Any questions?
Our experts have the answers.
Why is using a moisturizer important in skincare?
A moisturizing cream is essential to keep your skin hydrated, smooth, and resilient. Without adequate moisture, your skin can become dry, sensitive, and prone to premature aging. Using a moisturizer suited to your skin type can combat these issues, reduce fine lines, and provide a protective barrier. Clarins' Super Restorative Rose Radiance Cream, for example, hydrates and rejuvenates while offering anti-pollution benefits.
How do I choose the best moisturizer for dry skin?
For dry skin, choose a face moisturizer that deeply hydrates and nourishes, restoring the skin's natural barrier. Clarins' Nutri-Lumière Day Cream is one of the best face moisturizers for dry skin, offering rich hydration and revitalizing nutrients. Products containing hyaluronic acid also help plump and smooth the skin, reducing fine lines and promoting a youthful glow.
Sunscreen or moisturizer first?
If you're using separate products, apply moisturizer first to ensure your skin is hydrated before applying sunscreen. However, for convenience, a product like Extra-Firming Day Cream SPF 15 combines both moisture and SPF protection, making it an easy all-in-one step.
How often should I moisturize my face?
Most skin types benefit from moisturizing twice daily—once in the morning and once at night. For dry skin, you may need a richer moisturizer like Super Restorative Rose Radiance Cream, while oily skin may require a lighter option, like Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream. Adjust your routine based on the season and your skin’s needs.
What is the best moisturizer for combination skin?
Combination skin needs a moisturizer that hydrates without adding excess oil to greasy areas. The best moisturizer for combination skin is one that balances hydration without clogging pores. Clarins’ Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream is ideal for providing targeted moisture while leaving the skin refreshed and glowing.
Does moisturizer help oily skin?
Yes, even oily skin needs moisture. Skipping a moisturizer can lead to overproduction of oil, causing more breakouts. Choose an oil-free moisturizer, like Clarins' Multi-Active Day Cream, to hydrate without clogging pores. Proper hydration helps balance oil production and prevent breakouts.
Can I mix retinol with moisturizer?
Yes, you can mix retinol with a moisturizer to minimize irritation and enhance hydration. Apply a lightweight moisturizing cream before or after your retinol to maintain the skin's moisture balance and reduce the risk of dryness.
Does moisturizer help acne scars?
Hydrating the skin with a good face moisturizer can help improve the appearance of acne scars by maintaining skin elasticity and promoting healing. Products containing hyaluronic acid and vitamin C can assist in minimizing scarring over time.
