Step-by-step facial care routine

Tous les jours, la peau doit faire face aux agressions extérieures telles que le soleil, le froid, la poussière… En plus d’accélérer le vieillissement cutané, ces éléments peuvent causer des irritations et des imperfections. Apparition de rougeurs, perte de souplesse, rides, etc… la Maison de l’Argousier vous révèle les habitudes à prendre pour garder une peau saine et éclatante.

Like a plant that needs watering, the skin needs specific care. If you dream of looking radiant in all circumstances, it's essential to put in place an appropriate beauty routine. To pamper your face, however, there's no need to spend hours in the bathroom. Nor do you have to resort to a whole host of products. With a few simple hygienic gestures and some regularity, you'll quickly regain a luminous complexion and genuine peach skin!

Wash skin morning and night

Clean skin is the foundation of any facial beauty routine. Without it, you can apply the highest-quality cosmetics, but they won't work. Worse still, imperfections would only persist. That's why it's so important to wash your face in the morning, and never forget the evening! This first step removes dirt from the skin and prepares it for subsequent treatments.

Make-up removal

Make-up removal is an essential part of a good facial routine. Even if you don't wear make-up, you'll be amazed at how many impurities are removed during this step! Simply soak a cotton pad in micellar water. Its refreshing, watery texture is very pleasant in the morning and instantly restores radiance to the complexion. In the evening, opt for a cocooning treatment such as a vegetable oil. Sea buckthorn oil is suitable for all skin types and removes waterproof make-up without rubbing. Non-comedogenic, soothing and emollient, it's perfect for the sensitive area around the eyes.

Cleaning

Scrubbing

Cleansing is an essential part of the morning and evening facial care routine. However, don't use just anything, as this can dry out your skin. Opt for a very mild soap with a high proportion of natural ingredients, and ideally one that's extra-greasy if you have dry or acne-prone skin. If your skin is sensitive, a dermatological bar with an acid pH will provide a real sensation of comfort. To complete this ritual, don't hesitate to spray on a tonic lotion. In the morning, it eliminates excess sebum, while in the evening, it sweeps away the last impurities while neutralizing hard water. Why not make your own? Mix two tablespoons of cider vinegar and a small cup of mineral water in a spray bottle. Apply all over the face and leave to dry.

Scrubbing

Once or three times a week, include an exfoliation session in your skincare routine. Regular exfoliation is essential to deeply cleanse the skin and stimulate cell renewal. This prevents dead cells from accumulating on the skin's surface. The complexion is clear, the skin smoothed and ready to receive moisturizing cream. La Maison de l'Argousier invites you to make your own scrub with ingredients from the cupboard: a mixture of coffee, honey and sea buckthorn oil will do the trick perfectly!

Optimum hydration

No matter what your skin type or age, a skincare routine cannot do without meticulous moisturizing. Not only is well-moisturized skin more supple and plumper. But it's also guaranteed to delay the formation of wrinkles.

The serum

Make-up remover

Ultra-concentrated, the serum penetrates deep into the epidermis to release all its active ingredients without leaving a greasy film. For maximum effectiveness, La Maison de l'Argousier recommends applying a few drops to the face, neck and décolleté before bedtime, as the skin regenerates during sleep. How about a sea buckthorn oil serum? Composed of fatty acids and anti-aging vitamins A, C and E, these small orange berries help combat wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and loss of facial contours. They also help strengthen the hydrolipidic film, naturally reducing inflammatory reactions such as itching, pimples and dermatitis like eczema.

Moisturizing cream

A moisturizing cream is an integral part of your face care routine, morning and night. Acting as a protective barrier, it helps the skin to cope with the day and promotes its restoration at night. If you have combination or oily skin, you need a fluid consistency containing refreshing agents. If your skin is dry or mature, turn to a denser texture, containing more fatty substances. La Maison de l'Argousier offers you an organic moisturizing cream, free from controversial substances like all its products. Made in France using gentle techniques and not tested on animals, it delivers all its benefits, leaving skin soft and comfortable from the very first application.

Sun protection

Only dark clouds filter out all ultra-violet rays! In this context, using sunscreen in summer and winter alike is a vital part of your facial routine. Especially when you know that UV rays are the main cause of premature skin aging... They emit free radicals, which are harmful to collagen and elastic fibers. So you're less likely to see wrinkles and unsightly spots!

The mask

A step in the facial beauty routine that is sometimes neglected, the mask is nevertheless a precious ally in restoring radiance and vitality to your skin. Moisturizing, nourishing, soothing, purifying, brightening or firming, there's bound to be a mask to suit your needs! So treat yourself to a mask session once a week after exfoliation. Leave on for 10 minutes, then relax...

What beauty routine should you adopt for dry to very dry skin?

La peau sèche est une peau qui tiraille et présente souvent des rugosités et des rougeurs. Elle souffre de déshydratation et manque de souplesse et d’élasticité, ce qui provoque une sensation d’inconfort. Pour pallier ces problèmes, une seule solution : adopter une routine peau sèche pour hydrater et nourrir l’épiderme au quotidien. Pour une efficacité optimale, n’hésitez pas à inclure à cette routine des produits à base d’argousier.

How to moisturize very dry skin

For days when you want to wear make-up

In the morning, after cleansing your face thoroughly, refresh it with organic toner or eau végétale. Then apply La Maison de l'Argousier sea buckthorn moisturizer or anti-aging cream, before moving on to the make-up step.

For make-up-free days

Cleanse your face in the same way as when applying make-up, and apply a small amount of sea buckthorn oil (just a few drops are enough). This oil is light and won't leave your face feeling greasy, as it's easily absorbed. You can therefore apply it during the day. If you want to make it even lighter, you can mix it with other oils such as grapeseed and jojoba. However, it's best not to apply make-up afterwards, as it won't last long.

Daily make-up removal

Whether you've worn make-up during the day or not, don't skip the make-up removal step, which will remove all traces of pollution, as well as impurities that have accumulated throughout the day (even if you can't see them). Use a cleansing oil or lotion, followed by a toner or hydrolat for really dry skin.

How to optimize your dry skin routine?

Drinking water

There are a few simple steps you can take to reduce the minor worries associated with dry skin. First of all, drink enough water every day. It may seem obvious, but many women don't drink enough during the day.

Wash your face with care

When you wash your face with tap water, always apply a protective oil, such assea buckthorn oil, beforehand. As tap water is often very hard, it has a tendency to dry out the skin and sometimes even attack it. By taking this small step on a daily basis, you will intensely moisturize your skin and avoid these inconveniences.

To replace tap water and maintain a feeling of freshness, you can use a hydrolat, which has the advantage of cleansing and refreshing in a single step.

Why choose sea buckthorn products?

An ingredient with many benefits

Including sea buckthorn products in your morning and evening skincare routine will enable you to benefit from the incredible moisturizing and anti-oxidizing power of the oil, which is extracted either from sea buckthorn seeds or from the pulp of the little berry. It also has the added advantage of being very rich in beta-carotene, providing an immediate healthy-glow effect.

Sea Buckthorn oil is also recognized for its high content of vitamins A, C and E and essential fatty acids (omega 6 and omega 3), helping to deeply nourish the skin while stimulating cell renewal.

Finally, sea buckthorn is an ally of sensitive and irritated skin, and by including it in your natural routine for dry skin, you'll effectively limit feelings of tightness and other discomforts.
