Why should I use a face moisturiser?

A good hydrating moisturiser should be a staple in your skincare and beauty routine. The right face moisturiser for your skin type will not only help protect sensitive skin, but it will also help improve skin tone and texture, while simultaneously reducing redness and imperfections. Moisturising your face also helps to lessen a phenomenon known as transepidermal water loss — the water that your skin loses throughout the day. Moisturisers act as a barrier to water loss by holding water in the outer layer of skin, protecting against the harmful effects of stress, and acting as a barrier to environmental pollutants that can cause your skin to age prematurely. By including face moisturisers with anti-pollution complex in your beauty routine, you're not just hydrating your skin but also protecting it from the harmful effects of stress, sun damage, and pollution.

How often should I apply my day cream or face moisturiser?

Women of all skin types should moisturise as often as required with products suited to their skin type. Usually this means twice a day: once in the morning with a day cream and once before bed using a night cream. If you’re in a cold or dry climate and find that your skin is feeling tight or that your skin is pulling, apply your face moisturiser more frequently. If you don’t choose a moisturiser formula with SPF, remember to give your day cream at least 10 minutes to absorb into your skin before applying your sunscreen. Additionally, the best way to apply your face moisturiser is to use a patting motion; this will help the cream make its way deeper into your skin, resulting in more significant results.

How to choose your day cream and night cream?

In addition to your cleanser and serum, your skincare and beauty routine should include two types of face moisturiser: a day cream and a night cream. You should choose your moisturiser depending on your skin type, your skin age, and your skin care concerns. Whatever your skin type — dry, normal, combination, or oily — your day cream should be enriched with SPF to protect against sun damage. Your night cream should feature a richer, more nourishing formula that will help your skin recover while you sleep. Specialist face moisturisers include active ingredients to tackle common skincare concerns, such as redness or a lack of brightness. For example, Clarins Extra-Firming Energy Day Silky Cream is enriched with organic kangaroo flower and organic mitracarpus extracts to smoothen and firm the skin, while Clarins Nutri-Lumière Day Cream is enriched with active ingredients to fight signs of ageing.

What is the best skincare routine for humid climates?

As the seasons change, so does your skin. A good rule of thumb is to match your face moisturiser to your wardrobe. In warmer months, a lightweight moisturiser will generally do the trick. The dry, blustery days of cooler months can be more trying on the skin, so you may want to switch to a skin moisturiser that's more hydrating. Rich balm or cream formulas are excellent choices for day creams in the colder months, while gel creams or fluids may be better for your skin during the warmer months.

How to choose the best face moisturiser for your skin type: normal skin, dry skin and oily skin?

Face moisturisers aren’t just for dry skin — normal skin types and oily skin need a dedicated moisturiser! Clarins’ range of hydrating facial moisturisers offers solutions for every skin type: dry skin, oily skin,and even combination skin. If you have dry skin or would like to get a rich cream moisturiser at night, our Hydra-Essentiel Night Cream is the perfect moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated. Don’t forget to apply the Hydra-Essentiel Lip Balm to keep your lips plump and hydrated. Oily skin types should get our Hydra-Essentiel Matte Gel Moisturiser to avoid clogging pores. For normal skin types, get our Hydra-Essentiel Serum and lock the hydration with Hydra-Essentiel Light Day Cream. To keep your face hydrated during the day, check out our Hydrating Multi-Protection Mist that you can use as the first step of your skincare routine or after make-up. Whatever moisturiser and skincare routine you may have, remember to choose the Clarins Hydra-Essentiel range to achieve optimal hydration for your skin!

Should I choose a moisturiser with SPF?

Using a face moisturiser enriched with SPF is essential to protect your skin from sun damage and should be a crucial step in any good skincare routine. It’s recommended to choose a day cream with at least SPF15. For extra protection against harmful UV rays and other pollutants, all Clarins’ face moisturisers contain an Anti-Pollution Complex that shields skin from harsh environmental aggressors which can lead to premature signs of ageing. Remember to apply your moisturiser even on cloudy days, as sun damage to the skin can occur even when it's not sunny!
