BOOST YOUR SKIN'S HYDRATION BY COMBINING A MOISTURIZING SERUM WITH YOUR CREAM!

Face cream is an essential part of the skincare routine for both men and women, however its effectiveness can be increased tenfold by applying a serum specific to each skin type beforehand.moisturizing serumwill provide an additional dose of water necessary to maintain it within the skin's hydrolipidic film.

> A hydrating facial serum, a specific treatment:

Having become essential and present in many cosmetic brands, a serum is an ultra-concentrated facial treatment with a light texture and specially formulated to effectively meet a specific need: hydration, radiance, wrinkles, brown spots, redness, etc.

Presented in the form of a bottle or ampoules, amoisturizing serumcontains powerful active ingredients and has a very fluid texture that hydrates the skin and provides a boost of freshness. With moisturizing properties and enriched with specific moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, it provides all the benefits necessary for the skin to regain suppleness and comfort. It is a real solution to occasional or persistent signs of dehydration. In addition, applied before a cream, a moisturizing serum will boost the effectiveness of the cream applied subsequently.

> Moisturizing serum: Intended for what skin type?

Amoisturizing face serumis not formulated for any particular skin type. Indeed, all skin types, whether dry, normal, combination or oily, need hydration in order not to damage the skin's hydrolipidic film, which serves as a protective barrier against external aggressions. Using a hydrating serum is therefore the best solution to adopt within your beauty routine.

Aintense hydrating serumis intended for a skin condition: dehydrated skin. Seasonal changes, temperature drops, sun, pollution or even cigarette smoke are aggressive factors to which the skin is exposed on a daily basis. Dehydrated skin is weakened by these daily aggressions which can cause feelings of discomfort, tightness or fine lines of dehydration. All skin types can be exposed to these aggressions during the year and more particularly during the winter and therefore experience signs of dehydration. Mature skin as well as young skin, sensitive or even oily skin, can occasionally use a moisturizing serum to increase skin hydration. This helps maintain the amount of water necessary for the proper functioning of the hydrolipidic film.

To regain suppleness, elasticity, comfort and radiance, the use of adehydrated skin serumwill be your ideal ally! This hydration boost amplifies the benefits of day or night creams to recreate the skin's hydrolipidic barrier effectively and lastingly.

> Moisturizing serum: Is my dry skin dry or dehydrated?

Dry skin, which is a skin type, should not be confused with dehydrated skin, which is a temporary condition.

Dehydrated skin is characterized by a lack of water within its hydrolipidic film. The skin is more fragile and shows signs of discomfort such as dehydration lines, some slight irritations or even feelings of tightness. These signs are often located on the cheeks, however, after applying aconcentrated hydrating serumand a suitable cream, it regains comfort and softness throughout the day.

Dry skin, on the other hand, lacks water but also oil. It does not produce enough lipids and is unable to retain water within the hydrolipidic film. The skin is rough, uncomfortable and has fine cracks all over the face as well as permanent tightness. The use of anutrient serumwill then be more judicious and more suited to this type of skin which requires nourishing active ingredients.

> Using a moisturizing serum, care for dehydrated skin

It is a treatment that is used in small quantities morning and/or evening on the entire face and neck after cleansing the skin.

It can be part of your daily routine or used as a treatment over a given period, when you feel discomfort or tightness.

Please note that a serum does not replace the application of a cream; it complements and increases its effects tenfold. Furthermore, using a skincare product containing alcohol will further dry out the skin.

> The routine for dehydrated skin:

The steps of applying amoisturizing serum:

• Remove makeup and cleanse your face thoroughly to remove all traces of makeup.
• Once you have finished removing your makeup and cleansing, dry your face and apply your usual lotion.
• Take a few drops of the serum using the pipette and then warm them in the palm of your hands.
• Apply the product to the entire face and neck using light circular movements and tapping with your fingertips to allow the texture to penetrate.
• Finish your routine by applying your day or night cream.

Once or twice a week, remember to exfoliate and use a mask to deeply cleanse the skin's pores and provide it with a significant dose of active ingredients.
