We are reminded that it is never necessary to zap the removal of makeup but with my skin very fragile, it is a real chore: I have cheeks on fire every time! Delia, 32 years old, Marseille

Decoding

Cleaning your skin every day is good . But the machine is well made and also able to protect itself! No need to "strike" the skin barrier , at the risk of destroying the precious lipids that cement it. Without them, it becomes permeable, the water evaporates, the skin dehydrates and tiraille. This also applies to the body: some areas that are already poor in lipids, such as the arms and legs, are aggravated by overly long showers and overly detersive surfactants of conventional washing gels. And that's how you end up with a crocodile skin and face to life!

The right attitude

First reflex, tap water is banned for removing makeup : instead we choose a micellar water or a milk-lotion duo , without alcohol of course. And always, in the last gesture, a misting of thermal water . Also be careful with the quality of the cotton used and rub gently! For the body, prefer organic shower gels , natural surfactants, or cleansing creams rich in moisturizing agents. It does not foam, but your skin will thank you. Gare finally to scrubs : once a month to eliminate the dead cells, no more! Prefer those that act by enzymatic action, to leave as a mask, rather than formulas containing abrasive grains.
