The moisturising cream, the all-in-one treatment to be applied morning and evening.
We forget about day creams and night creams, serums that should only be applied in the morning and those that should only be applied in the evening. We focus on a single cream, which we use morning and evening without asking too many questions. However, it is important to choose one that is not only moisturising but also compatible with your skin type.
If you have sensitive, dry, normal or combination skin, ourmoisturising creamwith 9 ingredients is suitable. If you have oily skin, you should lean towards thepurifying creamZinc PCA 4% + bamboo extract. Enriched with sebum-regulating and antibacterial active ingredients, it purifies the skin and combats skin imperfections.
Apply a tinted serum every morning for a healthy glow effect throughout the day.
The tinted serum oscillates between foundation, BB-cream, and classic serum.The advantage with tinted serumsis that they offer a two-step action. Enriched with hydrating and nourishing actives similar to those of a serum, they first deliver their healing virtues to feed the hydrolipidic barrier and then, in a second step, perfect the complexion. Traditional foundations, on the other hand, are not all equipped with the same properties: they simply serve to unify the complexion or cover imperfections, which is not ideal when one wants to achieve radiance.
Thus, for new mothers, tinted serums are ideal as they save time in the morning beauty routine. They replace the application of a serum followed by a foundation.
Formulated without nanoparticles and silicones, thetinted serums by Typologyare non-occlusive and do not clog pores. They are composed of99% natural origin ingredients. Enriched withvitamin Cfor skin radiance andaloe verafor skin hydration, they provide light coverage and even out the complexion. Moreover, these 2-in-1 products exclude fragrance, nanoparticles, and silicones that often feature in the formulation of traditional foundations and can promote the appearance of imperfections. Each tinted serum can match a wide spectrum of skin tones. The six shades of our serums have been developed according to the FITZPATRICK phototype scale.
Note : Tinted serums are primarily used for camouflaging spots and minor imperfections on the skin of your face and neck. They cannot cover significant imperfections such as acute redness and large pimples.
Eye contour care, an essential for rejuvenating one's gaze.
It's no secret that when one becomes a mother, sleep hours decrease. The resulting fatigue is accompanied by physical manifestations, such as bags and dark circles under the eyes. If this is your case, caffeine is your best ally. Indeed, this active ingredient has several benefits:
It stimulates the microcirculation of blood.
Acting as a true draining agent, caffeine enhances the microcirculation of blood, which not only tones the skin but also allows oxygen and nutrients to permeate the cells. The result: dark circles appear less purple and blood vessels are also less visible.
It decongests the tissues.
By draining the lymphatic fluid often trapped under the lower eyelid, caffeine visibly decongests swollen eyes. Once removed from this sensitive area, it gradually begins to deflate to regain a smooth and taut appearance.
It combats skin ageing.
Loaded with highly potent antioxidants, caffeine combats the early signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines that appear around the eye contour. This active ingredient actively fights against free radicals that attack the epidermis and stimulates cellular renewal.
To combat dark circles or bags under the eyes, you can opt for our eye serum or our dark circle and bag cream, both containing caffeine. However, these treatments have no effect on hollow dark circles and fatty bags.
Furthermore, in the morning, you can apply our tinted under-eye concealer. This hybrid formula, halfway between makeup, blurs dark circles and bags in one stroke. Indeed, it is enriched with caffeine, niacinamide and cornflower hydrosol for a long-lasting effect on the appearance of dark circles and bags.
Pampering oneself in the shower.
Sometimes, for mothers, the shower is one of the only moments of respite in the day. It's worth making the most of it!
For a moment of softness and relaxation, opt for a shower oil. Compared to a shower gel, shower oil is formulated with a higher percentage of vegetable oils with various properties, and moisturising and lipid-replenishing agents, not to mention its cleansing base (surfactants). However, with such a composition, this product does more than just cleanse the body's skin but also offers other benefits (nourishment, soothing, protection).
Our shower oil re-lipidating Vitamin E+F 2.5% + Bitter Almond Extract is an antioxidant treatment that restores suppleness to the epidermis and reduces feelings of tightness, while delicately scenting the skin with a light almond fragrance.
