Popular Q&A's for Face Moisturisers

1. What is the difference between a day cream and a night cream?

For the daytime, your skin will benefit from a lightweight, hydrating moisturiser to brighten and smooth the skin as well as help protect cells against environmental damage and the effects of free radicals. Look for antioxidants rich ingredients like Green Tea, Vitamin C and superfruit oils alongside hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid. At night our skin does most of its regenerating so look for PM specific face creams and serums with actives like Retinol or Bakuchiol to help cell turnover.

2. What is the best hydrating moisturiser for oily or combination skin?

If you have oily or acne-prone skin it is still important to keep your skin hydrated as this will help to regulate the natural production of excess oil. Your ideal face moisturiser will help to balance the skin, strengthen the skin barrier and control shine. Look for a lightweight formula containing ingredients like Aloe, Tea Tree, Jojoba Oil and AHA's. For extra shine control you can also add a Mattifying Primer or a dusting of the natural face powder during the day.

3. How do I choose the right moisturiser for dry skin?

If dry or dehydrated skin is your concern, opt for a hydrating face cream formulated with nourishing ingredients like Rosehip, Sea Buckthorn, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E. For those with sun damage try adding a Vitamin C serum or specific dark spot or pigmentation serum face serum under your moisturiser daily. 

4. What is the best way to use a face cream?

Incorporate your face cream it into your natural skincare routine, applying both morning and evening following a Vitamin C or targe

ted serum for your skin type for best results. Make sure not to overlook your neck, integrate a neck cream to help tighten beneath your jaw and firm the area above your collarbone. Complete your daily routine by pairing your moisturiser with a broad spectrum UVA & UVB sunscreen designed for the face.

5. Can I use my face cream around my eyes?

While many face creams are gentle enough for the delicate eye area, it's always best to use a dedicated eye cream or eye serum. Eye creams & serums are specifically formulated with concentrated ingredients to address the unique needs of this area, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.
