How to apply your day cream?

Applying a day cream to your face is not just about hastily spreading a texture on your cheeks on a Monday morning. It's a true ritual of metamorphosis that allows each active ingredient to unleash its full potential for your skin's health. Whether you use a classic hydrating day cream or an anti-wrinkle day cream, the application technique is an extension of the formulation. For healthy skin and a radiant complexion, here's a guide to mastering the art of application.

Quick Answer

The best time to apply your morning skincare product is after thoroughly cleansing your skin. Apply a small amount of product in circular motions from the center of the face outwards to stimulate blood circulation and maximize its benefits.

Application Steps: The Order of Skincare

For your beauty product to be truly effective, following a precise order is essential. Each step in your skincare routine prepares the next.

1. Cleansing your skin: Use a facial cleanser or micellar water to unclog pores. Slightly damp skin after cleansing can help certain active ingredients penetrate better.
2. The magical exfoliation: Using a grain-free scrub helps sweep away dead cells. It's a skincare gesture that transforms skin texture.
3. Facial serum: Before applying a cream, dab a few drops of serum. Its fluidity targets the deeper layers.
4. Apply your cream: Now is the time to integrate the face cream adapted to your skin's needs into your routine.

The Magical Technique: Application Methods and Massage

The health of your skin also depends on how you massage the tissues. Gently applying your day cream helps to avoid creasing the epidermis.

• Warm the product: Take a small amount of cream in the palm of your hand. Warm it to facilitate application.
• Facial massage: Start from the chin towards the ears, then move up from the sides of the nose towards the temples. Finish on the forehead by smoothing towards the hairline.
• Areas to treat: Never forget the neck and décolleté. The eye contour area requires special attention: use a specific product as this area is too delicate for a classic cream.
• Gentle movements: For anti-wrinkle cream, opt for light tapping to stimulate collagen and cellular action.

Choosing Your Day Cream According to Your Skin Type

On our day cream page, the choice is vast. Each cream texture corresponds to a particular skin tendency.

• Oily skin: A light cream texture or a water cream is ideal. It hydrates without over-saturating sebum.
• Dry skin: A rich cream texture is ideal for deep nourishment. Normal to dry skin loves our whipped cream texture.
• Combination skin: A balance between fluid and cream to treat the T-zone and cheeks.
• Sensitive skin: An organic formula that strengthens the skin barrier against external aggressions.

Why is Sun Protection the Final Step?

Even the best anti-wrinkle day cream can't do anything without sun protection. Sunscreen is the ultimate shield against skin aging. Applying a skincare product with sun protection (or a dedicated sunscreen) evenly after your cream helps protect your face against spots and oxidative stress throughout the day.

FAQ

Can serum and cream be mixed?

It is best to follow the order. First apply the serum, let it penetrate, then apply your cream. This ensures optimal hydration.

When to apply night cream?

Night cream should be applied in the evening, on cleansed skin. It aids in cellular repair during your sleep, whereas day cream focuses on protection.

My skin is pilling after application, why?

This is often a sign that you have applied too much cream or that the cleanser has left a residue.
