How to Choose Your Moisturizer According to Your Skin Type?

If You Have Oily Skin:

Easy to recognize, oily skin produces a lot of sebum. You can observe this across your face: if it tends to shine and your pores are enlarged (especially around the nose), then you likely have oily skin. This type of skin also often has small imperfections and pimples. Even if your skin is oily, you still need to moisturize it. Choose a lightweight facial moisturizer with purifying properties that can also tighten enlarged pores.

If You Have Normal Skin:

Your skin is balanced, has no acne, and few imperfections. Choose a cream that is not too rich on one hand, but not sebum-regulating on the other, to avoid drying it out. Don't hesitate to opt for a cream with Hyaluronic Acid to ensure good hydration and prevent signs of aging.

If You Have Combination Skin:

It's not always easy to know what combination skin is. Generally, it's skin that can appear very dry in some areas while becoming greasy as the day goes on. Oily areas are usually localized on the T-zone, from the forehead to the chin, passing through the sides of the nose. Opt for a sebum-regulating cream that is also moisturizing. A product capable of treating imperfections will also purify your skin.

If You Have Dry Skin:

Fragile, your skin feels tight, flakes, and is often uncomfortable. It's skin that doesn't produce enough sebum to effectively protect itself from external aggressions. You need a cream that can moisturize (provide water) and nourish (with lipid support). Indeed, a supply of lipids will allow your skin to effectively protect itself against external aggressions such as bacteria or pollution.

Which Moisturizer to Choose According to Your Age?

Apply a facial moisturizer before the first signs of aging

Proper hydration of the epidermis is essential to preserve tissue elasticity longer. And it's from the age of 20 that you should moisturize your facial skin. The goal? To offer constant hydration throughout the day for a fresh and unified complexion.

A moisturizer against the first signs of skin aging

To combat premature skin aging (which can be caused by pollution, stress, free radicals...), it is important to choose a suitable range from the age of 30: it should neither be too rich nor too light and should correspond to your skin type. It should moisturize, but also protect from external aggressions. It is for this reason that it is recommended to choose a cream including sun protection, to protect you against UV rays, one of the main causes of skin aging.

The right care from the age of 40: a complete routine for comprehensive action

Wrinkles are more numerous and deeper at this age. It is also around 40 years old that the skin loses firmness and radiance, and wrinkles may tend to deepen. It is advisable to opt for an anti-aging serum, an eye contour treatment, and an anti-aging moisturizer, for comprehensive action as early as possible.

From the age of 50, prioritize a redensifying facial cream

Menopause brings about many hormonal changes. The skin becomes thinner and marks more than before; it recovers more slowly. Pigment spots may also appear. It's time to prioritize redensifying treatments and add an anti-spot routine.

For 60-year-old and older skins: several products for more effectiveness

From around 60 years old, you need a real anti-aging routine. Ideally, it should include an eye contour treatment, a redensifying serum, and an ultra-nourishing cream.

10 Beauty Hacks That Will Change Your Life

 
Oig1 1

1 – REVIEW THE WAY YOU APPLY YOUR EYE CREAM
It's not a myth: applying too much cream around the eyes tends to cause them to swell. Woe, do we have to choose between fine lines and puffy eyes? Don't worry, there's nothing stopping you from using an eye contour treatment... as long as you don't make a simple mistake. Instead of spreading it generously over the entire eye area, apply it by tapping along the orbital bone.  The active ingredients will rise by capillary action, allowing the contour of your eyes to benefit from the treatment without overloading it with material.

2 - DRY SHAMPOO, A FRIEND WHO WISHES YOU WELL
Do we still need to sing the praises of dry shampoo to you? While it doesn't replace a classic shampoo in the long run, it's still the ultimate superhero product. Not content with saving the day on mornings when you don't have time to shampoo, it has no equal in giving volume and body to your hair, and makes it easier to hold your hairstyles. But the real bonus is that by allowing you to space out the shampoos, it prevents you from attacking your lengths too much, and slows down the fading of your colors.

