Guide to choosing the right moisturiser

It's important to take care of your skin to keep it healthy. After surgery, the skin becomes drier and dehydrated as a result of the dressings and products used during the procedure. By moisturising the skin, the cream promotes healing and helps to restore the skin's moisture balance, speeding up the healing process.

In addition, moisturising cream can relieve feelings of discomfort and tightness, soothing the skin and reducing any irritation. Finally, by maintaining good skin hydration, the cream can help to maintain skin health and achieve long-term aesthetic results, improving its appearance while delaying the appearance of the signs of ageing.

How do I choose the right moisturiser?

There are different types of skin, each with its own unique characteristics and specific problems. To choose the right moisturiser, it's important to know your skin's needs.

Oily skin

Oily skin has excessive sebum production, which can lead to dilated pores, unwanted shine and acne problems. Use non-comedogenic, mattifying products to regulate sebum production. Cleanse skin thoroughly with gentle cleansers and exfoliate regularly to unclog pores. Apply a light moisturiser to allow the skin to breathe.

Dry skin 

Dry skin lacks natural lipids, making it prone to flaking, tightness and premature wrinkling. It reacts easily to external aggressions, causing redness, irritation and feelings of discomfort. Intensely moisturise the skin with a moisturising cream for sensitive skin, containing active ingredients such as shea butter. Avoid harsh products and opt for gentle, non-drying cleansers. Use nourishing masks and oils to soothe and regenerate the skin.

Combination skin 

Combination skin has a combination of oily and dry areas, requiring a balanced approach. Use balancing products that target both oily and dry areas. Concentrate your cleanser on oily areas and apply a hyaluronic acid cream to dry areas. Clay masks can help regulate excess sebum.

So, each skin type needs its own facial care routine to maintain its health and beauty. Identify your skin type to find the right moisturiser.

What products should I use in addition to moisturisers? 

In addition to your moisturiser, there are a number of products that are beneficial for looking after your skin, particularly after surgery. First of all, using a cleansing milk removes impurities and residues accumulated during the day, keeping the skin clear. Toning lotions help to balance the skin's pH and tighten pores. Serums, rich in active ingredients, target specific problems such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation or acne. Masks, used once or twice a week, provide deep hydration, reduce inflammation and revive the skin's radiance.

Finally, don't forget to apply sunscreen every day to protect your skin from damage caused by UV rays. By combining these products with your moisturiser, you can maximise the benefits for healthy, radiant, protected skin.
