The Sostar Schinelía Anti-Wrinkle Day Cream is an anti-aging face cream of 50ml that combines Chios mastic oil, Chios mastic water and organic olive oil. In its composition, it also adds allantoin and hyaluronic acid, two well-known ingredients of daily facial care.
It is aimed at anyone who wants to start the day with a cream that hydrates, cares for the first signs of aging and leaves a feeling of freshness. According to the manufacturer, it is suitable for oily skin, which is not often found in anti-aging creams, which usually have a heavier texture.
Mastic is the resin of a shrub, the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus var. chia), which gives mastic only in the south of Chios, in the so-called Mastic Villages. Growers charm the trunk in the summer and the resin that flows solidifies into small, transparent "tears". Collection, cleaning and sieving are still largely done by hand, a centuries-old tradition that inextricably links the product to the island.
Distillation of the resin yields two products. The mastic oil is an essential oil with the characteristic cool, resinous smell. The mastic water is the aromatic water that remains after distillation and retains in a mild form some of the aromatic elements of the resin. Mastic has been used in body care since antiquity and today it is one of the most recognizable Greek ingredients in cosmetology.
Olive oil, allantoin and hyaluronic acid work synergistically: they help protect against the signs of premature aging and restore the skin's natural moisture.
For skin types that are beginning to show fine lines and want a simple morning cream with an anti-aging focus. For oily or combination skin types that usually avoid rich anti-wrinkle textures. And for those who prefer Mediterranean ingredients, such as mastic and olive oil. If you want a more comprehensive routine, the Schinelía line also includes night cream and eye cream.
Every morning, after cleansing your face, take a little cream in the tips of your fingers and spread it on your face and neck with upward movements, until it is absorbed. On sunny days, complete with a facial sunscreen. Follow the instructions on the packaging.

It can. Allow it to absorb for a few minutes before applying make up, so that the base can spread evenly.