3- MAKE ROOM FOR VEGETABLE OIL IN YOUR BATHROOM
Vegetable oil is one of those versatile beauty products that is too often underestimated. Sweet almond, coconut, jojoba, argan... Make your choice and give it the space it deserves on your bathroom shelf. You can use it to remove make-up (it is extremely effective, especially on waterproof makeup), but also as a treatment for dry hair, for the body, as a massage... And to make your skincare more nourishing, add 2 or 3 drops to your usual cream. Baby's skin effect guaranteed!

4 - DETANGLE YOUR HAIR BEFORE WASHING IT
It's a silly trick, and yet it makes all the difference. Before jumping in the shower, remember to detangle your hair with a comb. This will prevent breakage when shampooing, and will allow you to use less conditioner than usual to detangle them. By avoiding overloading your hair with product, it will be less likely to be weighed down and will regrease less quickly. Double benefit!

5–30 SECONDS TO MAKE YOUR LIPSTICK LAST TWICE AS LONG
In the same way that you powder your complexion to set your makeup, it is entirely possible to powder your lipstick. How? After applying, absorb the excess by pressing your lips to a tissue. Then peel off a layer of a clean tissue and hold it over your mouth. Then apply translucent loose powder with a brush on top of this thin thickness of tissue. The right dose will pass through the fibers. Your lipstick will have a matte finish and the color will last twice as long!

6 - APPLY YOUR MASCARA TO THE BOTTOM LASHES BEFORE THE TOP LASHES
If you regularly find yourself with mascara stains above your eyelid, this tip is for you. It's a mistake we've all made with mascara: when you tilt your head forward and open your eyes wide to apply it to the bottom lashes, the top ones – which aren't dry yet – touch your upper eyelid and leave marks. Change your habits! By applying your mascara to the bottom lashes first, you'll avoid this annoying phenomenon. And rest assured, while you're applying makeup to the top lashes, the bottom ones won't have to stain anything.

7 - TWIST YOUR DAMP HAIR FOR HEAT-FREE WAVES
Do you like to have pretty wavy hair but don't want to put it through the ordeal of heating devices too often? That is a credit to you. Instead, opt for the twisting technique: when you let your hair air dry, twist it around your fingers while it's still damp. Make 4 or 5 twists on each side of your head, and secure them in a large clamp. Once your hair is completely dry, scrunch it with your fingers and lacquer for a better hold.

8 - WEAR COTTON SWAB MAKEUP
Make-up artists on the runway have understood it for a long time: cotton swabs are not only for cleaning the ears! On the contrary, these little tools are devilishly useful for makeup. We can't even count their uses: melting a kohl pencil, erasing a concealer applied a little too generously, blending a lip contour that is too clean...  And soaked in a few drops of micellar water, the cotton swab is also a great help to rectify a line of eyeliner. Because – between us – who can boast of getting it right every time the first time?

9 – USE YOUR LIPSTICK AS A CREAM BLUSH
For a quick and easy makeup, here is an idea that will make your life easier. No need for blush and a brush. Simply grab your favorite lipstick, and apply a small amount to your cheeks, blending it with your fingers, just like you would with a cream blush. For a better hold, prefer satin or semi-matte textures to more glossy finishes. The advantage of this technique? No need to think about how to coordinate your blush with your lipstick. The downside? This method is not recommended for oilier skin, which will prefer powder blushes for better hold.

10 – MASSAGE YOUR FACE
Granted, this one is no longer one of the tips that will save you time, but... Incorporating even two minutes of facial massage with a vegetable oil into your evening skincare routine could well have amazing effects. In addition to being relaxing, the massage stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, promotes the elimination of toxins and impurities, and restores elasticity and tone to the facial muscles. The result is firmer, more radiant, clearer and softer skin. This practice is particularly beneficial for mature skin and people with uneven skin texture.
