Popular Q&A's for Moisturisers & SPF

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 support the appearance of healthy skin against environmental factors. Look for antioxidant-rich ingredients like Green Tea, Vitamin C and superfruit oils alongside hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid. At night our skin does most of its renewal so look for PM specific face creams and serums with actives like Retinol or Bakuchiol to help support the appearance of skin renewal.

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 support the appearance of balanced skin. Your ideal face moisturiser will help to support skin balance, strengthen the appearance of the skin barrier and control the look of 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 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 under your moisturiser daily.

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

Incorporate your face cream into your natural skincare routine, applying both morning and evening following a Vitamin C or targeted serum for your skin type for best results. Make sure not to overlook your neck, integrate a neck cream to help support the appearance of firmness beneath your jaw and above your collarbone. Complete your daily routine by pairing your moisturiser with a broad spectrum facial sunscreen designed specifically for delicate facial skin.

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 and serums are specifically formulated with concentrated ingredients to address the unique needs of this area, such as the appearance of fine lines and dark circles.
