Days care

What types of day creams are there?

Not all day creams serve the same purpose. Depending on the skin's needs, the texture and active ingredients change to provide targeted carethat feels pleasant from morning until evening.

Here are the main categories:

• Hydrating Cream
  It retains water in the epidermis, smooths dehydration fine lines, and leaves a supple finish. Ideal for normal, dry, or sensitive skin.
  → Garancia Example: [ DIABOLIQUE TOMATE ] CRÈME D’EAU
• Rich Nourishing Cream
  A creamy formula, perfect for dry skin lacking comfort. It protects against cold, soothes, and restores softness.
  → Example: [ DIABOLIQUE TOMATE ] CRÈME RICHE
• Anti-Aging Cream
  It acts on firmness, elasticity, and wrinkles. Often enriched with peptides, natural acids, or redensifying botanical extracts.
  → Example: [ MYSTÉRIEUX Mille et Un Jours ]
• Radiance & Anti-Dark Spot Cream
  Evens out skin tone, helps reduce dark spots, and revives radiance.
  → Example: [ ÉCLAIR DE LUNE La Foudroyante ]
• Anti-Fatigue / Anti-Pollution Cream
  It protects the skin from external aggressions: pollution, stress, free radicals.
  → Example: [ DIABOLIQUE GLAÇON ] CRÈME SOIE CRISTALLINE
• Menopause-Expert Redensifying Cream
  Specific for mature skin: restores volume, reduces sagging, and improves skin density.
  → Example: [ ÉTOILE du jour ]

Each texture adapts to a specific skin type: combination, dry, normal, oily, mature… and integrates into a beauty ritual that meets current needs.

How to apply a day cream?

A day cream reveals its full potential when applied with precise gestures and when the skin is prepared. A few seconds are enough to transform its application into a sensory ritualthat awakens the face and optimizes hydration.

Here is the most effective method:

1. Cleanse the face

A gentle cleansingremoves pollution, sebum, and overnight residues.
Clean skin absorbs active ingredients better.

2. Exfoliate if needed

Garancia offers an exception:
→ Pschitt Magique, anexfoliatorthat can be used daily, unlike classic exfoliants (1 to 2 times/week).
It prepares the skin, refines its texture, and maximizes the cream's effectiveness.

3. Apply your serum

Before the cream, applying a targeted serum(hydrating, anti-aging, or radiance-boosting) boosts the action of the subsequent treatment. A few drops are enough to prepare the skin and multiply the effectiveness of your day cream.

4. Apply the day cream

Take a small amountin your hand, warm the texture slightly, then apply with gentle movements:

• from the center to the outside of the face
• moving upwards along the cheekbones
• finishing with the neck

5. Massage to activate radiance

Massaging activates circulation, awakens features, and helps the skin regain a fresher look.

6. Wait a few seconds before applying makeup

The cream becomes a perfect basewhen it has fully penetrated: makeup applies better, the finish is more luminous and even.

Tip for dry skin:a richer texture in the morning helps maintain comfort throughout the day.

What are the ingredients for a day cream?

An effective day creamrelies on a combination of active ingredients capable of hydrating, smoothing, protecting, and strengthening the skin against daily aggressions. Each ingredient plays a precise role, and their synergy creates a treatment that is both effective, sensory, and adapted to the needs of each skin type.

Here are the most beneficial active ingredients in a day cream:

• Hyaluronic Acid
  Maintains hydration, plumps features, and improves suppleness. Essential for reducing the appearance of dehydration fine lines.
• Plant-based Collagen or Collagen Boosters
  Help the skin maintain firmness and elasticity, support skin structure, and fight against sagging.
• Niacinamide
  Evens skin tone, helps reduce spots, and strengthens the skin barrier. Highly appreciated by sensitive and combination skin.
• Antioxidants (vitamin C, botanical extracts)
  Protect the skin from external aggressions: pollution, light, environmental stress. They boost radiance and help prevent signs of aging.
• Natural Extracts (tomato, argan, flowers, seeds)
  Sensory, rich in plant active ingredients, they provide softness, comfort, and a luminous finish.
  → Garancia Signature: tomato extract in [ DIABOLIQUE TOMATE ] CRÈME D’EAUoffers an immediate healthy glow effect.
• Peptides & Retinol-like
  Improve firmness, smooth the skin surface, and act on established wrinkles.
• Sun Filters (SPF)
  Protect from UV rays, limit dark spots, delay photoaging, and preserve skin radiance.
• Vegetable Oils
  Nourish, soothe, and provide lasting comfort without clogging pores.

