The skincare ritual is a special moment of a few minutes a day that is essential for our skin. Did you know that Our skin works at night, it renews and repairs itself. This is why you need to adopt an evening skincare routine to have clear and soft skin. If our skin is poorly cleansed or not very well removed, it will age, become dull and wrinkles will appear more quickly.
This is why we have grouped together in this article the main steps to keep our skin healthy.
Makeup removal
This first step is tvery important especially if you wear makeup regularly. Indeed, makeup with sun protection (SPF), fatty substances, pigments can become irritating because they can clog pores and hinder the skin’s ability to breathe. Makeup removers help remove these substances. We recommend an oil-based cleanser rather than micellar water, which removes both makeup and impurities.
First remove your makeup from your eyes and lips, where the skin is thinner. Then the rest of your face with circular movements. Using a wipe or towel, remove the makeup remover + makeup mixture and rinse your face.
For gentle and natural make-up removal, Loesia offers you two make-up remover oils adapted to your skin type. Either for normal to oily skin based on jojoba oil or for dry skin with a reactive tendency, sweet almond oil is made for you.
Cleaning
After a long day at the office, on the road or in the shops, the face is constantly exposed to impurities, dust, bacteria and pollution. So you have to remove them to get a face that can breathe again. Using a special facial soap or cleanser. Avoid soaps that are used in the shower. Indeed, the skin structure of the face is not the same as that of the body and is more sensitive.
Take a cold saponified soap, a superfatted soap or a soap-free soap. Choose your cleanser according to your skin type. Choose products with ingredients of natural origin and avoid cosmetics with chemical substances because they dry out the skin.
Moisten your hands and create a lather with your soap. Spread the lather over your entire face (previously removed makeup), using circular movements. After a minute, rinse with lukewarm water and pat your face dry.
This step is essential for all skin types; once a day if your skin is dry and sensitive, twice for other skin types (morning just after waking up and evening before going to bed).

Activation and preparation
This step involves preparing and activating the skin twice a day to enhance the effectiveness of the
products that we will use below during the hydration step. Activate the skin’s self-defense power through messages to prevent the effects of aging.
– Activation of blood circulation and lifting of the skin: dynamically massage the cheeks with the fingers, always upwards.
– Lip lines: around the contour of the mouth, make small circles with your fingertips.
– The nasolabial fold: pressing with your fingers, start from the corner of the lips and move to the corner
internal part of the eyes along the wings of the nose.
If you want to use a roll-on and make movements from the center of the face outwards.
Hydration
This step is the most important and the last step of our care ritual. Indeed, as we told you In the evening, the skin is recharged, You must therefore apply beauty products that hydrate your skin without congesting it.. You should use cosmetics according to your skin type. For normal to oily skin, choose light textures, while for dry and sensitive skin, choose creamier products.
Also, adapt your products according to your age. No need to take anti-wrinkle products for people in their twenties and for mature skin take rich creams.
Focus on the Serum
They are rich in concentrated active ingredients. Often their texture is very light to facilitate its absorption.
Apply the serum gently, without rubbing so that the ingredients do not lose their effectiveness. Leave it on for a few seconds to a few minutes.
Focus on the eye contour
The skin around the eyes is one of the finest and most delicate, subject to signs of aging. Therefore, use a dedicated eye contour treatment taking into account your skin type and specificities.
Apply it by gently touching the bone, always from the inside to the outside.
Apply your treatments from the lightest to the most oily. Let your treatment absorb before applying the other.
Adapt the care ritual
Our skin changes over time, so we need to adapt our skincare ritual according to our needs. Here are some examples:
Dry and sensitive skin
Clean only at nightusing an oil-based makeup remover followed by a lotion or cleansing cream. Use the serum and contour morning and evening. Opt for day and night cream treatments or use specific creams if expression lines appear from the age of 25. To complete this routine, ideally use moisturizing masks once or twice a week.
Normal and combination skin
Double cleanse in the evening and in the morning only face soap in the morning. Use a serum and an eye cream from the age of 25. Moisturizing lotion in the morning and cream (in winter) or lotion (especially in summer) in the evening. Exfoliate once or twice a week.
Oily skin
Double up on nighttime cleansing and preferably opt for a facial soap that deeply cleanses and removes excess sebum. Contour and serum from 25 years old. Always use the lotion in the morning and preferably in the evening as well. Exfoliate several times a week and use deep cleansing masks.from
Mature skin
double cleansing in the evening and only facial soap in the morning. Always contour and serum, with anti-aging effect. Opt for nourishing creams rich in active ingredients that help smooth deep wrinkles. This routine would be perfectly completed if we did not forget to exfoliate the skin once or several times a week, as well as use masks with anti-aging power. An ideal option is the Intensive Revitalizing Face Mask with Pure Retinol.
