Day cream and face care
The day cream completes the morning routine: a lightweight gel texture for combination skin, a richer cream for dry skin, and a specific treatment for the eye area. It hydrates the skin and prepares it for make-up.
A light cream absorbs quickly and leaves the skin ready for make-up.
Why use a day cream?
In the morning, the day cream hydrates the skin and helps to keep it comfortable throughout the day, facing the cold, wind, or the dry air from heating. It also serves as a base for makeup, which sits better on hydrated skin.
What texture for your skin type?
For combination to oily skin, a gel texture or a light cream quickly absorbs without shining. For normal skin, a fluid cream. For dry skin, a rich and nourishing cream. Needs change with the seasons: a richer texture in winter, lighter in summer.
Day cream or night cream?
The day cream, being lighter, is worn under makeup. The night cream, often richer, takes advantage of the skin’s rest to nourish it. A single cream for both day and night is also suitable for simple routines and for skin that reacts to product changes.
The eye area
The skin around the eyes is thinner: a eye cream, applied by gently tapping with your ring finger from the inner corner to the outside, is better suited than a regular face cream. A small amount is enough for both eyes.
How to apply your cream?
On clean skin, after serum, take a small amount of cream, place it in a few spots on your face, and spread it from the centre outwards. Don’t forget your neck. In the morning, finish with sunscreen if the cream doesn't contain any.
Sunscreen
Some day creams contain a sun filter, indicated by the label SPF. For extended exposure, at the beach or in the mountains, a dedicated sunscreen is still necessary.
The complete routine
Cleanse your skin with a face cleanser, apply a serum, then the cream. A weekly mask completes the routine.

Frequently asked questions
How much cream should I apply?
A small amount is enough for the face and neck. A cream that stays on the surface often indicates a quantity that is too much.
Can I apply makeup right after the cream?
Wait one to two minutes for it to absorb. Your foundation will sit better on well-prepared skin.
Should I change cream with the seasons?
Often yes: a richer texture in winter, lighter in summer. Listen to your skin's comfort.
Do I need a separate cream for my neck?
The face cream is also suitable for the neck, extending to the décolleté. These areas are often overlooked.
Does a day cream protect against the sun?
Only if it contains a SPF filter. For long exposure, a sunscreen is still necessary.
