Why moisturise your face?

Your skin is your body's largest organ and its needs vary from day-to-day - so what's the easiest way to look after it without an extensive 18-step skincare routine? Well, moisturising! It's the quickest and most efficient way to tend to your skin as it's one of the most integral parts to your routine to protect it from internal and external factors. Without it, your skin may suffer with a lack of moisture, lack of skin barrier protection from environmental pollutants, and cause an excess of breakouts/skin problems.

Moisturiser helps keep the skin hydrated and refreshed, while allowing the skin glands to not have to work as hard to keep your skin healthy. It's also a great option if your skin is more oily/acne-prone, where finding moisturisers that are lightweight, oil free, non-comedogenic, allergy and dermatologist tested are important to look out for.

A version of a moisturiser for oilier skin types that don't want to wear too many layers could also be in a serum like our Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion Serum that has concentrated boost of skin-plumping hydration in a lightweight cooling formula. An important factor for all skin types to consider is looking for a moisturiser that aids with skin barrier protection. When the skin's barrier is disturbed, it causes transepidermal water loss which leads to a number of skin disruptions such as irritated skin, breakouts and eczema patches. So keep an eye out for ingredients like Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide like our Hyper Real SkinCanvas Balm™ this formula helps to hydrate and protect the skin barrier.
