Use anourishing face creamwill help combat skin dryness. The skin's surface is made up of a hydrolipidic film formed by two phases: a part of "water" and another of "fat". It serves as a protective barrier for the skin to prevent the establishment of bacteria and microbes. The sebum present on the skin is essential for retaining water and ensuring natural protection of the skin. A nourishing cream is therefore essential when the skin's hydrolipidic film is weakened by a lack of nutrition.

> Who is anourishing cream?

A nourishing face cream is suitable for dry or very dry skin. The signs of dry skin are as follows and are felt all over the face:

• Lack of gentleness
• Feelings of tightness
• Itching
• Discomfort
• Roughness
• Dartre

Dry skin is rough and may have fine cracks all over the face or in specific areas, such as the cheeks and forehead in particular.

Anyone can be affected by dry skin, it can be genetic and last over a long period (chronic dry skin) or occur occasionally when the skin changes and evolves (occasional dry skin). During natural skin aging, the skin tends to become drier as the epidermis thins. It is then recommended to use acomfort nutrition cream.  

>Nourishing face cream: Distinguishing between dry skin and dehydrated skin:

- Skin is dry because it does not produce enough lipids, fatty substances which are necessary to maintain the hydrolipidic film.

It produces very little hydrolipidic film to maintain an acidic pH that is necessary for good skin health. This acidic pH helps prevent microbes and bacteria from penetrating the skin.

A lack of hydrolipidic film can lead to premature aging of the skin, thickening of the skin and vulnerability to external aggressions. Then turn to aintense nutrition creamto remedy this.

- Dehydrated skin presents discomfort but only on certain areas of the face (often the cheeks) and tends to have the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) which shines during the day. It is skin lacking water and not lacking oil. This is often a temporary skin problem due to external factors such as the environment, wind, sun, cold, temperature variations, showers or baths that are too hot...

This is easily solved with water-based creams, drinking large amounts of water or having a diet rich in water, mainly through fruits and vegetables.

Tip to know if the skin is dry or dehydrated: pinch your cheek lightly, if it does not return directly to its original shape it is because it lacks suppleness and hydration, it is therefore dehydrated skin. On the contrary, if to the touch your skin appears rough and/or has irritated areas (often at the bridge of the nose) it lacks oil, it is therefore dry skin that needs to be nourished.

Another tip: if your skin still feels uncomfortable or tight throughout the day after applying a moisturizing cream, this means you have dry skin, so you should use a nourishing cream.

> Treat dry skin with aNourishing Cream:

To remedy the lack of fat and lipid production, it is necessary to provide nutrition and not further attack the skin. It is necessary to avoid alcohol-based products and favor products with emollient, softening formulas such as milks or oils.

Anourishing face creamis a cocooning treatment that is creamier than other creams with a richer and thicker texture to soothe skin discomfort. It is often composed of oils or butters that will effectively restore the skin's hydrolipidic barrier.

You might think that only oils provide nutrition to the skin, but it's a subtle mix of water and oil that nourishes the skin. This subtle blend of water and oil present in nourishing creams allows the active ingredients to properly penetrate the skin to nourish and repair it effectively.
