Moisturizing creams, day and night creams, anti-wrinkle creams with antioxidants, every woman spends many hundreds of euros on it every year.
Do these creams really keep our skin young and healthy for longer, or is that just a commercial myth?
Answer
Dear Inge
Our skin is exposed to numerous factors on a daily basis, such as sun, cold, environmental pollution, …. All these factors affect our skin and leave their traces in the long run.
In that respect, a skin care cream is definitely recommended to protect the skin. Initially, it should be moisturizing. This means that the cream maintains the moisture content of the skin. In addition, it is also desirable that the cream contains a UV factor, so that the skin is protected against harmful sun rays.
When you decide to use a skin care cream, consult your pharmacist or dermatologist first. After all, skin care creams can only provide adequate protection if they are tailored to your skin. The skin type, age, possible allergies or skin conditions, etc. must be taken into account.
Only when these conditions are met can these creams be considered useful and are not a waste of money.
Kind regards
