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 a spa 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 slide it over each eyelid for a few minutes. Then protect your skin with a day cream adapted to your skin type, which may contain a sun filter if the weather is nice.

In the evening, your skin has accumulated impurities, dust, sebum, etc.… It is also the time to remove make-up. Use cleansers or makeup removers and a night cream that is appropriate for your skin type.

The skin plays a barrier role provided by a thin horny layer and a hydro-lipid film on its surface. 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 by wiping it with your towel, and lastly, don’t do scrub-type treatments more than once a week.
