Face Moisturisers For All Skin Types

Moisturising is the key part of any skincare routine. Moisturising creates a barrier on the skin to protect the outer layer from a range of extreme climate conditions such as cold and dry air. Moisturising can also help to rehydrate the skin and improve the skin's ability to hold water. Moisturisers are always best to be applied to clean skin after using a cleanser as the pores are open and ready to absorb the moisturiser.

Moisturiser FAQs

What is a peptide moisturiser?

Your skin produces firming, hydrating proteins in response to peptides, which are small and mighty amino acid chains. Peptides help boost collagen production, balance skin, and hydrate skin in these deeply nourishing, fast-absorbing moisturizers.

What are the three types of moisturiser?

In moisturizing, emollients fill in cracks in your skin barrier in order to create a smooth and soft skin surface. The role of humectants is to attract moisture to your skin's surface. They can be found in gel form. An occlusive moisturizer is the most intensive.

When is the best time to moisturise? In the morning or the evening?

The best way to prevent your skin from drying out post-wash is to apply a moisturizer after cleansing your face to ensure you are replenishing the moisture of the skin. It is also most effective to apply them to slightly damp skin since they seal in moisture. This may mean you moisturise twice a day, both in the morning and at night.
