Moisturiser

The choice of face cream primarily depends on one’s skin type (nourishing for dry skin, lightweight for oily skin, soothing for sensitive skin…), even though other criteria are also taken into account (ingredients, texture, seasonality…).

For optimal hydration and protection, it is recommended that you apply your moisturising cream daily, morning and evening.

According to skin type classifications, it is not always necessary to change your face cream with each season. Nevertheless, it may be advantageous to choose a richer cream in winter and a lighter formulation in summer.

Heavy, or so-called comedogenic, creams can sometimes block pores and cause blemishes, especially on skin prone to imperfections. Therefore, it is essential to choose a facial cream tailored to one’s skin typology.

It is recommended to use products specifically formulated for the face, as the skin is thinner and more sensitive there.

It is recommended to apply your body cream after showering, on skin that is still slightly damp, gently massaging until fully absorbed.

For dry skin, it is recommended to use a body cream rich in plant oils and butters, such as shea butter or avocado oil, and occlusive ingredients to effectively retain hydration.

The moisturising cream is generally used after cleansing and, if required, after a serum. When applied to slightly damp skin, it improves water retention in the epidermis. In the morning, it should be followed by sun protection.

Adequate hydration helps to plump the stratum corneum, which can diminish the appearance of fine lines of dehydration. This effect is primarily due to increased water content and the smoothing of the skin.
