Whether your skin is desert-dry, an oil slick, or somewhere in between, moisturisers are a must-have to keep skin supple, so and healthy. But not all moisturisers are the same. Creams and balms tend to be heavier and richer, making them suitable for drier or older skin, while gels and lotions are light and hydrating for oilier or acne-prone complexions. We try five to help you find out which suits you best.
FACE
If you have oily or combination skin, try a gel-textured product. Lightweight and refreshing, this one locks in plenty of moisture thanks to ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate. An an -irritant complex makes it suitable even for the most sensifive skin.
Your skin dries out as you get older, forming fine lines. This intensive moisturising cream has a hydrating ingredient to diminish their appearance, plus macadamia ternifolia seed oil to soften and protect skin against moisture loss for plumper, smoother skin.
BODY
Suitable for itchy or dry skin, this quick-absorbing lotion has an oat complex to soothe, is fragrance- and steroid-free, restores skin to normal moisture levels, and lasts all day.
TIP: Warm up richer, thicker creams with your hands before applying them on your body, so that they glide on befier and can be absorbed faster.
