Why should I use a face moisturiser?
Your moisturiser is an essential part of your skincare and beauty routine. The right face moisturiser for your skin type protects sensitive skin, improves skin tone and texture, and helps reduce redness and imperfections.
Moisturising your face also helps to lessen a phenomenon known as transepidermal water loss - this is the water that your skin loses throughout the day.
Moisturisers serve to create a protective layer on the surface of the skin, locking in moisture and safeguarding against damage from external sources such as stress, sun exposure and pollutants. By utilising facial moisturisers with SPF, you are not only rehydrating your complexion but also shielding it from any potential damage.

How often should I apply my day cream or face moisturiser?
How often you should moisturise depends on your skin type. Typically, it is recommended to apply facial moisturiser twice a day: once in the morning with a day cream and again before bed with a night cream.
If your environment is cold and dry, this can lead to tightness or tension on your skin. Therefore, you should apply more moisturiser throughout the day. Also, if you do not pick a moisturising formula that includes SPF protection, make sure to wait at least 10 minutes for the cream to be absorbed before applying sunscreen.

How do I choose my day cream and night cream?
In addition to your cleanser and serum, your skincare and beauty routine should include two types of face moisturiser: a day cream and a night cream.
You should choose your moisturiser depending on your:
Skin factors - This includes skin age and skin concerns
Skin type - Is your skin dry, normal, combination or oily?
You should choose your moisturiser based on:
Day and Night - Your day cream should be enriched with SPF to protect against sun damage. Whereas night cream should feature a richer, more nourishing formula that will help the skin to recover while you sleep.
Other skin concerns - If you are prone to redness and skin dullness, Clarins Extra-Firming Energy Day Cream is enriched with organic kangaroo flower and organic mitracarpus extracts to smooth and firm the skin, while Clarins Nutri-Lumière Day Cream is enriched with active ingredients to fight signs of aging.

How do I update my skincare routine throughout the seasons?
As the season shifts, so should your skincare routine. During hotter months, a lightweight moisturiser does the trick. The cold and windy days of autumn and winter can be harsher on the skin, so you may want to switch to a more nourishing lotion and pair with our facial treatment oils for added hydration. For daytime creams in winter, rich balms or creams are great alternatives, whereas gels or fluids may be more suitable for summertime use.
How do I choose the best face moisturiser for my skin type?
Normal skin types can often feel neglected, but Clarins’ range of hydrating facial moisturisers offers solutions for every skin type: dry, oily and even moisturisers for combination skin. Have a look over our table for a detailed breakdown of moisturisers for all skin types from the Hydra-Essentiel range.
| Skin type | What consistency should I choose? | We recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | If you have normal skin, opt for a fluid moisturiser or one that is lightweight. | Hydra-Essentiel Hydrating Multi-Protection Mist Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream |
| Dry | A moisturiser with a balm texture is perfect for normal skin. This consistency is perfect as it’s soothing and hydrating. | Hydra-Essentiel Hydrating Multi-Protection Mist Hydra-Essentiel Rich Cream |
| Oily / Combination | Those with oily or combination skin should opt for a refreshing gel moisturiser or emulsion to avoid clogging pores. | Multi-Protection Mist Hydra-Essentiel Cooling Gel or Hydra-Essentiel [HA2] Emulsion |
Should I choose a moisturiser with SPF?
The benefits of a face cream with SPF are endless! It offers significant advantages for the skin, mainly shielding it from UV radiation that can lead to fine lines and wrinkles, dullness and uneven discolouration.
Your SPF should be at least SPF15 so you protect your skin from sun damage. Even on cloudy days, sun damage to the skin can occur when the sun isn’t shining.
For extra protection against sun exposure, Clarins’ face moisturisers all contain an Anti-Pollution Complex that shields skin from harsh environmental influences that can lead to premature signs of aging—an essential step in any good skincare routine.

How do I find the best moisturiser for cold weather?
As temperatures get colder humidity levels decrease, sucking the moisture from the air and in turn our skin. So it’s likely in winter months you’ll find that your skin is tight, dry and reddened. You’ll need a face cream for cold weather. Hydra-Essential rich cream is designed for very dry skin and will help to compensate for the weather and provide SPF so your skin isn’t damaged by the sun’s rays.
