How to choose your moisturizer
Moisturizer is the last skincare step of your routine, before sunscreen in the morning. It keeps water in the skin and protects the skin barrier. Even oily skin needs it: without hydration, it can produce more sebum.
The right choice mostly depends on texture and active ingredients. In Tunisia, with the summer heat, many people prefer a gel texture during the day and a richer cream at night or in winter.
Benefits
- It hydrates and limits water loss.
- It strengthens the skin barrier (ceramides, panthenol).
- It soothes sensitive or irritated skin (centella, snail mucin).
- It leaves skin softer and more comfortable.
Which moisturizer for which skin type?
How to use it in your routine
Apply your moisturizer morning and night, after your serum, on your face and neck. In the morning, finish with sunscreen. On very dry skin, apply it while your skin is still slightly damp. At night, a thicker layer of Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream can work as a sleeping mask.

Precautions
On combination to oily skin, keep rich creams for the evening or the colder months. Avoid layering an oil and a heavy cream on the same night if your skin breaks out easily. Patch test on a small area if your skin is very reactive.
