Our 6 favourite cocooning face creams

Like a duvet for the skin during the harsh, cold months, our top 6 cocooning creams are the perfect antidote to tight, winter skin. Allow us to help you find the face cream that will feel like it was made for you (and your wallet).

Why should I use a moituriser in winter?

In winter, the skin's metabolism slows down and blood circulation is slower. The skin goes into "off mode" to conserve internal body heat. Cell renewal is also put on hold, which can result in a lack of radiance. Sebum production also decreases, resulting in tightness, discomfort and greater sensitivity to external aggressions, as the skin barrier no longer maintains the same balance. In short, winter is a time for the epidermis to rest. We accompany it by applying the following beauty tips: no powerful demands, but creams richer in lipids or moisturizing active ingredients for all skin types. The priority: to protect and reinforce the hydrolipidic film over the long term

#seo: vanilla pod antipodes

For all-round use 

  • Won’t break the bank

Vanilla Pod Nourishing Day Cream Antipodes

A natural, comforting vanilla scent and an enveloping texture that melts into the complexion without leaving the skin feeling greasy. The ideal cream to keep the cold at bay. 

Its little extra? As it contains manuka honey, it is also anti-bacterial. No risk of imperfections!

  • Pure pleasure

Day Cream Line T Day Cream Susanne Kaufmann

Contains alpine plants to relieve the driest and most irritated skins and protect even the most fragile complexions all day long. Highly recommended if you have combination skin in a crisis as it won’t cause greasiness or shine. 

Its little plus? Without a doubt its sensoriality, which makes us addicted to it and quickly makes it THE reference cream for daily use. Slippery, creamy, comfortable on the skin and a fragrance to die for, it's all there!

Better-Aging

  • Won’t break the bank 

Salvation Jane Omega Rich Cream Pai Skincare

It’s not always easy to find an anti-ageing cream that suits sensitive skin. This one has been designed with precisely this combination of problems in mind. Nourishes dry skin, treats signs of age and calms inflammation.

Its little plus? Practical, without risk of intolerance and super complete, it combines all the good points to make it a really easy choice.  

  • Pure pleasure 

The Rich Cream Augustinus Bader

Indubitably one of the most technically advanced creams on the market and also one of the most popular. Encourages the skin to boost its own cellular regeneration process. The rich formula provides immediate relief to tight, uncomfortable skin. 

Its little extra? It is so concentrated, that we notice very quickly the effects on the quality of the skin and on the comfort that it offers.

Super rich

  • Won’t break the bank

Evercalm Repair Balm Ren Skincare

A little pot of super soft balm which we particularly recommend if you suffer from redness. Anti-inflammatory yeast extract rebalances the skin’s flora. 

Its little plus? Its surprising texture that turns into a very fine oil and is quickly absorbed on contact with the skin. Rich yes, but without the risk of staining your pillow!

#seo: the ointment
  • Pure pleasure  

The Ointment Hervé Herau

The saviour of skins in distress! When your skin has really lost its way and is both incredibly dry and sensitive with a smattering of spots, this is THE pot that you need to reset your complexion.  

Its little plus ? You can turn the ointment into a mask and leave it on for a few minutes or even overnight. Redness is reduced, comfort and plumpness are restored!

How to make your moisturiser more effective this winter?

There are a number of tricks you can use to optimize the effectiveness of your moisturizer without using an astronomical amount of product: 

  • Slide a moisture-boosting serum under your skincare cream: start your morning and evening routine with an aqueous phase before applying your cream (richer in fats) to seal in water.

  • Add a drop offacial oil to your favorite cream for extra comfort and glow. Baby-skin effect guaranteed! 

  • Use a cream bath and leave on overnight. Apply a slightly thicker layer of your moisturizing creamApply a slightly thicker layer of your moisturizing cream all over the face, leave to penetrate for ten minutes or so, then go to bed. Your skin will feel silky-smooth in the morning, and fine lines will be erased.
