Light cream, ice cream, or cocoon, each has its secrets, each with its powers. Whether it's smooth or light, the texture of a facial treatment plays an important role in your beauty routine, but choosing the right cream texture isn't something you can just improvise.
How to choose a face cream?
Choosing the right face cream is important because if the cream doesn't suit your skin, you'll never see any changes in your face and could even have adverse effects (small imperfections, tightness, etc.). The first step is to identify your skin type and condition: dry, combination to oily, normal? Dehydrated, sensitive?
Which texture for which skin type?
Combination to oily skin
Oily skin produces more seborrhea (sebum) than normal skin and this can be due to hormonal reasons, hereditary reasons or different factors such as pollution and tobacco.
Watery, fluid, and light textures are preferred. They penetrate the skin much more easily without leaving a greasy film.
Which PAYOT skincare products should you choose? The lightweight, non-greasy Moisturizing Mattifying Emulsion limits excess sebum and visibly reduces imperfections while hydrating the skin. The Vitamin Radiance Cream is ideal for combating a dull complexion, while the Adaptogenic Moisturizing Jelly is suitable for dehydrated skin.
Dry to very dry skin
Unlike oily skin, dry skin lacks sebum. Its hydrolipidic barrier is weakened, which leads to skin dehydration.
The rich, creamy textures and oils are perfect for dry skin that needs intense nourishment. Which PAYOT products should you choose? Nutricia Comfort Cream is designed for the driest skin and nourishes it for a cocooning effect. For dry and thirsty skin, Adaptogenic Moisturizing Cream will quench its thirst!
Normal skin
Normal skin can indulge in all sorts of extravagances, without going overboard! Without significant imbalances, it can afford to opt for a richer or lighter texture depending on its current mood.
Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin suffers from hypersensitivity. To ensure optimal skin tolerance, opt for a fragrance-free cream or one with a high-tolerance fragrance.
For sensitive and oily skin, opt for a fine, light, and airy texture. Crème No. 2 L'Essentielle deeply hydrates your skin while leaving you feeling comforted and soft.
Sensitive and dry skin needs a richer, creamier texture to avoid further weakening hyper-reactive skin. Cashmere Cream No. 2 strengthens the skin's resistance to external aggressions and provides sensitive and dry skin with a real feeling of well-being.
