Cold, extreme heat, airplane journeys, friction of the skin against the ground or clothing... In short, in all situations where the hydrolipidic film (the skin barrier) risks being altered. All these formulas are enriched with lipids, which help to create cohesion between the cells of the stratum corneum and prevent water loss and drying out.
We apply the balm morning and evening, just where it pulls, or as a body milk (in prevention). If needed, we reapply during the day.
Some formulas are for use on the face and body, while others are reserved for the body:not all active ingredients are well tolerated by the fine epidermis of the face or can cause it to shine.
