Creams

Why use a body cream?

Skin is constantly subjected to external aggressors such as friction, temperature variations and exposure to the sun. The hydrolipidic film that forms the skin barrier and protects our body from the outside world becomes impaired. This results in imperfections and concerns such as dry skin, spots, itching, red spots and patches, tightness, etc.  

The role of body creams, just like face creams, is to reinforce the hydrolipidic film and provide the missing nourishment. This is a preventive measure against certain dermatological conditions which can be caused by dehydration, as well as against skin ageing.

As a bonus, body creams strengthen the epidermis for seasonal changes by reducing skin dryness, soothing after sun exposure and leaving the skin silky smooth
 

Which body cream should I choose?

The choice of body cream depends of course on the needs of the individual . Body care will differ for dry skin compared to oily skin on the back. Your imperfections and concerns also guide your choice of cream.

The Xeracalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream soothes sensitive and dry skin prone to eczema and itching (caused by skin dryness). Its fragrance-free and Sterile Cosmetics formulation minimises the risk of allergic reactions.

The Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is suitable for irritated skin, minor burns and scars.

If you’re in doubt about the right cream for you, do not hesitate to ask your pharmacist or dermatologist for advice.

Discover also other body care textures such as body balm and body lotion, all with specific actions (nourishing, enveloping, soothing, etc.).

If you’re planning to go out in the sun or simply take a walk in the sun, then replace your nourishing or moisturising cream with a sunscreen with a SPF 50.

How do you apply your body cream?

Body creams should be applied regularly, even daily, to clean skin. In other words, do it after your shower, morning and/or evening. Make sure you choose a shower gel that is suitable for your skin's needs.

To increase the benefits of the body cream, we recommend using a body scrub once a week.

Apply the moisturising cream all over the body, concentrating on rough or dry areas. Be sure to massage it gently into the surface of the skin to improve absorption and promote blood circulation.

Complete your body beauty routine with a fine spritz of soothing and softening, Thermal Spring Water before applying your body cream. This will enhance the effectiveness of your body care products.
