In a conversation with Gazeta, dermatocosmetologist Svetlana Studenikina of the Likato Professional line emphasized a skincare routine designed to keep the facial skin firm and resilient for as long as possible. The guidance focuses on everyday habits and products that support elasticity and youthful appearance.
Her recommendations stress the importance of including thermal water sprays, regular exfoliation with suitable peels, and daily sunscreen protection as foundational steps in a routine. She also highlighted the role of antioxidants and certain vitamins, specifically selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin P, in countering oxidative stress driven by free radicals that can age the skin over time.
For renewal, hydration, and a youthful complexion, the doctor advised choosing formulations that contain panthenol, niacinamide, or nicotinic acid. These ingredients stimulate collagen and elastin production and are often paired with alpha hydroxy acids to support gentle resurfacing and improved texture.
To maintain skin turgor, products featuring humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin were recommended for deeper dermal hydration. Additionally, collagen-supporting ingredients can help keep the skin plump and supple, while urea is noted for aiding the removal of dead keratinized cells and smoothing the surface.
When early signs of aging and reduced firmness become noticeable, the skincare routine may be enhanced with retinol-containing products. Retinol is known for supporting wrinkle reduction, improving overall skin tone and structure, and providing anti-photoaging benefits.
Before introducing any new product, it is prudent to perform a patch test on a small, discreet area of skin to assess tolerance and rule out potential reactions to any ingredient.
It should be noted that previous discussions on luxury versus budget cosmetics continue to circulate within cosmetic discourse, underscoring the broad range of formulations available to consumers today.
