Good hydration and gentle but thorough cleansing every day help maintain healthy skin. Quality skin care products, selected to suit your particular skin type, help protect facial skin from harmful external aggressions, such as the sun, heat, cold, pollution. They also help soothe skin in case of irritation, restore healthy skin and prevent the development of skin conditions.
A good facial treatment consists of four basic steps: cleanse, tone, care and protect.
Thorough cleansing is the first step in effective skin care. It removes impurities, sweat, sebum and makeup, and prepares the skin for treatment. Clean skin absorbs the active ingredients in skin care products more easily.
This helps remove all traces of cleansing product and refresh the skin, while restoring its natural pH.
Skincare products moisturize and regenerate the skin. Many of them also target and treat specific skin concerns.
Sun protection is important on days when your skin is exposed to harmful UV rays: this is the main cause of premature skin aging. Most day creams have an SPF of 15.
Your skin care routine should be done twice a day: morning and evening . The routine will vary depending on the time of day, specific needs, and the health of your skin.
An effective facial skincare regimen begins with gently but thoroughly cleansing and toning the skin to:
Remove impurities, perspiration, sebum and makeup, without drying out the skin.
Prepare skin for your facial care regimen. The valuable ingredients in facial care products are best absorbed when applied to clean skin.
Cleansing is especially important for acne-prone skin so that it can better preserve its natural balance and to facilitate the natural regeneration process.
How to cleanse and tone
A thorough cleansing is divided into two main steps: a cleansing gel or milk, then a toner. If you wear eye makeup, it is advisable to add a dedicated eye makeup remover in a third step of your cleansing regimen.

Eucerin recommends using alcohol-free products for most skin types. Alcohol-based products have a cooling effect, but they can strip the skin of its natural lipids. The skin can then produce too many lipids as it tries to replace the ones that have been removed. Alcohol can make dry skin even more dry .
Three-in-one products
Three-in-one products, such as micellar lotions, cleanse, tone and remove eye makeup in one go. Fat molecules suspended in water quickly and gently remove makeup. Micellar cleansers offer a convenient alternative to using three different products.
The Eucerin DermatoCLEAN [HYALURON] range of cleansing products includes a milk, a toner, an eye make-up remover and a three-in-one product. The entire range has been tested for sensitive skin and includes products for all skin types.
Skincare products should hydrate and replenish the skin. Moisturizing not only increases the amount of water in the skin, but it also helps protect and promote proper desquamation (the process by which the skin gets rid of dead cells), leaving the skin soft, smooth and comfortable. Many skincare products also target and treat specific skin concerns.
Specific skin concerns, such as skin aging and hyperpigmentation, can be effectively treated with complementary skincare products that contain a high concentration of active ingredients. These complementary skincare products are often available in the form of serums or concentrates.
