There's a reason why moisturising became part of the cult routine for skincare enthusiasts worldwide. Moisturising your skin is an essential part of any skincare routine, and finding the best face moisturiser for your skin can be no small feat. With so many options to choose from, it's important you understand what makes a great moisturiser for dry skin, versus what's the best hydrating moisturiser for oily or combination skin. And of course, what's the difference between a day cream, and a night cream? A face lotion and a gel moisturiser?

What does a facial moisturiser do?


Moisturisers are the most commonly used skin care product around the world. Face creams and lotions provide skin with hydration, nutrients, and can also contain active ingredients that address specific concerns. A good moisturiser will secure moisture in your skin, and keep it hydrated and plump throughout the day or night. Although you may find efficacy from serums, treatments, toners, and facial oils, a moisturisers should always be your final skincare step that will complement your skincare routine.

What is the best face moisturiser?


The best face moisturiser is the one that works for your individual skin type! Those with dry or mature skin will prefer something a little more rich - and may even opt for a dedicated night cream with active ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid. Those with combination or oily skin will prefer something with a lotion, or gel texture during the day. Don't forget - the best hydrating moisturiser for day is one that contains SPF - because you'll need to protect you skin!


Is face cream for women different than face moisturiser for men?


There are some broad differences between men and women's skin - men often have larger pores and may be more oily, plus they often have to contend with facial hair! But this doesn't apply in all cases, of course - and people should use the moisturiser which suits their individual needs, regardless of their assigned gender.


I have oily skin, do I need a moisturiser?


Although oily skin types may not like the idea of using a moisturiser, have no fear, you simply just need to choose the right one for you. Gel-based moisturisers are ideal for combination/oily skin as they are lightweight, yet still provide the hydration that skin needs to flourish. Ideally, oily skin types should use lightweight formulas that contain hyaluronic acid and/or glycerin (and are usually oil-free) which provides the skin with vital nutrients, and encourages moisture retention without clogging pores. It's probably best to avoid oil-based moisturisers as they may be too heavy and leave a greasy/oily residue on your skin.  


My skin is dry, how do I choose the right moisturiser  for dry skin? 


Rich formulas that contain ingredients like shea butters, essential oils, hyaluronic acid and lanolin are best suited to dry/dehydrated skin. Not only will these face creams quench your skin's thirst, they will lock in moisture, ensure skin remains hydrated throughout the day.

Lovely light summer moisturiser

Light, almost gel-like texture makes this my ideal summer moisturiser especially on humid days. My skin likes this moisturiser and I find it absorbs quite quickly and keeps my skin soft and hydrated for the whole day. The rose scent is a bonus as I love roses.
