How do you choose the right face cream?
Together with cleansing, face cream is the most important product you choose for your skin. Choose your face creams based on how your skin is right now, and which needs you want the cream to meet. Examples of needs might be reducing pigmentation, an anti-ageing effect, or perhaps you want a cream that soothes, softens and balances the skin. We often have several different needs, and fortunately most face creams have several qualities. You can also choose a day cream that meets different needs from your night cream, and vice versa. During the day, for example, your skin needs protection from the world around it: from the sun, pollution, free radicals and more. It is also important that your day cream adds moisture while helping the skin hold on to it.
The main job of a night cream is to nourish the skin and help it recover.

Choose your face cream by season and circumstance
Your skin and its needs are constantly changing – both throughout life and through the seasons. Special conditions call for special creams. For example, it is important to remember that:
Your skin should be protected with a cold-weather cream when temperatures drop below freezing
When you are spending a lot of time in the sun, the SPF in your day cream is not enough. Your skin then needs a dedicated facial sunscreen with high protection.
Red, irritated skin can be calmed with a soothing cream.
