Our 6 favorite cocooning face creams

Our 6 moisturizing creams are a real comfort blanket for this season's battered epidermis, coming to the rescue of even the most uncomfortable skin. We'll help you find the one that's right for you - and your budget!

Why use a moisturizer 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

The universals 

  • The most accessible :

Vanilla Pod Nourishing Day Cream Antipodes

A natural, comforting vanilla scent and a cocoon texture that melts into the skin without leaving a greasy residue: there's no doubt that this is the ideal version for all skin types that fear cold snaps! 

A little extra? Because it contains manuka honey, it's also anti-bacterial. No risk of imperfections!

  • The one for pleasure:

Day Cream Line T Crème de Jour Susanne Kaufmann

Its alpine plants soothe the driest (and even irritated!) skin, and protect even the most fragile epidermis all day long. We recommend it even for combination skin in crisis, since it doesn't cause shine. 

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

Better-Aging

  • The most accessible : 

Salvation Jane Omega Rich Cream Pai Skincare

It's not always easy to find a cream that's both "better aging" and adapted to reactive skin! This cream has been specifically designed to do just that. It nourishes dry skin, treats the signs of aging and calms inflammation.

Its little plus? Practical, intolerance-free and super-complete, it combines all the good points to make it a really easy choice.  

  • The one for pleasure: 

The Rich Cream Augustinus Bader

Without doubt one of the most technical, it's also one of the most popular. Like an orchestra conductor, it encourages our skin to boost its own regeneration process. And with its rich formula, it's a real relief for tight skin. 

Its little extra? It's so concentrated, you'll quickly notice its effects on skin quality and comfort.

The very, very rich!

  • The most accessible :

Evercalm Repair Balm Ren Skincare

This gentle balm is particularly recommended if you're also prone to redness, as its anti-inflammatory yeast extracts rebalance the skin's flora. 

Its little extra? Its surprising texture, which transforms into a very fine oil and is rapidly absorbed on contact with the skin. Rich, yes, but without the risk of staining your pillow!

#seo: the ointment
  • The one for pleasure:  

Ointment Hervé Herau

She's saved some skins in distress! When your skin is really disoriented and, in addition to being extremely dry, it also suffers from (major) sensitivities or small pimples... Well, this is THE pot we recommend to reset all the scales!  

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 can you improve the effectiveness of your moisturizer in 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.
