Face Balm

The foundation of beautiful skin: face cream.

A good face cream is the basis of any skin care routine: it provides thirsty skin with moisture and nutrients, protects it from daily environmental stresses and supports cell regeneration.

What characterizes good facial skin care?

The ingredients: A good face cream or day cream should provide the skin with moisture and lipids in equal measure, because these support the skin's natural protective barrier and ensure a youthful and healthy complexion. In addition, a day cream should be enriched with vitamins and antioxidants that protect the skin and feed it with valuable nutrients. 

The formula: It is not only important which ingredients are contained in a cream, but also in which concentration. This is because face care products often contain cheap fillers – the wonderful active ingredients that are advertised on the jar, on the other hand, often only make up a minimal proportion of the formula. Here it is worth taking a look at the INCI list, which is arranged chronologically according to the proportion of active ingredients.

The additives: Controversial parabens, silicones, or microplastics should not be included in any high-quality face cream. Perfume and alcohol can also be considered critical, as they can irritate the skin under certain circumstances. 

How to properly use face cream 

The face cream can be applied to cleansed skin in the morning and evening. Night creams are richer creams that pamper the skin while you sleep and provide an additional anti-ageing effect. During the day, creams with a light texture are the ideal care, because they are absorbed quickly and do not leave a greasy sheen. Usually, a hazelnut-sized amount of cream is sufficient for your skin on the face. Do not forget to apply the care product to the neck and décolleté as well.
