Finding the right moisturiser for your skin type makes a big difference in your skincare routine. It’s all about balance and discovering what works for your individual, and unique skin type, since no two skins are ever the same! Skincare needs and priorities also change according to the temperature, humidity, cold and sun so it is particularly important to do a seasonal skincare edit in your bathroom at the beginning of each season.
We recommend that a moisturiser should be applied every day, after cleansing — once in the morning and once in the evening, especially during colder, dryer months because they help to protect against harsh climactic fluctuations. And if you like to incorporate other products into your routine, after cleansing you should apply your serum first, then your moisturiser, an eye cream and your sunscreen in the morning. At night, the moisturiser should be applied after your serum also.
What is a skin moisturiser?
A moisturiser is a protective product and for this reason it helps retain and replenish moisture in the skin, increasing hydration and making the skin softer. Moisturisers may also eliminate dry spots, flakiness, and redness. Even an oilier or problem skin needs moisturiser, provided it has been formulated specifically to protect the skin without adding extra unwanted oil and shine.
A moisturiser can help keep your skin clear, smooth, and wrinkle-free in the future.
What are the benefits of skin moisturisers?
Moisturising reduces the chances of skin problems. Using the right kind of moisturiser for your skin can help maintain its balance of oil and water.
Moisturisers can reduce the appearance of other blemishes. Freshly moisturised skin has a healthy sheen, which can even out any existing blemishes. Alternatively, if you have an oily skin, there are moisturisers that keep the skin matte and fresh.
A moisturiser helps your skin stay young. The most sensitive areas of your skin – face, ears, neck, and chest need the most protection- the skin renews more often in these areas than any other area on your body, and it is exposed to the environment. This daily loss of skin cells and exposure to harsh environmental aggressors leaves these areas vulnerable to the dryness and the elements. Moisturising can help give your sensitive skin the boost it needs to repair itself and stay healthy.
Is moisturiser good for skin?
The purpose of a moisturiser is to prevent the loss of water in the outermost layer of our skin, the stratum corneum, but it also helps to prevent environmental damage to your skin as it acts as a protective barrier.
Using a moisturiser can help skin retain moisture, alleviate dryness, and protect against environmental or external factors.

As a side note: don’t forget to apply sunscreen daily! If you want to avoid premature skin ageing or skin cancer, please don’t skip your sunscreen. You can use a separate sunscreen after your moisturiser, or apply a hydrating sunscreen in place of your moisturiser or a facial moisturiser with built in SPF 30 or above. The trick is to apply adequately and consistently every day.
