Why don't creams absorb into the skin?
Day by day, you perform your beauty ritual, making sure to maintain and preserve the youthful and fresh appearance of your skin for as long as possible. But sometimes, things just don't go as planned. It's as if cosmetic products have turned against you. This is also the case with creams that don't penetrate the skin after application, but remain on its surface as a greasy layer, also collecting airborne impurities.
Why don't creams absorb into the skin? Are you also facing this problem?
Every 28-30 days, the top layer of the skin regenerates. As a result, the cells that have completed their life cycle dry out, but they don't easily shed if we don't help them. Furthermore, these dead cells, along with sebum secretion, block the pores, forming a barrier that prevents skincare products from working.
That's why, in addition to daily cleansing – ideally performed as a double cleanse – it should be supplemented with at least one weekly exfoliation, or even two exfoliations per week. Through its abrasive texture, the exfoliating product removes that layer of dead cells that stubbornly remains on the skin's surface.
As I've explained in previous articles, maintaining the skin in an optimal state of cleanliness is key to a youthful and fresh appearance. Conversely, from my own experience, I've seen why creams don't absorb into the skin, as well as other effects of superficial skin cleansing.
So, remember, exfoliation is the key that helps cosmetic products penetrate the skin, without remaining trapped as if behind an impermeable barrier.
Exfoliate to allow creams to penetrate the skin!
We can help you by offering our own brand's exfoliating product. It is part of our product line with 24-karat colloidal gold, which has the effect of improving the absorption of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. Although the abrasive particles remove dead cells and impurities, slightly sensitizing the skin's surface, the Momirov Cosmetics exfoliator also has a calming effect, leaving the skin smooth and prepared for the absorption of the next product, whether it's a hydrating, anti-aging, or brightening cream.
Creams don't absorb into dehydrated skin.
Another answer to the question "Why don't creams absorb into the skin?" is because the skin is dehydrated. Dehydrated skin has closed pores, which prevents the cream from penetrating it.
The optimal time to apply a cream is after a shower, as water opens the pores, allowing the cream to then penetrate deep into the skin.
If you haven't showered before applying the cream, the right time is only at the final stage of a skincare ritual. That is, you can do this after using a gentle facial cleanser, such as cleansing foams that you then rinse with lukewarm water, or even after a healthy exfoliation. Through such a process, in addition to effective cleansing, we practically prepare the skin for the application of the cream, whose effects will be stimulated by deep cleansing.
However, it is not enough for the skin to be hydrated for the cream to absorb, so exfoliation remains an indispensable step in skin care. Try this a few times and you'll agree with us!
