How do I choose my facial moisturiser ?

The skin is a real barrier against external aggressions (pollution, sun, cold, etc.). To keep it as hydrated as possible, you need to take care of it every day. The result is supple, comfortable skin and a radiant, hydrated face. Follow our advice on how to choose your facial moisturiser and how to apply it!

Why use a facial moisturiser ?

The skin on the face is protected by a hydrolipidic film - an emulsion of water and sebum. This film has two major functions: the first is to protect the skin from bacteria and fungi; the second is to keep the skin hydrated and supple.

Every day, the skin is mistreated by various external elements. This has a direct impact on the quality of the skin, and the hydrolipidic film no longer plays a sufficiently effective role as an external barrier. So to keep the skin hydrated and supple, it needs to be moisturised and nourished every day with a moisturiser.

This cream can moisturise, nourish, firm, even out the complexion or purify the skin. In short, using a facial moisturiser has nothing but benefits, but how do you choose the right one?

How should I treat my face ?

Facial skin is one of the most fragile parts of the human body. Every skin type is different and needs to be moisturised according to its needs.

There are several factors to take into account...

Skin type

It's important to know your skin type: normal, dry, combination or oily. 

If you have combination to oily skin, it's essential to apply a moisturiser that provides the skin with moisture but not oil, to limit shine. To do this, use a mattifying moisturiser to limit sebum on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).

Gel-Crème de l’Archipel is a moisturiser that purifies and mattifies the skin. Its texture gives a sensation of freshness throughout the day. It's ideal as a make-up base, to be applied morning and/or evening to the face, neck and décolleté. 

For those with dehydrated skin that feels tight, choose your treatment according to your skin type: Fraîcheur des Vagues for combination skin, Crème des Vagues for normal skin and Richesse des Vagues for dry skin.

Age

It's a fact that skin changes over time. The more the years go by, the more the skin needs to be nourished and is no longer completely the same.

At the age of 20, a light moisturiser is all you need to have pretty skin. At 35 and over, your skin needs more moisture. Richer skin care products should be used to prevent the skin from drying out. You should also opt for anti-ageing products, which are more suitable.

The Rivage range is perfect for those who want to correct wrinkles, lack of firmness and sagging contours. Crème du Rivage is enriched with Blue Sea Immortelle and Alaria Esculenta to correct wrinkles, firm and lift the skin. 

The Presqu'île range is ideal for mature, demanding skin looking to combat all the signs of ageing. The Replumping & Firming Cream is enriched with pro-youth Laminaria digitata and boosted with Sea Fennel Stem Cells to combat all the signs of ageing.

The season

Your skin needs to be moisturised all year round, whether it's winter or summer. When it's hot, use a light, not too rich moisturiser. In winter, opt for a creamier, more protective facial moisturiser. 

Which treatment is best? La Crème du Jardin Marin is suitable for all skin types. Its formula, enriched with Shea Butter and active marine ingredients, moisturises, regenerates and protects the skin.

How to apply moisturiser ?

Now that you know why you should use a facial moisturiser and how to choose it, how do you apply it?

It's easy:

  1. Cleanse your skin: morning and/or evening, you need to remove all impurities and keep your skin clean. Before applying your moisturiser, remember to apply a serum
  2. Moisturise the skin: start with the cheeks and work your way up the sides, smoothing and massaging gently.

For beautiful skin, there's nothing more effective than moisturising face care. It's THE key to staying fresh and radiant in all circumstances!
