Day balm or night balm: which one to choose?
Both balms share a common characteristic: their solid texture melts upon contact with the skin. However, their place in a skincare routine is not identical. The day balm accompanies the skin before daily activities, while the night balm is used when the routine can be more enveloping.
Day Balm: Comfort and Simplicity
The Day Balm is applied after cleansing. Warm a small amount between your fingers, then massage onto slightly damp skin. Wait a few moments before applying makeup or sunscreen.
Night Balm: A More Enveloping Gesture
The Night Balm is the last step in the evening routine. It is applied after makeup removal and cleansing, adjusting the quantity to achieve the desired comfort.
Can a single balm be used morning and night?
A minimalist routine can sometimes rely on a single product, depending on skin feel and compatibility with morning routines. However, the two formulations allow for a finer adjustment of texture to the time of day.
How to find the right dosage?
- Start with a very small amount.
- Warm the product before spreading it.
- Apply to slightly damp skin.
- Add more only if your skin needs it.
If a film persists for a long time, reduce the quantity for the next use. The solid is concentrated: the correct dosage is often less than what one imagines.
What products can complement the balms?
The Eye Contour Balm targets this area with a precise application. The Hydration Boosting Serum complements a routine when an additional dedicated step is desired.
