FAQ about moisturizer

How to choose your facial cream?

The choice of the facial cream depends primarily on skin type (nourishing for dry skin, lightweight for oily skin, soothing for sensitive skin...), even though other factors are also taken into account (ingredients, texture, seasonality...).

How frequently should you apply a moisturizing cream?

For optimal skin hydration and protection, it is recommended to apply your daily moisturizing cream, morning and evening.

Is it necessary to adapt facial moisturizer to seasonal changes?

According to skin type classifications, it is not strictly necessary to change your facial moisturizer each season. However, it can be beneficial to choose a richer cream in winter and a lighter formula in summer.

Can facial creams cause acne breakouts?

Heavy or so-called comedogenic creams can sometimes clog pores and cause blemishes, especially on skin prone to imperfections. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a facial cream suited to your skin type.

Can body cream be used on facial skin?

It is recommended to use products specifically formulated for the face because the skin in that area is thinner and more sensitive.

What is the most effective way to apply body cream?

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

Which body cream formulation is best suited for very dry skin?

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

When should you apply your moisturizing cream in your skincare routine?

The moisturizing cream is generally used after cleansing and, when applicable, after applying a serum. Applied to slightly damp skin, it helps to retain water in the epidermis more effectively. In the morning, it should be followed by sun protection.

Can a moisturizing cream reduce fine lines?

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

Can you use only a moisturizing cream in your skincare routine?

No. Even though a hydrating cream is a very comprehensive product, it is not sufficient on its own. You also need to use a cleanser in the evening and, above all, apply sunscreen in the morning.
