Any questions?
Our experts have the answer
Why should I use a face moisturizer?
Your moisturizer is an essential part of your skincare and beauty routine. The right face moisturizer for your skin type protects sensitive skin, improves skin tone and texture, and helps reduce redness and imperfections. Moisturizing your face also helps to lessen a phenomenon known as transepidermal water loss - the water that your skin loses throughout the day. Moisturizers act as a barrier to water loss by holding water in the outer layer of the 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 the best face moisturizers in your beauty routine, you're not just hydrating your skin; you're also protecting it from the harmful effects of stress, sun damage and pollution.
How often should I apply my day cream or face moisturizer?
Women of all skin types should moisturize 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 moisturizer more frequently. If you don't choose a moisturizer formula with SPF, remember to give your day cream at least 10 minutes to be absorbed before applying your sunscreen.
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 moisturizer: a day cream and a night cream. You should choose your moisturizer depending on your skin type, your skin age, and your skincare 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 skin to recover while you sleep. Specialist face moisturizers include active ingredients to tackle common skincare concerns, such as redness or lack of brightness. For example, Clarins Extra-Firming Energy Day Cream is enriched with organic kangaroo and organic mitracarpus extracts to smooth and firm the skin, while Clarins Nutri-Lumière Day Cream is enriched with active ingredients to fight signs of aging.
How to update your skincare routine in winter and summer
As the seasons change, so does your skin. A good rule of thumb is to match your face moisturizer to your wardrobe. In warmer months, a lightweight moisturizer will generally do the trick. The dry, blustery days of fall and winter can be more trying on the skin, so you may want to switch to a skin moisturizer that's more hydrating. Rich balm or cream formulas are excellent choices for day creams in winter, while gel creams or fluids may be better for your skin in summer.
How to choose the best face moisturizer for your skin type: normal skin, dry skin and oily skin
Face moisturizers aren't just for dry skin - normal skin types and oily skin need a dedicated moisturizer! Clarins' range of hydrating facial moisturizers offer solutions for every skin type: dry skin, moisturizers for oily skin and even moisturizers for combination skin. If you have dry skin, you may want to consider a rich cream moisturizer or a moisturizer with a balm texture. Oily skin types should opt for a refreshing gel moisturizer or emulsion to avoid clogging pores. Normal skin types should go for a fluid moisturizer or a light day cream. Whatever moisturizer you choose, remember to choose a formula enriched with SPF!
Should I choose a moisturizer with SPF?
Using a face moisturizer enriched with SPF is essential to protect your skin from sun damage. It’s recommended to choose a day cream with at least SPF15. Remember to apply your moisturizer even on cloudy days, as sun damage to skin can occur when the sun isn’t shining. For extra protection against the exposome, Clarins' face moisturizers all contain an Anti-Pollution Complex that shields skin from harsh environmental influences that can lead to premature signs of aging—an essential step in any good skincare routine.
