A two-phase treatment for day and night
Serum is an optional step before 40. After that, it is highly recommended to apply one to boost the action of the cream. Just a few drops are enough to penetrate the epidermis.
During the day, the serum boosts the epidermis. It is applied under a fluid, non-greasy anti-aging or anti-wrinkle treatment. The goal is to hydrate, tone, and stimulate the restructuring of the epidermis, whose collagen production decreases due to aging.
The night serum can have a toning and revitalizing effect for the evening. It supports the skin’s rhythm, helping it to regenerate. Night cream is a rich treatment with active ingredients. In the morning, the skin is supple, firm, and glowing with vitality. Cleansing should be gentle with a simple lotion, to avoid stripping the skin.
Eye care
The eyes are often the first to show signs of aging. There are five mechanisms of aging around the eyes: dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, fat pads, and sagging. The eye contour is a delicate area, and its thin skin needs suitable products. If too rich or inappropriate, they can cause swelling or even eczema.
When removing makeup, it is important not to rub too much to avoid eye irritation. A biphasic lotion, with an oily phase and a watery phase, removes all traces of makeup, even a smoky eye. If your eyes are puffy, consider applying tea bags straight from the fridge or a soothing eye lotion with cornflower extract.
Eye contour care is applied from the inner to the outer corner of the eye, gently tapping to help the product penetrate. Light pressure helps stimulate blood circulation under the eye. Blood stagnation is the cause of dark circles and puffiness. The treatment helps to smooth the skin.
