Which lotion to use for skin care?
There exists a multitude of toning lotions to meet the real needs of the skin. Thus, choose your care based on your skin type. Dry skin needs hydration, while sensitive skin needs to be soothed. For oily skin, the goal is to regulate sebum production.
Dry Skin: The hyaluronic acid toner helps to hydrate and rebalance the skin's pH. It also aids in brightening the complexion and reducing feelings of tightness.
Dull skin: Choose the radiance toner enriched with vitamin C. Known for its brightening action, vitamin C illuminates the complexion, reduces pigmentation spots, and helps the skin regain its firmness.
Skin prone to imperfections: Choose a lotion rich in purifying active ingredients such as salicylic acid and zinc. This treatment rebalances the skin's pH, eliminates lime scale residues, purifies the skin, and refines the pores. Salicylic acid limits the growth of microorganisms and thus helps to prevent the appearance of blackheads.
How to apply your lotion?
The lotion is applied after the makeup remover and is used morning and evening on clean skin. The purpose of this treatment is to eliminate the remaining impurities on the skin and to permeate the epidermis to promote the absorption of subsequent treatments. Apply the lotion with a cotton pad over your entire face. The lotion does not need to be rinsed off, so you can directly apply your usual skincare products.
The lotion is not used alone, it complements the makeup removal process and prepares the skin to receive the subsequent treatment. Therefore, a moisturizing lotion cannot replace a moisturizing cream. Lotions with soothing or brightening properties are used occasionally when the skin needs it.
