Facial skin tends to be much more exposed than the rest of the body and is therefore more affected by external factors such as weather, pollution and UV rays. In addition, this area of the skin is much thinner and more delicate, so it tends to dry out more easily.

This means that, compared to other areas of the body, the face is one of the first to show signs of ageing. This is why, to keep it looking smooth and soft for longer, we must resort to hypoallergenic moisturisers (to avoid irritation) that are very different from the ones we use every day for our body skin.

On the other hand, the famous T-zone (consisting of the forehead, nose and chin) has a much higher density of sebaceous glands than the skin on the rest of the body. Consequently, it is preferable to use moisturisers with light textures, which do not leave it looking shiny and with greasy residues.

One of the most recommended components when it comes to moisturising is Hyaluronic Acid, a substance found naturally in our skin that helps to reinforce the skin barrier by retaining water in the epidermis. Finally, we must not forget sun protection. The best firming creams have UVA and UVB filters that help prevent premature ageing caused by the sun.
