If you do not be afraid creams can improve the complexion, get rid of greasy and generally look younger.
For basic care enough three funds: Cleansing, moisturizing day and night.
Set can be supplemented with sunscreen, masks, serums and concentrates, which help pinpoint problems. It is best to use professional cosmetics - it is expensive, but you can be sure that the cream really moisturize, and after the cleanser will not have redness. If we want to save, adequate counterparts expensive cosmetics can be found in the brand Clarins, Clinique and Bioderma.
Pick every product strictly according to skin type. All three of them:

- Normal or combined - the skin with invisible pores or slightly enhanced in the T-zone. Sometimes there shine in the nose and forehead.
- Dry - particularly thin and delicate skin with a barely noticeable pores. Problems of the owners of this type - peeling, Irritation, constant feeling of tightness.
