The most important thing to know about desert climate is that there isn’t enough moisture in the air for skin to attract water molecules to stay optimally hydrated. This can cause skin to become quickly dehydrated and dead skin cells to build up, putting external skin aging in over gear. Enduring the desert heat, even just for a few minutes, triggers climate-specific biological processes in the skin that can result in skin’s moisture levels to become out-of-balance with either too much or too little sebum. It’s vital to switch to the Desert Day Cream to moisturize and nourish skin according to skin’s behavior in this extreme climate. In addition to your healthy skin routine, cleanse your face at least twice a day and exfoliate often. A facial mister can be helpful, too, but make sure to pick a brand made with French water as the water purity is most important (this is why Pour Moi is made in France — the water!).

Did you know that skin loses up to 25% of its ability to hold moisture in the harsh winter climate? The cold, dry air steals moisture from your skin, leaving it looking dry and lifeless. Indoor heat further robs the air of moisture, as do hot showers or baths. Keeping skin happy and healthy requires a smart approach to skincare—an effective regimen, the Polar Day Cream, and a few essential winter skincare tips. Layer a Serum under your Polar Day Cream to slow down moisture loss effectively, exfoliate regularly, opt for lukewarm water instead of hot, add moisture to the air with a humidifier, and use an SPF when outside for long periods.
