To have clear skin and a fresh complexion, it's essential to find a beauty routine that's right for your skin... and to know how to adapt it! Because yes, a beauty routine is a bit like a relationship: it needs to be observed, maintained, and spiced up. But when should you change your cosmetic habits? And above all, why is it necessary? Today, PAYOT is giving you the keys to a lasting cosmetic relationship. In the world of cosmetics, there are two schools of thought: those who like to change their skincare as soon as their tube of cream is finished, and those who prefer to stay loyal to tried and true values "because you never know." Ladies, know that there are currently no rules on the subject. Indeed, the key is knowing when a product works, and when it's no longer suitable.
#1 Skincare routine, get rid of preconceived ideas!
Despite popular belief, skin doesn't get used to a treatment. Or at least, a treatment doesn't become less effective over time. If your favorite cream seems to be working less and less miracles, it's probably because the nature of your skin is changing... and therefore needs a new skincare routine!
Furthermore, if a cream doesn't work the first time you use it, or even after several days of diligent application, don't blame it! It's been scientifically proven that for a treatment to reveal its full effectiveness, a period of 4 to 6 weeks is necessary. The molecules that make up your favorite cosmetic treatments need time to reveal their full potential and have a lasting effect on your skin. Your treatment may even become more effective over time, in the long term.
So, even if some treatments have immediate effects, such as a lasting feeling of comfort or a healthy glow, we must learn to give our beauty routines a little more time to reveal their full potential.
Good things come to those who wait!
#2 Oh hello Spring!
Sometimes, even when our beauty routine is effective, we want a change. Yes, curiosity can quickly push us to want to explore new cosmetic territories. So, why not take advantage of a change of season to gently adapt your skincare routine to the new temperatures?
The return of the sun and the gradual rise in the temperature call for lighter skincare options that focus on radiance and hydration. This spring, like nature, give your skin a makeover!
The morning
Cleanse your skin with fresh water using the Gentle Cleansing Foam. Its light texture and generous lather will gently remove impurities accumulated overnight. After showering, spray a little of our Gentle Toning Mist on your face to counteract the harsh effects of limescale and oxygenate your skin.
Next, apply a cotton pad to the Radiance Toning Lotion to revitalize your skin and ensure a radiant complexion. This step will prepare your skin for the application of your favorite treatment: whether it's the creamy texture of the Adaptogenic Moisturizing Cream or the lightness of the Radiance Vitamin Jelly, choose a treatment that you'll want to apply!
The evening
Don't forget to remove your makeup with your Micellar Cleansing Water or Cleansing Oil for added comfort. Afterward, consider applying a serum before your night cream, which should be richer than your day cream.
For makeup, choose a light foundation with a UV barrier, such as the Tinted Radiance Cream SPF15.
