We explain what your skin needs and when.
Skincare is an increasingly relevant topic in our daily lives. With the vast number of products available, choosing the right cream can seem like a complicated task. However, with the right knowledge and a few tips, finding the perfect cream for your skin type is not that difficult.
Here are some useful and clear tips on how to select the best cream, adapted to your needs:
Know your skin type
The first step to choosing the right cream is to identify your skin type. There are mainly five types:
- Normal skin: Balanced, with no excessively oily or dry areas. It has a smooth, even texture.
- Dry skin: Feels tight and flaky, lacking necessary moisture.
- Oily skin: Constant shine, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). It is prone to acne breakouts and enlarged pores.
- Combination skin: A combination of oily and dry areas. Typically, the T-zone is oily and the cheeks are dry.
- Sensitive skin: Reacts easily to certain products, causing redness, itching, or irritation.
Knowing your skin type is crucial to understand which ingredients and textures are most suitable for you. Creams are specifically formulated to meet the needs of each skin type, so identifying yours will help you make the right choice.
Key ingredients according to your skin type.
Not all creams are the same, and the secret lies in the ingredients. Organic products, such as those in the SHINE and MOON lines, contain natural active ingredients that help hydrate and nourish the skin without the negative effects of harsh chemicals. Below, we tell you which ingredients are most suitable for your skin type.
Normal skin
Normal skin can enjoy a wide variety of products, but it is important to choose creams that maintain the natural moisture balance without overloading the skin. Ingredients like coenzyme Q10 and vitamin C, which you can find in the SHINE day cream, are perfect for keeping skin radiant and protected against free radicals. Additionally, this cream provides long-lasting hydration without a greasy feel, making it ideal for those seeking a fresh and light sensation throughout the day.
Dry skin
If your skin is dry, you need a cream rich in ingredients that deeply nourish and restore the skin's protective barrier. Natural oils, such as argan oil and Crambe oil, present in the MOON night cream, are excellent for providing deep and long-lasting hydration. These oils help keep skin hydrated for up to 120 hours, a significant advantage for those suffering from extreme dryness. In addition, MOON's moisturizing active ingredients like maral root extract and guggul not only nourish but also improve skin firmness and elasticity.
Oily skin
Oily skin needs light creams that won't clog pores, but will still maintain hydration. Ingredients like cucumber extract and coenzyme Q10 found in SHINE day cream are perfect for providing light hydration without causing breakouts. This cream is ideal for controlling excess shine, while protecting your skin from free radicals and external aggressors like pollution.
Combination skin
Combination skin needs a balance between hydration and sebum control in oily areas. Opt for creams that provide light hydration in dry areas without worsening excess oil in the T-zone. SHINE, with its balanced formula of antioxidants like vitamin C, is an excellent option for those who need to maintain a balance between hydration and shine control throughout the day.
Sensitive skin
For sensitive skin, it is essential to choose soothing products that do not irritate. Ingredients like Damask Rose, present in MOON night cream, are highly recommended as they help calm the skin, reduce redness, and even out skin tone. Furthermore, this cream is formulated without harsh ingredients, making it perfect for skin prone to irritation.
Texture: Light or rich, which to choose?
The texture of the cream is as important as its ingredients. Generally, light creams are more suitable for daytime, as they absorb quickly and leave no greasy residue. This is ideal for use under makeup or on hot days.
On the other hand, richer and more nourishing creams are perfect for nighttime, when the skin is in its regeneration phase. The MOON night cream, for example, has a denser texture that provides a feeling of comfort and freshness, perfect for nourishing your skin while you sleep. Its formula with orchid and orange plant stem cell extract acts overnight, providing a "lifting effect" that helps to redensify the structure of the dermis.
The power of antioxidants
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a cream is its ability to protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals and pollution. Antioxidants are essential for preventing premature aging and maintaining healthy skin.
Vitamin C, present in SHINE day cream, is one of the most powerful antioxidants. It helps neutralize free radicals and prevents photoaging, which manifests as wrinkles, spots, and loss of elasticity. In addition, SHINE's coenzyme Q10 strengthens the skin's natural defenses, protecting it from external aggressors such as pollution and UV radiation.
On the other hand, the MOON night cream contains punarnava extract, a powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin, evens out tone, and reduces spots. This cream not only nourishes your skin while you sleep but also protects it against environmental damage accumulated during the day.
Prolonged hydration
One of the main goals of any cream is to keep the skin hydrated. However, not all creams provide the same level of hydration. Natural oils, such as argan oil and Crambe oil, present in the MOON night cream, are ideal for those seeking intense and long-lasting hydration. These oils not only deeply nourish the skin but also improve its elasticity and protect it from the first signs of aging.
If your skin needs lighter, yet equally effective hydration, SHINE is the perfect choice. Its light, yet powerful, formula acts from within, activating cellular hydration mechanisms and preventing trans-epidermal water loss. With SHINE, you can enjoy hydrated and fresh skin all day long, without the heavy feeling that some creams can leave.
Day cream vs. night cream
Although some creams can be used both day and night, it is advisable to have a specific cream for each time of day. The skin has different needs depending on the hour. During the day, the skin is exposed to aggressive environmental factors, such as UV rays and pollution, so a day cream must protect it and keep it hydrated.
On the other hand, during the night, the skin regenerates and repairs itself. A night cream, like MOON, is designed to deeply nourish and support this regeneration process. Ingredients like orchid stem cells and guggul extract help redensify the skin, improving its texture and firmness while you sleep.
The importance of a complete routine
To obtain the best results, it is essential to establish an adequate and consistent skincare routine. The combination of a good day cream and a night cream is key to keeping skin hydrated, nourished, and protected 24 hours a day.
Start your day with a gentle cleanse and the application of SHINE day cream. This light cream will provide immediate hydration and protect you from external aggressions throughout the day. At night, after cleansing your face, apply MOON cream to nourish and regenerate your skin while you sleep.
Conclusion
Choosing the right cream for your skin doesn't have to be a challenge if you know your skin type and understand which ingredients are most beneficial for you. Organic creams, like SHINE and MOON, offer a natural and effective solution to keep your skin hydrated, protected, and radiant. Remember that the key is consistency and using quality products that respect your skin and the environment. Give your skin the care it deserves!
