Why Couchon?

    Cushions are still considered a novelty to us. But trust me, it won’t be for long! The products are gaining popularity and at breakneck speed! Soon, cushions will become as familiar as BB creams, lip tints and other products that Korean manufacturers have given us. So, it is worth looking at the new product!

    Couchons came to replace foundations and BB creams. The word couchon itself originated from the French coussin – “pillow”. This name indicates the presence of a soft sponge which is always included with the product.

    Externally coussons resemble a compact powder puff. It is applied as powder: the content should be typed with a sponge and then distributed on the face patting or smearing movements. The porous sponge loosens creamy texture of the cushion and turns it into a light emulsion. That is why the composition lies evenly, does not accumulate and creates a natural tone.

    At the same time, the couch lets you control the density of the coverage. If you only want to lighten the tone and make the face shine, it is enough to apply the cushion in one thin layer. To camouflage serious flaws like acne, age spots and scars, you need to layer the product until the desired result is achieved.

    What are the advantages of cushion?

    • Convenience. It is much faster to create even tone with cushion than with foundation. A sponge helps to spread the product evenly without accumulation and smudges.
    • Compactness. The cushion case fits into any bag or even a pocket. Skin care product is always at hand when you want to refresh your makeup!
    • Skin care. Cushions always contain healthy ingredients that take care of your skin: they moisturize, nourish, reduce wrinkles, etc. The properties of each cushion depend on the composition.
    • Sun protection. Often the products contain SPF and protect the skin from UV radiation.

    What are the disadvantages of cushion?

    We found one disadvantage of the product – uneconomical consumption for dense coverage. This is faced by girls who hide problem skin under the couchon or just like to layer the tone. In this case, it is better to use conventional tonal and BB cream. To the same cushion can be resorted to quickly fix your makeup outside the home.

    How to choose cushion?

    Most cushions are universal for all skin types. But there are products that are suitable for dry or oily skin, for instance. Usually the seller specifies this information. On our website, each product comes with a description of its skin type and condition.

    For normal to dry skin types, cushions with nourishing and moisturizing ingredients are great. Look for hyaluronic acid, collagen, ceramides, plant oils and extracts.

    Owners of oily and combination skin need hydration and sebum control. Get rid of oily shine can help you such components as zinc, talc, Baikal skullcap extract, and pearl powder.

    If you have problematic or hypersensitive skin, pay attention to cushions with soothing components. You’ll love products with panthenol, aloe vera, liquorice extracts and Asian centella.

    For fading skin prone to wrinkles and loss of firmness, cushions with anti-age effect are recommended. They can contain peptides, antioxidant plant extracts and adenosine.

    For pigmented skin care cushions with lightening ingredients such as niacinamide, pearl and mulberry extracts and arbutin can be very helpful.

    What other cushions are there?

    Cushions originated as foundation products for the face. But the form proved so handy that it spread to other types of cosmetics. Today, highlighters, blushes, eye shadows and lipsticks appear in cushion format. So soon it will be possible to collect the whole beauty arsenal from just cushions alone!