These ingredients (present in Garancia creams like [ ÉTOILE du jour ], [ MYSTÉRIEUX Mille et Un Jours ]or [ DIABOLIQUE TOMATE ] CRÈME RICHE)restore a smoother, fresher, and visibly plumper appearance to the skin from the very first applications.

How to choose the right day cream?

Every skin has its own rhythm, needs, and little quirks. Choosing the right day cream is above all understanding what your face demands: hydration, radiance, comfort, anti-aging, or a healthy glow effect.

Here's how to find the most suitable formula:

1. Dry skin: needs comfort and nourishment

It feels tight, lacks suppleness, and absorbs everything in a few seconds.
→ Choose a rich, nourishing texture, loaded with vegetable oils and hyaluronic acid.
Example: [ DIABOLIQUE TOMATE ] CRÈME RICHE.

2. Normal or combination skin: balance and freshness

It needs hydration without heaviness, a treatment that retains water while allowing the skin to breathe.
→ Opt for a gelcream or hydrating fluid.
Example: [ DIABOLIQUE TOMATE ] CRÈME D’EAU.

3. Oily skin: shine control

It requires a light, non-comedogenic texture that hydrates while regulating sebum.
→ Favor mattifying and anti-blemish formulas.
Example: [ La PERLE du MARABOUT ].

4. Mature skin: firmness and density

With age, skin loses volume and tone and shows marks more quickly.
→ Prioritize an anti-aging firmingtreatment, rich in peptides, antioxidants, and redensifying active ingredients.
Examples: [ MYSTÉRIEUX Mille et Un Jours ], [ ÉTOILE du jour ].

5. Dull complexion or pigmented spots: needs radiance

To unify, brighten, and correct marks.
→ Turn to a cream enriched with niacinamide, vitamin C, or brightening botanical extracts.
Example: [ ÉCLAIR DE LUNE La Foudroyante ].

6. Tired skin, exposed to pollution: enhanced protection

It lacks energy and reacts quickly to external aggressions.
→ Consider anti-pollution, plumping, and energizing creams.
Example: [ DIABOLIQUE GLAÇON ] CRÈME SOIE CRISTALLINE.

What are the benefits of a day cream?

Day cream accompanies the skin from morning to night. It plays a key role in the comfort, protection, and beauty of the face, while enhancing the benefits of previously applied treatments (such as serum).

Here's what a good day cream provides:

• Continuous hydration
  It retains water in the epidermis, smooths dehydration fine lines, and provides a lasting feeling of suppleness.
  → Garancia creams, such as [ DIABOLIQUE TOMATE ], provide 24-hour hydration.
• Protection against external aggressions
  UV rays, pollution, temperature variations: the cream forms a protective veil that shields the skin from environmental factors responsible for dull complexion and accelerated aging.
• Targeted anti-aging action
  Depending on the needs, the cream can act on wrinkles, firmness, density, or sagging thanks to peptides, natural extracts, antioxidants, or collagen boosters.
  → Garancia Examples: [ MYSTÉRIEUX Mille et Un Jours ], [ ÉTOILE du jour ].
• Immediate radiance and even complexion
  Some formulas offer natural light, a healthy glow effect, or pigment correction.
  → Example: [ ÉCLAIR DE LUNE La Foudroyante ]for spots,
  → [ DIABOLIQUE TOMATE ] CRÈME D’EAUfor rosy luminosity.
• Sensory comfort
  Silky textures, crystalline gels, milky creams… They make the routine enjoyable and transform the cream into a gentle, quick, and effective moment.
• Perfect base for makeup
  A well-absorbed cream leaves the skin smooth, even, ready to receive foundation, BB cream, or powder without dry patches or migration.
• Sebum regulation (for combination/oily skin)
  An adapted formula helps control shine, reduce imperfections, and refine skin texture.
  → Example: [ La PERLE du MARABOUT ].
