So what is this cosmetic - fluid?

Fluid is a product with a uniquely light (gel) texture.
The name comes from the Latin - fluere - to pour, to flow.

The fluid can be considered a type of cream. This is a water-based product that does not always contain oils. Then on its packaging you can find the inscription oil free. Fluid can be used as a substitute for cream, especially if your skin doesn't need extra fats. Usually, the need for fats is absent for those with oily skin, or during the hot summer period. The fluid contains many active components that do not need fat to dissolve, they have enough water.

Many sunscreen fluids control oily sheen and prevent clogging of pores. These products are also instantly absorbed into the skin, leaving no oily sheen and allowing makeup to be applied.

The toning fluid, like all foundation products, has a denser texture, because their task is to qualitatively mask the relief and any other skin imperfections. Today, toning fluids have not only masking properties, but also moisturizing and sunscreening properties.

How to choose a fluid

When choosing cosmetics, you need to focus on the needs and problems of your skin. It is necessary to choose a product, taking into account the type of skin. For some of us, in the summer, the fluid can completely replace the day care face cream, but not for everyone. If your skin is very dry, you may need additional products. The fluid moisturizes well and absorbs quickly, so it can be used as a makeup base.

The fluids also contain anti-inflammatory components. It is these products that are suitable for owners of oily skin.

Dry skin requires hyaluronic acid plus restorative ingredients. To moisturize dehydrated skin, it is good to use cosmetics not only containing hyaluronic acid, but also with various extracts of herbal ingredients. Aquafluids are ideal for dry skin, making the skin soft and silky. Try to choose a tinting fluid with a more fluid texture, which guarantees a matte finish.

How to use the fluid

Please note that these cosmetics should not be applied to inflamed and uncleaned facial skin. The moisturizing fluid should be applied to skin that is clean and free of makeup. This can be done with micellar water or a scrub.

Cosmetologists do not recommend using fluids in winter, since in their composition, water comes out first as an ingredient, which crystallizes in the cold. The best time of the year to apply the fluid is summer, but you can use it in both spring and fall.

If make-up is required, after applying the fluid, allow 3-5 minutes for the product to be absorbed into the skin, and only then apply the make-up.
