How to apply a face cream?

The facial skincare routine should consist of various steps, including the application of a cream. This step comes after cleansing the skin with a product that meets its needs. To do this:

1. First and foremost, you must remove your makeup from your face to eliminate all traces of impurities. Makeup remover milk, micellar water or makeup remover oil, choose the makeup remover that is suitable for your skin type;

2. You can then cleanse it with a lotion or a cleansing soap suitable for your skin type;

3. Once these steps have been completed, you can wait for 15 minutes to maximise the effects of your cleansing treatment. After this period, your skin will be dry and ready to receive your face cream ;

4. Before proceeding with the application, use your usual serum and possibly an eye contour care.

This is now the stage where applying cream comes into play, which requires precise movements:

1. Morning and evening, on perfectly cleansed skin and with clean hands, take a small amount of your cream, equivalent to the pulp at the tip of your finger;

2. Warm the cream between your hands to bring it to your skin's temperature and facilitate its absorption;

3. Begin applying your cream starting with the cheeks, areas that are often drier. Stretch the substance from the inside out, two to three passes are sufficient. Avoid the eye contour, which is more delicate and sensitive, as facial creams are often not suitable for this area;

4. Then move on to the temples, making small circular movements to massage your face and stimulate blood circulation;

5. Finish with the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Apply your skincare product to your forehead using horizontal movements to avoid deepening wrinkles, always moving from the inside out. Do not use too much product on the nose: the pores are generally larger here and the cream can become embedded. Finally, apply moisturising cream to the middle of your chin and work towards the outside;

6. Don't stop at your chin; the skin on your neck and décolletage is also susceptible to pigmentation spots, loss of elasticity, and wrinkles. Therefore, apply a small amount of cream from the bottom upwards to counteract gravity and thus prevent sagging of the neck;

7. Before applying other products or putting on makeup, wait approximately 5 minutes for the skin to absorb it.
