A good cream is basic

If you notice your skin is well hydrated, comfortable and does not begin to show signs of age, you have been right with your cream and you do not need to change it. But…. If you don't feel comfortable, you start to see more marked wrinkles, etc., you could be in need of a change.

This is when the eye contour, serum and anti-wrinkle creams become necessary. Find out if you need to change your cream.

Protect yourself from the sun

The sunscreen is the best anti - aging cream by dermatologists, because it acts on the crucial stage: prevention.

A very common mistake is to stop using a sunscreen during the cold months, don't do it! In summer we always remember to put it on, but what will winter and autumn have that we relax a bit with this theme. Our advice? Put on your sunscreen every day.
