The modern cosmetology beauty industry produces a huge number of different skin care products, which no one knew about a couple of years ago. It is sometimes very difficult to understand all this diversity, but it is not only desirable, but simply necessary. One of these mysteries is the software developer. Seeing this product on a store shelf, many girls will ask the question: “What is it and why is it needed?” Let's figure it out.
Why is it used
Softner has a thick texture (ideally, similar to jelly or gel). The product instantly improves the condition of the dermis - relieves peeling, soothes irritated and inflamed areas of the face and restores water balance. We can say that he is an intermediary or guide that helps subsequent compounds easily penetrate into skin cells and work actively (for example, a cream or serum).
The softner contains a complex of moisturizing ingredients, natural extracts and oils, peptides, collagen, and vitamins.The product does not contain alcohol, parabens or harmful substances, which is why its cost is quite high.
The main task of the softener is hydration and protection.
Functions also include:
- aligns the structure;
- gives a natural glow to the skin;
- enhances the effect of serum, cream, tonic;
- does not narrow pores;
- slightly hides imperfections.
All this once again emphasizes that softner is a unique cosmetic product, the positive impact of which is difficult to overestimate.
How to use it
The method of application directly depends on what consistency of the product you have chosen. But, as a rule, softner is applied exclusively before all other skin care procedures, that is, immediately after washing.
Do not confuse tonic and softner - these are completely different products, but they can be used both together and separately. But experts recommend not replacing them with each other, but using each for its intended purpose.
It is more convenient to apply the product with a cotton pad, but you can also use your fingers. Distribute the composition over the surface of the skin and pat it a little with your palms until the product is absorbed.
Additionally, the softner is used as a mask. To do this, several cotton pads are moistened with it and left on the face for up to seven minutes.
