What is the difference between nourishing and moisturizing body care? The skin needs nutrients to stay healthy. Nourishing products provide the skin with moisture and nutrients. These two terms should not be confused as they are very different. Skin is well moisturized when it has sufficient water retention. Its dehydration can be environmental (cold, sun, pollution…) or related to a lack of water intake through diet. Even unsuitable cosmetic products can play a role. The skin then no longer acts as a barrier and the hydrolipidic film is damaged. Nourishing care products supply the skin with lipids to ensure the function of this barrier. They stimulate sebum production to ensure the cohesion of the skin cells. The amount of sebum varies depending on the skin type. Nourishing and moisturizing body care products should be part of your beauty routine. It is important that you apply the moisturizer first and then the nourishing skin care.
