Get to know all about Dermalogica Top 4 best-selling moisturisers! But first, let's take a look at why we need to use a moisturiser and what it does for the skin.
Why do you need to moisturise your face?
Moisturisers are designed to seal and protect the skin. To lock in hydration and to protect the skin from the outside environmental elements.
How do I know what moisturiser to use?
Here is a little guide for you!
We base the type of moisturiser you should choose on when you notice an oil shine during the day.
If you experience an oil shine:
- Before lunchtime: Look for a matte finish or oil-free moisturiser
- Midday/early afternoon: A oil-free moisturiser is perfect
- Late Afternoon: Opt for a medium weight moisturiser
- Never: Your skin will be thirsty for the heavier weight moisturisers
