Everything You Need to Know to Buy the Right Cosmetic Products

In pharmacies, beauty salons, and supermarkets, there is a staggering amount of skincare products. Buying a cosmetic product becomes a challenge, given the vast selection. A good cosmetic purchase is one that matches your skin type. There’s no need to collect skincare products!

Among all the products, it’s best to first choose healthy cosmetics with ingredients of natural origin. You need to carefully decipher the product composition and understand their purpose.

While some women know beauty terminology inside out, others don’t know the basics about products, which can lead to mistakes when buying. Cosmetics can truly help reveal beautiful skin. Here’s a little guide of definitions to help you make the right choice.

Skin cleansing products
Cleansing the skin is essential to keep the epidermis healthy. It accelerates cell renewal. Three products are useful for healthy skin:

- Exfoliant: To be used once or several times a week, depending on your skin type. Exfoliation is done in circular motions with microbeads and should be rinsed thoroughly.
- Micellar water: Loaded with micelles, this water allows for quick makeup removal with a single swipe of cotton. Micellar water is recommended for oily skin.
- Lotion, such as our revitalizing orange blossom water or gentle rose water: Ideal for finishing makeup removal, it eliminates the last traces for clean and healthy skin.

Essential products for a facial care routine
Whether for a pampering session or daily care, it’s essential to apply skincare products under makeup, as a protective barrier and to improve its hold:

- Mask: Adapted to your skin type, the mask should be applied once or twice a week in a thick layer and rinsed off, to hydrate or act as a blotting effect.
- Serum: Concentrated in active ingredients, it is applied under day cream to boost its effectiveness.
- Day and night cream, such as our Lumière moisturizing care: Day cream is a must before applying tinted cream or foundation. Non-greasy, it should absorb quickly into the skin. Night cream is richer for long-lasting action.
