Small, simple gestures that may seem insignificant have the power to sublimate your skin. Here are a few good habits you can easily incorporate into your daily routine to help you cultivate a skin-care routine that's kind to your skin and effective.

Cleanse and remove make-up every night

Cleansing is an essential step in ensuring healthy, radiant skin. Sweat, pollution and excess sebum accumulated throughout the day clog pores. By carefully removing make-up and impurities, you allow your skin to breathe and give it a few seconds of comforting massage.

Use gentle skin care products

When an imperfection appears on your face, your first instinct is undoubtedly to make it disappear with targeted skin care products that are often very harsh on the skin. To treat these imperfections, we offer effective, gentle skin care products that preserve your skin's natural balance without drying or irritating it. Your skin will be all the more radiant and comfortable for it.

Adopt a minimalist routine

If you use several products, your skin will be at a loss! The different layers applied create a cloaking effect that prevents the skin from absorbing the products, and the benefits of the latter are cancelled out. So avoid overloading your skin with too many products, and adopt a minimalist MAKESENZ routine with skincare products featuring simple formulas so concentrated in active ingredients that only a tiny amount is needed for them to be effective.

Be consistent in your routine

Changing products too regularly prevents your skincare routine from working properly. Consistency is the key to effectiveness. Give your products time to prove themselves by using each product regularly. It's important to let your skin get used to the new products you introduce for at least 3 to 4 weeks, the time it takes for a cell renewal cycle. Be patient and persistent in your skincare routine for long-lasting, visible results.

Sleep well

Sleep plays a crucial role in skin cell regeneration. Short nights encourage the appearance of imperfections and the dilation of pores. So give yourself enough time to sleep each night (between 7 and 9 a.m.) to allow your skin to repair and renew itself naturally.

Moisturize

Hydration is the key to healthier skin. Make sure you drink enough water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. By drinking at least 1.5L of water a day, skin is plumped, softer and more radiant, with far fewer imperfections or redness. Your skin is more elastic and your complexion fresher.

Adopt a healthy diet

A balanced diet is essential for radiant skin. Eat foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to nourish your skin from the inside out (fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits and green vegetables, dried fruit, dairy products, vegetable oils, etc.). Limit your intake of sugar, salt, alcohol and processed foods to prevent skin inflammation (acne, redness) and premature aging.
