Face creams and gels

The main task of facial cosmetics every day is to moisturise, which is the basis of skin care. This is especially important when dry air, wind or air conditioning causes the skin to dry out on a daily basis. Depending on your preference and skin needs, this can be a specialised cream or an ultra-light facial moisturising gel.

Both skincare and make-up products should be chosen according to the condition and needs of the skin. Girls in their 20s need a gentle product that moisturises and smoothes the skin and makes make-up last longer. A lightweight moisturiser in the form of a cream or gel is ideal. For women over 35 with dehydrated skin, we recommend smoothing moisturisers. On the other hand, ladies 45+ with dry and lacking elasticity skin should bet on intensive moisturising, support of epidermal regeneration processes and firming.

Stress, lack of sleep and polluted air all contribute to premature skin ageing. These factors encourage the growth of free radicals on the skin's surface, which can cause hypersensitivity, excessive dullness, the appearance of imperfections and wrinkles, and a dull complexion. A day cream that addresses the needs of 21st century skin should:

• deeply and long-lasting moisturise, as well as support cell renewal processes;
• support the process of hydrolipid mantle restoration;
• create a protective barrier on the skin and help maintain optimal epidermal hydration;
• exhibit antioxidant properties.
