Choosing Your Facial Moisturizer: A Comprehensive Guide

For beautiful skin and a radiant complexion, proper facial moisturization remains key. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, and whether you prefer a mattifying cream, a daytime cream, or a nighttime cream, selecting the right moisturizer can be challenging. Let us guide you through the process, helping you find the treatment that suits you best.
Follow our guide. Our skin demands optimal hydration every day to avoid dryness and flaking. Investing in a good moisturizer is essential to maintain healthy skin.

Why Use Facial Moisturizer?

Protected from external aggressions, the skin needs a constant supply of water to maintain its function and stay soft and fresh. The hydrolipidic film, a light and oily filter produced by the sebaceous glands, helps keep the skin hydrated. However, assaulted by cold, sun, or pollution, this film is no longer sufficient and requires additional care. Opting for a moisturizer suitable for our skin type is, therefore, the best weapon to keep the skin healthy.

How to Choose Your Moisturizer?

First and foremost, understand that facial moisturizer does not have the same effects as body moisturizer. Therefore, to preserve your skin, you should opt for two different treatments. For beautiful, hydrated skin, we recommend the winning combination: a day cream + a night cream. The first protects the skin from pollution and other attacks, while the second allows the skin to regenerate.
When choosing your moisturizer, several criteria should be taken into consideration. Among these:
• Your skin type
• Your age
• The season

Choose Your Moisturizer According to Your Skin Type

Moisturizer for Combination Skin

If your skin is normal or combination, choose a skincare routine for combination skin. In the morning, moisturize with a mattifying moisturizer to limit sebum in the T-zone. At night, choose a creamier moisturizer.

Moisturizer and Nourishing for Dry Skin

To care for dry skin, use moisturizers rich in soothing and lipid-replenishing active ingredients. Nourishing, these treatments allow the skin to regain comfort and flexibility. For very dry skin that feels tight and lacks flexibility, you can add an oil-based treatment.

Moisturizer and Mattifying for Oily Skin

If your skin is oily and you think it doesn't need hydration, that's a serious mistake! Despite sebum or shine, it is essential to use a moisturizer. The key is to choose wisely. Prefer a mattifying cream to reduce shine or a purifying and anti-blemish treatment.

Choose Your Moisturizer According to Your Age

Depending on your age, your skin's needs will not be the same. Indeed, if at 20, the skin is "satisfied" with a light moisturizer, it's not the same at 40 or 50! At this age, the skin becomes thinner and needs more nourishment. Therefore, it is recommended to use a richer moisturizer to prevent the skin from drying out. Additionally, signs of aging become more visible. The solution: opt for an anti-aging moisturizer. Not sure which anti-aging cream is right for you? Find the best anti-aging treatments in our store.

Choose Your Moisturizer According to the Season

Depending on the season and temperature, your skin may require some hydration changes.
1. In winter, use a richer and protective cream to face the harmful effects of the cold.
2. In summer, opt for a lighter treatment, easy and pleasant to apply. The main thing is to find a moisturizer suitable for your skin and, above all, that suits you every day!

How to Apply Your Moisturizer?

If choosing your moisturizer is a challenge, applying it properly is another. For beautiful skin, remember to apply the treatment correctly and regularly. This will optimize its effectiveness and its effects on the skin. To do this, opt for a two-step hydration routine:
1. The first step: cleanse your face. Morning and night, cleanse your skin well. Cleansing milk, micellar water, or cleansing oil: choose the facial cleanser that suits your skin and your desires.
2. Then move on to moisturizing. Take a small amount of moisturizer on your fingertip. Warm the cream between your fingers to make it more fluid before applying it to your face. Start applying it to your cheeks, avoiding the eye area. Slowly move upwards towards the outer part of the face, gently smoothing the skin. Gently massage the skin to stimulate circulation and promote better penetration. Finally, finish with the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), which requires less hydration.
Regardless of your skin type, using a moisturizer is essential for the beauty of your epidermis. Used daily, it nourishes, soothes, and protects the skin from premature aging.
Now that you know how to choose your moisturizer, your skin will be radiant!
