How to choose the right moisturizer?
- Avoid ingredients that are not adapted to your skin type : The higher the number of active ingredients at the beginning of the list, the greater their quantity. Therefore, it's better to read the most active substances first, rather than the words "fragrance" or "fragrance".fragrance"This is a real nightmare for sensitive skin... Other active ingredients to avoid: colorants (under the name "CI" followed by a series of numbers), as well as denatured alcohol (under the name "denatured alcohol"), which are also not recommended for sensitive skin, which can cause redness and dehydration. Combination and oily skin types should avoid petrochemical-derived active ingredients at all costs. which form an occlusive layer on the surface of the hydrolipidic film (such as mineral oils known as "mineral oil"), which could lead to a flare-up of imperfections.
- Focus on "star" active ingredients in your moisturizer : the vegetable oils (such as sweet almond, jojoba, sunflower or avocado oil...) are non-occlusive fats that can even regulate sebum production in shine-prone skin and purify the skin. Shea butter and other nourishing plant waxes are also a must if you have dry skin... For normal to combination skin, look for aloe vera and hyaluronic acid for maximum hydration, without weighing the skin down, while relieving tightness. Last but not least, active ingredients such as peptides, ceramides and vitamins, loaded with antioxidantsFinally, treatment ingredients such as peptides, ceramides and vitamins, loaded with antioxidants, help combat both skin ageing and the damaging effects of pollution, which can lead to a dull complexion and even small imperfections and pigmentation spots.

It's time to bust a cosmetology myth: an anti-wrinkle cream won't make you look 10 years younger. But it will, an anti-aging cream can boost our skin's functioning by stimulating cell renewal, repairing the damage caused by excessive sun exposure, and providing effective protection against the external aggressors that accelerate ageing. So, while we can't reverse the passage of time, we can help slow down its effects on our skin.
Shea butter to nourish, hyaluronic acid to moisturize, lactic acid for smoother, more luminous skin... Our moisturizing creams have no shortage of active ingredients to help us feel beautiful and comfortable in our skin at 50, 60, 70 and beyond! Find out which better-aging routine is right for you!.
Which moisturizer for dry skin?
In need of lipids, dry skin will need to rely on rich moisturizers, or even balms. In short, real cuddly textures to protect their damaged hydrolipidic film. Shea butter, avocado oil, evening primrose oil, safflower oil, borage oil... these are just some of the ingredients to look for in your formulas, to protect your skin and say goodbye to flaking and lack of comfort!
Which moisturizer for normal skin?
We're not dreaming, even normal skin needs a moisturizer every day. This will prevent the risk of dehydration setting in, sensitivities and faster skin aging... You'll need to choose a face cream with just the right balance of water and oil. And why not opt for preventive anti-ageing active ingredients like hyaluronic acid for even more perfect skin... and for longer!
Which moisturizer for combination skin?
A somewhat capricious T-zone that produces more sebum than average and uncomfortable cheeks... Combination skin is the most common type of skin, and to balance it out, opt for formulas with more moisturizing (water) than nourishing (oil) active ingredients. The little trick that changes everything? Start by applying moisturizing cream on the cheeks, then finish with the T-zone, allowing you to apply just the right amount.
Which moisturizer for sensitive skin?
When the hydrolipidic film covering the epidermis is altered, the skin no longer has a sufficiently effective shield to protect itself from aggressors such as cold, pollution and various bacteria... Moisturizers are therefore essential to create a new barrier. It's worth noting that most moisturizers also contain anti-inflammatory agents and other ingredients that help reinforce the skin's own defenses... A must when you consider that perfectly protected, sensitive skin ages much more slowly.
Which moisturizer for oily skin?
Oily skin is skin on the defensive, producing more sebum than average to protect itself against external aggression. They are therefore easily recognized by their areas of shinemore or less localized over the whole face. And by domino effect, excess sebum can also cause imperfections by clogging pores. We therefore opt for moisturizing creams with light textures and rebalancing or even purifying formulas.. Because, yes, oily skin mustn't skip the moisturizing step, otherwise it will produce even more sebum to defend itself!
