Day creams are available for all ages and for all skin types. But then, how do you know which treatment is suitable for your needs? We go around.
It is not always easy to find your way among all the day creams available on the market. Some are suitable for all skin types, others are more suitable for combination or oily skin, others for dry skin, still others for dehydrated or mature skin. How to make the right choice ? Which criteria to take into account? And how do you know if it is useful or not to take care with a protection index (SPF)? Explanations.
Determine your skin type
Several criteria must be taken into account when choosing your day cream. Starting with your skin type. But before knowing which treatments to choose, you still have to recognize if you have normal, combination, oily or dry skin. Normal skin don't tug, itch, or bite. In short, it is "comfortable" skin all day long. A simple moisturizing day cream is enough to nourish it. Combination skin, for its part, oscillates between normal skin and skin prone to acne. It can present imperfections according to the season, a change of mode or rhythm of life. It can be normal in some places and oily in others, especially in the T zone, understand forehead, nose, chin. This type of skin requires special attention, since it may be necessary to change the day cream depending on its evolution. Anti-blemish care is recommended for this type of skin provided that it is not too reactive.
As for oily skin, it’s certainly the one that is most easily recognized because it “shines” due to excess sebum. It may also be full of black dots. Contrary to popular belief, it is important to nourish your skin even if it is shiny. Opt for a moisturizing day cream designed for oily or acne prone skin.
Dry skin tightness, itching. It can peel or be irritated in some places. Be careful under these conditions, not to strip it because it risks even more to irritate it. Bet on nourishing and lipid-replenishing care.

Choose care adapted to the maturity of your skin
The age of the person is also an important factor when choosing their day cream. It is obvious that at 20, the needs are not the same as at 50. If, after adolescence, a light moisturizer is more than enough, with age, the skin tends to dry out. It is essential to feed her more. Do not hesitate, either, to opt for an anti-aging moisturizer as soon as the first wrinkles appear.

Change day cream depending on the season
The needs of the skin vary according to the seasons. The structure of the epidermis changes with the cold. The skin tends to let the water evaporate and therefore dehydrate. Tugging and a feeling of discomfort can then be felt. It is therefore essential to adapt your beauty routine: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate … If in summer, you must avoid "excessively overloading" the skin, in winter, you can go through several stages by applying a plumping hydrating serum then a cream richly textured balm that will deeply nourish your skin. Note that the environment in which you live plays a key role in the choice of your day cream. It goes without saying that if you live in a hot region, moreover, in summer, your priority will be to protect your skin from the sun. A day cream with an SPF protection index will therefore be highly recommended.
