers, aunts and grandmothers insisted on the importance of taking care of our skin and how many times have we looked to the side. Now, when our skin feels dull, dull, dehydrated and even feeling fatigued, we wish we had paid more attention to their advice. Facial care is essential to keep the skin not only radiant, but also healthy. However, we must know that not all skin is the same and that is why each one needs a different approach: from cabin treatments that respond to specific needs to pharmacy creams that we can include in our daily facial routine.
Furthermore, in autumn, “the skin usually shows the effects of excessive exposure to the sun in summer and the climatic changes of colder temperatures,” explains Estefanía Nieto, technical director of Omorovicza. For her part, Natalia Abellán, technical director of Ambari, adds that the skin can also present spots, “a consequence of overexposure to the sun during last summer. Therefore, it is essential to include products that contain hydroxy acids in our facial care routine – such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, phytic acid or lactic acid – to try to awaken the skin and combat blemishes. And what better way to do it than with a pharmacy cream that responds to the needs of our skin at all times ?
Why should we buy our cosmetics and creams in a pharmacy?
In general, pharmacy creams offer effectiveness and safety thanks to the fact that they are subjected to rigorous clinical trials and safety tests, which allows us to see that the ingredients and active ingredients used have been carefully evaluated in order to give a response to the needs of each skin. At the same time, pharmacy creams contain high-quality active ingredients in effective concentrations as well as a guarantee of authenticity, something that is essential to avoid falling into deception and purchasing products that are not authentic.
But, among the most important aspects to take into account when choosing a pharmacy cream is the fact that, when we visit a pharmacy, pharmacists and dermatologists can advise us by answering all our questions, analyzing our skin and providing the best solutions for our skin type – or its needs at that moment. “There are several reasons to buy our beauty routine in a pharmacy, among which we can highlight advice. Not all skin is the same and sometimes may even be subject to different conditions. The pharmacist knows the composition and is an expert in skin care. of the skin depending on the ingredients of the product, hence it can always offer us the most appropriate option for each case. Having a professional who supports the choice based on a specific need is already, in part, a guarantee of success in the result of the treatment,” says Lucía Altozano, new owner of SKINPHARMACY Jorge Juan 34.
What are the most common skin types?
Dry skin
normal skin
oily skin
combination skin
“The percentage of the main ingredient would be another option to choose pharmacy products, especially at certain ages or in the face of specific problems. Pharmacy creams generally have a higher percentage of the main active ingredient and can be classified in many cases as cosmeceutical. , which mainly differs from cosmetics by having the ability to work from the inside and not only on the surface,” adds Altozano.
While normal skin requires balanced hydration and sun protection to maintain its health and vitality, oily skin needs products that help control oil production, eliminate excess oil and minimize pores. Therefore, the ideal would be to opt for products that contain salicylic acid, niacinamide and witch hazel extract. For dry skin, we will include facial creams rich in ceramides, rosehip oil and glycerin to help us retain moisture and restore the skin barrier. And, if your skin is combination, you should keep in mind that you must use specific products for each area – light gels for the T zone and rich creams for the cheek area – that help balance hydration and control excess fat in the T zone.
