Surely you have seen the legendary blue Nivea can countless times in your grandparents' house or on your mother's dressing table. Therefore, this cream is a classic that is passed from generation to generation and is always present when it comes to skin care.
The famous “lifetime cream” stands out for its dense texture that is very nourishing and moisturizing, which is why it is a perfect product to prepare the skin before makeup. The makeup artist and TikToker Mica Sifuentes has shared three uses that she gives to the Nivea cream to achieve soft skin and make the makeup base look even more beautiful and not crack as the hours go by.
The first use that Mica recommends is as a normal moisturizing cream, but here it clarifies that it is not recommended for all skin types, but rather for dehydrated or dry skin because it is a dense and nutritious cream. “If you have oily skin it can leave you feeling very heavy and oily,” emphasizes the makeup artist.
The next use that the expert tells us is to use the Nivea as if it were an express mask, a trick that she in turn learned from a makeup artist. “I have tried it for many months on myself and on clients and I think it is fabulous,” he says.
The technique consists of generously applying the cream to the face, we can use a brush or directly with our hands, and wait five minutes. Then, with a soft cloth, remove the excess part and apply the following skincare products, such as toner or moisturizing cream, but only if you think you need it.
The third use is as a gentle exfoliant. For example, in those cases where we have a lot of small skin near the nose (due to a cold) we can try to eliminate them using a clean gupillon with a little Nivea and we begin to rub the edges of the nose gently and in different directions. The makeup artist says that it has worked for her, and that it will change your life.
