Taking care of and moisturizing your skin is essential to keep it healthy and preserve its softness! The skin on your body is exposed to the same aggressions (pollution, friction, climate) as that of your face and needs a protective barrier to prevent dehydration, discomfort and maintain a supple and soft texture.

But then, should you moisturize your skin every day? Morning and evening? And what about moisturizing after showering?

For the TOPICREM laboratory, expert in dermocosmetic care, an effective beauty routine starts with good hydration. Our advice for enjoying hydrated and radiant skin!

How to properly hydrate your skin?

To know how to moisturize your skin, you must first ask yourself about the frequency of care ! Start by defining a routine adapted to your skin type, the climatic conditions you face and your lifestyle habits.

Dry skin: the twice-daily ritual

Dry skin is often tight and lacks lipids , which are essential for retaining moisture. For this type of skin, intense hydration is recommended twice a day , morning and evening.

Choose a moisturizing milk that is easier to apply all over the body. We are thinking in particular of the ULTRA-HYDRATING Body Milk , a real best-seller from TOPICREM ! Its ultra-concentrated** formula in moisturizing and emollient active ingredients, ultra-light, is easy to apply. It protects and moisturizes the whole family, from birth!

Normal skin: the subtle balance

Whether you’re looking for long-lasting hydration and protection, a pearly finish or a sun-kissed effect, our versatile formulas are designed to provide a skincare experience that is both effective and enjoyable .

How many times a day should you moisturize your skin?

The question of the frequency of moisturizing is a personal choice ... And the needs of your skin ! Trust your feelings: if your skin does not feel tight, it may be better to focus on a complete and relaxing routine just once a day.

However, the morning/evening balance promotes continuous hydration of the skin. It is also a good way to start the day gently… and end it beautifully!

Moisturize your skin while showering

Before applying your moisturizers, always start by cleansing your skin . Removing impurities and residue allows moisturizers to penetrate more effectively and better nourish your skin.

The benefits of morning and evening hydration

Moisturizing your skin morning and evening has many benefits . In the morning, a moisturizer protects the skin from daily aggressions. In addition, a product with SPF , such as MELA Ultra-Moisturizing Unifying Milk, provides essential double protection against UV rays and dehydration.

At night , the skin enters the regeneration phase . Using moisturizing products enriched with regenerating active ingredients, such as antioxidants, can improve this process , reduce the signs of aging and restore hydration .

When one app is enough

In some situations, especially for normal skin or in very humid climates , a single application per day may be sufficient. If your skin does not show signs of dehydration or discomfort , moisturizing in the evening after cleansing may be enough to maintain its balance.

The importance of moisturizing after showering: how and why?

After a shower , the skin rapidly loses moisture due to water evaporation. Applying a moisturizer immediately after showering helps reduce this transepidermal water loss by sealing moisture into the skin.

  • Improve product absorption


    Slightly damp skin absorbs moisturizing ingredients better . Humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can attract and retain water in the skin, improving deep hydration. This is especially beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin .

  • Strengthen the skin barrier

    Post-shower moisturizing helps restore the hydrolipidic film , a natural protective barrier that prevents irritants from penetrating the skin and retains moisture. This step is essential to prevent irritation , redness and feelings of tightness , especially for sensitive skin.

Moisturizing your body's skin daily is essential to maintain its health and appearance . The frequency and products used must be adapted to each skin type and environmental conditions. The TOPICREM brand has developed a range of moisturizing care suitable for the whole family.
