There are beauty products that, despite the passing of the years, are still very present and, far from losing steam, they remain at the top. Nivea cream is the perfect example of this, since for many people it is a basic product that cannot be missing at home, and that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Its simple formula and versatility have contributed to this iconic cream continuing to be so well received in the vast majority of toiletry bags. The pharmacist and content creator Eduardo Senante has explained to the Magas publication how you can get the most out of the Nivea cream from the blue can.
What the pharmacist says
For Eduardo Senante, the Nivea cream in the blue can continues to be a reference product for its simple formula and its ability to care for dry skin. “It is a cult product, effective, simple and timeless, ideal for dry and very dry skin,” says the expert.
Its composition combines ingredients such as water, paraffin, wax, glycerin, lanolin and panthenol, which help keep the skin hydrated and protected. Thanks to its occlusive action, this cream helps reduce water loss, creating a protective film on the skin surface that acts as a barrier against dehydration.
According to the pharmacist, it does not stand out for providing especially intense hydration, but for its ability to conserve water in the skin and prevent it from being lost, helping to keep it hydrated for longer. Of course, Senante emphasizes that combination or oily skin may feel that this cream has a heavy texture, which is why in these cases it is recommended to apply it only to specific areas such as cheeks, lips, nose or any dry area.
Eduardo Senante's recommendation on how to use Nivea
Now, dry skin prone to dehydration can find a good ally in the classic Nivea cream to improve its hydration. This type of skin needs formulas that, in addition to providing comfort, help retain water and stop its loss to prevent dryness from worsening.
In this sense, Senante recommends a little trick to enhance its effect: “I recommend applying the Nivea cream in a blue bottle on slightly moistened skin to better retain water.” In this way, hydration is encouraged to remain for longer and the skin retains a greater sensation of softness.
Therefore, after having showered or washed our face, it is better to conserve some moisture and then apply the Nivea cream from the blue can. “This way it retains water better and its effect is multiplied,” says the pharmacist. This goes for face, hands and body.
