In the morning, when your eyes are still swollen or if you have kept track of the pillow: play the cold card. Wash your face with cold water or with a thermal spray. Cold water in the morning has the advantage of not attacking the skin as hot water tends to do.
If your eyelids are swollen, slip an ice cube into a tissue and gently glide it over each eyelid for a few minutes. Then protect your skin with a day cream suited to your skin type, which may contain a sunscreen if the weather is nice.
In the evening, your skin has accumulated impurities, dust, sebum, etc… This is also the time to remove make-up. Use cleansers or make-up removers and a night cream suited to your skin type.
Don’t attack your skin
The skin acts as a barrier provided by a thin stratum corneum and a hydro-lipid film on its surface. You must avoid breaking this skin barrier: do not wash your face too much (no more than twice a day) and always with products adapted to your skin type. Avoid hot water, dab your skin rather than rubbing it with your towel, and finally, don’t do exfoliation-type treatments more than once a week.
Oily skin is thick and shiny when it’s hot, with dilated pores and tends to produce acne (blackheads, red pimples, etc…). This type of skin requires care adapted to oily skin such as cleansing products for oily skin or creams for skin with non-comedogenic imperfections. Avoid touching your pimples as this often causes complications: perpetuation of pimples, scars, pigmented spots, etc…
Dry skin flakes and feels tight as soon as it is attacked (cold, swimming pool, etc…). Do not wash it more than once a day, rather in cold water with cleansing products for dry skin and moisturize it with rich textured creams.
Combination skin is usually oily in the center of the face and dry around the edges. It requires care for oily skin on seborrheic areas, called T-zone (chin, nose, forehead), and for dry skin on dry areas, that is to say on the rest of the face. However, combination skin must be cleaned like dry skin, that is to say with a mild cleansing product.
Sensitive skin is skin that feels tight, tingles, tingles, heats up and often tends to blush. It is a skin that is reactive and intolerant to many irritating factors from the environment such as heat, the sun or certain cosmetics. Sensitive skin only requires specific care for sensitive skin.

Avoid lack of sleep, tobacco, alcohol and eat foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Choose a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, prefer fish to meat, olive oil to butter or fresh cream… and above all, avoid pastries and sweets!
Protect yourself from the sun:
The sun is your skin’s worst enemy: it accelerates aging, i.e. the loss of skin elasticity and wrinkles, and causes the appearance of spots and redness on the skin, especially at the of the face, constantly exposed.
Avoid sun exposure and favor the shade, especially between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. in summer, wear sunglasses, a hat and covering clothes. Finally, apply sunscreen with a high index in summer and moderate in winter if it is sunny.
