Moisturisers

Hot showers, humid environments and strong chemicals in skincare products are the common culprits of dry skin on the face. If your skin is flaking, itching, or feeling rough in some areas, it’s a sign that it’s not getting the moisture it needs. That means it’s time to start looking into a suitable moisturiser for dry skin.

You assumed that the only way to combat dry skin is to slather on lots of face cream, then we have news for you: it’s not! Too much moisturising can affect your skin’s ability to produce natural oils on its own. When your skin becomes too reliant on moisturisers, it stops producing sebum, leaving your complexion drier than ever.

While dry skin certainly requires moisture, there is a proper way to use moisturisers for dry skin without harming your skin’s moisture barrier. Use a lightweight day moisturiser in the morning and a restorative night moisturiser before bed. To apply, warm a pea-sized amount of face cream in your hands and gently distribute it evenly across your face and neck area.

Contrary to popular belief, dry skin doesn’t require frequent moisturising. All you need to do is apply a suitable face cream for dry skin twice a day. This is sufficient to ensure that your skin’s moisture levels remain constant throughout the day and night.

Ready to choose the best day and night moisturisers for dry skin? Look for one with moisture-replenishing botanical ingredients that are designed to nurture and nourish the skin over time.

Moisturisers also come in various textures, so it’s important to know how to select the best face cream texture for dry skin. Gel moisturisers are lightweight, while cream or balm moisturisers are slightly thicker in texture. Skin experts would recommend cream moisturisers for very dry skin, because creams provide a protective layer that locks in moisture and prevents dehydration.

If you’re concerned about ageing skin, look for a firming or restorative face cream for dry skin to replenish moisture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles or sagging skin.
