Moisturizing the skin of the body is one of those basic beauty gestures that we have been doing all our lives... or that we should have been doing all our lives. When we were little, our mothers insisted on the importance of applying lotion after the shower and we did it, thinking we were older by imitating the gestures of adults: starting from the bottom up, making circular movements and those little things that they had taught us.
But what we didn't know as children is that the transition to adulthood comes with a lot of rush, especially in the morning when we have to rush to work and both our breakfast and our shower ritual suffer . But putting cream all over your body is worth getting up 10 minutes early. Spreading it and allowing it to be absorbed will not take longer and the results are worth it: softer, smoother, hydrated, elastic and younger skin is waiting for you just around the corner.
Even so, taking into account that there are as many models of creams as there is practically the population in Paris, choosing the ideal formula requires a prior search that, far from being a waste of time, is a true long-term investment that gives us more than enough guarantees. to achieve dream skin. Now, information is always power and whether you are one of those who loves ink and want to take care of your tattoos , or if you want to find the perfect formula for stretch marks , or impregnate yourself with the best smell with a formula from a pharmacy or supermarket , there is a definitive guide and knowing it is nothing more than your right and our duty.
What should a cream have to be the favorite?
Although we are clear about the premise 'for tastes, colors', there are a series of key requirements that become fundamental when it comes to positioning a cream in the top sales: that it has a delicious floral aroma , that it is absorbed quickly , which includes glycerin in its formula because it helps retain moisture or contains essential oils to nourish the driest areas and shea butter that helps the skin to be much more flexible.
Where to find the best ones? Which one best suits our skin? Don't know which cream to choose? Don't worry, we have left you a selection of our favorites that are an absolute crush.
