To prevent your facial skin from becoming dehydrated, you should use a moisturising cream suitable for your skin type, both morning and evening. Moreover, it is generally necessary to take into account the temperature variations your skin will be exposed to, hormonal fluctuations, or even changes in seasons.
For a cream suitable for all skin types, you might consider the 9-ingredient moisturising cream. Light and non-greasy, this skincare product is suitable for dry, combination, normal and sensitive skin. However, it is not recommended for oily skin. This treatment will provide the right amount of hydration and repair to the epidermis, thus combating dull complexion, skin tightness and fine lines.
The objective of the moisturiser should be to ensure that a higher percentage of water remains in the most active layers of the epidermis, that is to say, to mimic the physiology of the skin's lipids.
If the percentage of water in the air is low (low humidity) or if the skin is dry and dehydrated, leading to rapid transepidermal water loss, the cream chosen for daytime use should create a barrier that slows down transepidermal water loss. It should be composed of a combination of occlusives, emollients, and humectants with film-forming properties.
If the humidity is high and the skin type is combination or oily, the opposite applies. It is preferable to recommend a lighter water-based gel/cream formula or an oil-free formula with a different variation of humectants. Occlusive products are not recommended for daytime use. The emollients contained in the moisturising cream should not be comedogenic and the percentage should be reduced to a minimum.
