The affordable trick of the red carpet makeup artists

If you are a regular Tiktok user with some interest in skin care or makeup, some video related to the Selena Gomez’s lifeguaps.

It all started when one of his trusted makeup artists, Hung Vanngo (who made up from A Scarlett Johansson as Penelope Cruz), posted the complete list of products he had used for Selena’s look in the SAG Awards.

In addition to the fact that all the makeup was the brand of the actress, Rare Beauty, the stylist surprised having chosen a brand of Korean Skincare very affordable price to prepare the skin.

The Green relief amino gel Cleanser cleaner, the Sérum in Bruma Free Moment Green Calming, the Sérum Vitamin C Boosting Serum and finally the calming and repairing cream 345 Relief Cream. All products were of the brand Dr. Althea.

It is a usual practice of makeup artists who, when accrediting the products used in their work, all of them are of the same brand, generally, for some kind of collaboration between them. However, the curious thing is that, in the case of Hung Vanngo, he only used Dr. Althea’s products in Selena Gomez, because his trusted mark to prepare the skin of all his clients is always the Japanese SK-II brand.

Why then did he opted for Korean cosmetics on that occasion? The answer may be in the properties of their ingredients. Specifically, it has been in its 345 Relief Cream cream on which all beauty Tiktokers have focused. Considered as a soothing cream, its formula has Asian spindle, Madecassoside, niacinamide and panthenol, ingredients to which we are accustomed.

The grace is in the extract of Opuntia ficus-Indica or Little Chumbo, a cactus that adds a moisturizing and very interesting water retainer to the cream. Along with the rest of the soothing ingredients, it achieves a light cream capable of reinforcing the barrier, especially useful in skin with outbreaks, redness or discomfort. Would Selena have reactive skin before SAG Awards?

The truth is that, the price of cream, which in Spain It can be achieved in Planet Skin for € 25and the fact that it has that successful endorsement that in our minds supposes that it is a Korean product, have contributed to 8 million units around the world.

In social networks you will see videos in which its effects on acne outbreaks are praised, attributing endless healing properties, although, as always, the key is in the concentration of its ingredients.

Become a balm for everything, the most active dermatologists in social networks put warning of their use on granites, wounds, sebaceous filaments or black points, cases in which it could be too moisturizing. Its ingredients make it an occlusive cream although of rapid absorption, that is, especially useful for dry skin.

“Not whenever a cream has niacinamide it will improve texture or pigmentation. The concentration for the niacinamide to be sebeorrregulara and depigmentant should be at least 5%,” says Dr. Pascali in her analysis of the viral cream. Yes it is a good measure, for example, to treat skin with granites per rosacea, redness, perioral dermatitis or dryness around the nose, but always, the dermatologist remembers, “when you do not have fat or mixed skin.”

In addition to the Madecasside or the Asian spint, the other differentiating ingredient of the cream is the cactus extract (Opuntia ficus-Indica) responsible for reinforcing the barrier function of the skin and retaining hydration, increasing moisture. That spongy and calm skin brightness of which both Selena Gomez and the Tiktokers could presume should quite the cactus.

With moisturizing oils, bakuchiol and cbd, the Rose Cactus Oil De Alma Secret It also incorporates in its Opuntia oil formula.
