Which anti-aging treatment to choose according to your skin type?
The anti-aging serum and the day cream are complementary, one does not replace the other.
Applied daily or as a cure, the serum is used before the anti-aging cream in order to increase its effectiveness tenfold.
Dry skin can opt for a thick texture that comforts and soothes them throughout the day.
An oil can also complete the evening routine.
Lightness is essential for oily skin: a serum followed by a moisturizing fluid or a light cream is enough.
As for combination skin, the ideal duo would be a serum associated with a light cream.
What are the benefits of an anti-wrinkle night cream?
In addition to a daytime anti-aging cream, beauty experts recommend applying a more concentrated and/or richer treatment in the evening before going to sleep.
The reason ?
It is during the night that the skin regenerates and begins its repair process, after defending itself all day.
Thus, during sleep, it best absorbs the active ingredients and has plenty of time to act in depth.
