A moisturizer consists of a water phase and an oil phase. The water in the formula evaporates quickly, while the oil and fats are the surface moisturizers.
Our dermatologist recommends using aMoisturizing creamcomposed exclusively of vegetable oils or waxes in its fatty phase. These vegetable oils have a high affinity with cell walls and help preserve them. Conversely, mineral and silicone oils, derived from petrochemicals, have no affinity with our living cells and are likely to form an occlusive film promoting the formation of comedones.
Vegetable oils are very well tolerated by the skin, they penetrate easily and are full of active ingredients that are good for your skin (vitamins, Omega 3, Omega 6, antioxidants, phytohormones, mineral salts).
Choose a moisturizer containing plant oils suited to your skin type and then high-performance natural active ingredients that address your concerns.
