Start the school year in style with our suggestions for fool-proof, must-have beauty products for your daily skincare routine.
Moisturizing Creams
If there's one step you shouldn't skip in the morning (even when you’re running a little late), it's moisturizing! Why? Properly moisturized skin shows fewer signs of fatigue and retains its natural healthy radiance all day long.
Which moisturizer should you choose? Go for a gentle formula that helps your skin retain water and resist the effects of sun, wind, pollution and dry air. And to make your life easier, choose a versatile moisturizer that can be applied both in the morning and at night. Products that have hyaluronic acid are particularly useful as they help your skin retain moisture so you stay hydrated for longer.
Make sure you choose a moisturizer that’s suited to your skin type. For oily or acne-prone skin, choose products that will prevent your skin from producing too much oil, and reduce the appearance of pimples. Or, if you have dry skin, try a richer formula that nourishes your skin deeply.

24H Moisturizing Cream from Marcelle: Hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free, this clean, gentle moisturizing day-cream blends the plumping power of hyaluronic acid with the soothing care of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It also contains lactic acid to help regenerate your skin.
Lip Balm
Whether it’s before a big presentation, on your way home from a dinner in the sun, or after a long day in class, it's nice to keep your lips soft, supple and moisturized with the nourishing and regenerating agents in lip balms.
Choose a tinted lip balm for an extra dose of radiance.

Thermal Water Sprays
The benefits of thermal water on your skin are no secret. Thanks to its trace mineral elements, thermal spring water is a precious addition to your skincare routine—perfect for soothing irritations and maximizing hydration with a quick spritz or two to your face or neck. Best of all, its refreshing mist is so fine that it will evaporate on its own, so no need to dry yourself off!
