Face lotions

Why is lotion a must-have in your beauty routine?

Facial toning is more than just a beauty routine; it prepares your skin to receive the benefits of nighttime and facial treatments. Applying a toner that's right for your skin type creates the perfect foundation for additional skincare, allowing your skin to regenerate more effectively while you sleep. Enriched with natural active ingredients, toners provide an essential first step in skincare to regenerate and address the specific needs of each individual. This nighttime ritual is important because nighttime is essential for cell repair and renewal, making toners a fundamental pillar in maintaining the radiance and health of your skin.

How to choose the right face lotion for your skin type?

Choosing the right lotion, such as a purifying lotion for dry skin, is crucial to optimizing your skincare routine. Whether you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, Payot offers personalized solutions to nourish and moisturize your skin. It's important to know your skin type to select the lotion that will be in harmony with your specific needs, providing a perfect base for your day cream or night cream. Having your skin analyzed by a professional or using patch tests can help determine your skin type. Opt for lotions containing ingredients suited to your skin type for an effective beauty routine. If you have dry skin, look for lotions enriched with argan oil; if you have oily skin, non-comedogenic formulas are ideal.

When and how should you apply your lotion to maximize its benefits?

It is recommended to use a lotion on clean, dry skin immediately after cleansing with your favorite cleansing gels. This tightens pores and allows you to fully benefit from their properties. Gently apply the lotion to your face and neck using gentle upward strokes to stimulate circulation and promote better absorption of the products. This step, performed morning and evening, helps maintain your skin's moisture balance and prepares it for anti-aging nighttime skincare. Be careful not to rub the skin too vigorously to avoid irritation. Use a soft cotton pad or your hands to apply the lotion, avoiding the eye area if your lotion is not specifically designed for this delicate area. Applying a suitable lotion before your serum, day cream, or night cream optimizes the effectiveness of these products by improving their penetration and strengthening the skin barrier.

What are the differences between lotions, toners, and essences?

Although lotions, toners, and essences may seem similar at first glance, each product has a specific role in your skincare routine. Lotions, for example, are specifically designed to hydrate and prep the skin, while toners aim to rebalance pH and tighten pores. Essences, on the other hand, are more concentrated in active ingredients and work to address specific skin concerns. Understanding these differences will help you choose the best products for your beauty routine. Lotions are ideal for lightweight hydration and improving the absorption of subsequent products, toners are perfect for post-cleansing purification and rebalancing, and essences target deep skincare with their rich formulas. Selecting beauty products based on your specific needs can transform your skin, making it more receptive to subsequent treatments, improving the overall effectiveness of your skincare routine and promoting healthy, balanced skin.
