No matter your skin type, a good moisturiser is a must. Moisturisers are either humectants or occlusive ingredients, which means they work to absorb and lock in vital hydration that’s essential for the healthy-looking, dewy glow we all covet. Designed to reinforce and strengthen skin’s naturally protective lipid barrier, moisturisers can also help shield against, environmental stressors and even the sun’s rays. Skipping moisturiser in your daily skincare routine allows the plumping, skin-protective power of hydration to escape, leaving your skin vulnerable to dehydration and the factors that contribute to ageing.
So which moisturiser should you choose, when there are so many options? First, start with your skin type. Each skin type needs varying amounts of moisture, even oily skin. Then, consider the benefits you’re looking for: anti-ageing, mattifying, sun-protective, etc. To get you thinking in the right direction, below are a few of our favourites based on common skin concerns.
