The search for the perfect skincare routine can often seem like a lifelong pursuit. The skincare market is growing like never before, with even the most-coveted formulas changing as brands strive to be dynamic. While this ever-changing variety can be tempting, nothing comes close to the TLC some tried and tested moisturisers provide your skin.
As any dermatologist would say, a moisturiser is one of the most important weapons in your skincare arsenal. It not just delivers moisture, but also locks in everything you’re putting on your skin, from retinol and vitamin C, to hyaluronic acid. Of course, serums, essences, and sheet masks play their own part, but when it comes down to it, nothing beats a good moisturiser. Moisturising the skin maintains the skin barrier’s integrity and is essential for good skin health.
As winter draws closer, you might want to ditch the summer-appropriate lightweight gel for an ultra-rich cream that quenches your skin’s thirst. With endless innovative moisturisers, the hydration market is more abundant than ever, and there are products suited for all skin types and needs.
