How to take care of your skin during the inter-season and what skin care regimen to choose – from Victoria Sergeeva, Product Manager, Faberlic Skin Care Department.

If the autumn is full of sun, is it necessary to keep using sun protection products?

Each smartphone and weather forecasting website shows the current UV index. If the UV index is more than three, it is recommended to use SPF products. For extremely fair skin – at the index of more than two.

The innovative Bloom antiaging skin care line with biocapsules of youth has instantly become a favourite of the fair sex and unsurprisingly caused many questions. Here they are, answered by Тatiana Baranova, Faberlic manager for Research and Development.

What is so special in the Bloom skin care line?

The Bloom line offers products for three age groups: 35+, 45+, 55+. Innovation and uniqueness of the formula takes shape in biocapsules of youth.

Despite the huge variety of face care products existing on the market, it is quite difficult to choose right skin care products. Creams, lotions, serums, tonics, peels, masks – you name it, the beauty market have got it. Ekaterina Dubovka, Brand Director for the Skin Care section at Faberlic, answers consumers’ questions.

I am new in the company and want to order a skin care line. The catalogue and the website offer many lines: Bloom, Weekend, iSeul, Expert Skin Activator, Oxiology.

Exotic yet highly popular, Korea has established some of the latest beauty trends. Product manager of the Skincare Division Yana Leontyeva answered our questions about iSeul series, a joint product of Faberlic and the Korean-based BioSpectrum Laboratory.

Moisture shine effect – what does it mean for skin?

Chok-chok, or moisture shine effect, is the Korean beauty trend. Skin looks smooth and deeply hydrated. iSeul Series helps to smooth out skin surface and locks in moisture to keep skin healthy and delay the signs of ageing.

How can you get a beautiful tan without harming your skin? How do you choose sun protection, and when should you reapply it? How can you avoid sunburn during an active vacation? Faberlic skincare product manager Yana Leontyeva answers the most popular questions about SPF cosmetics.
 
I'm going on a beach vacation. What tanning cosmetics should I bring?

It depends on your skin colour and sensitivity. Start your vacation with the maximum protection level (SPF 50) and reduce it once your tan appears.

The challenges of cold weather have worn out our skin, but the restorative spring is almost here! Change up your care routine to match the weather: focus on cleansing, moisturising, and vitaminisation.

STEP 1. CLEANSING

Get rid of flaky skin with soft scrubs, peels, and mousses. Don't use rough abrasives or strong acids – instead, choose products designed for sensitive skin and formulas with enzymes. For example, try the cleansing facial mousse with enzymes from the Expert series.

In Oxiology cosmetics from Faberlic, drones are transport molecules that carry oxygen to the deepest layers of the skin. What makes drones unique is their small size and their ability to deliver an active substance to the exact area that needs it.

They are so small that they can reach the dermis – the middle layer of skin that lies under the epidermis – and affect fibroblasts, which are the cells where collagen and elastin – highly important for maintaining skin's youth and elasticity – are produced.

How are serums, beauty ampoules, and other concentrated products different from creams, and what are their advantages? Let's take a look at when you need to pull out the "big guns" and why.

1. Directed action.

Tired of waiting for results from your daily care routine? Universal treatments, of course, maintain the condition of skin and hair, but for a real transformation, we need concentrated products! Serums are an express option for those who need results here and now.

1. Deeply cleanse skin.
At minimum, wash with a foaming cleanser and micellar water, at maximum, a peeling treatment. With makeup particles and dead cells out of the way, the mask's ingredients penetrate deeper and have a stronger effect.

2. Take a bath.
Combine something pleasant with something very pleasant – take a bath and use a mask at the same time. If the mask contains hyaluronic acid or glycerine, they will draw moisture to your skin from the air without fail. In addition, steam from the bath will help open your pores!

Temperature changes and the dry air of city apartments are the worst enemies of beautiful lips. Don't let a day go by without gentle care, and you'll make it through the winter without sacrificing!

1. Make sure that winter cleansing is as soft as possible. Remove makeup with a makeup-removing milk or micellar water, and remove dead cells 1-2 times a week with a delicate scrub.

2. Use lipstick and lip balms with natural oils– olive, castor, cocoa– and vitamin E. Be sure to protect your lips not only when outside, but also before going to bed.
