Moisturising is a crucial step in any skincare routine, and to achieve optimal results, it's best to apply it both in the morning and at night.
Moisturisers act as a barrier between our skin and the external environment, protecting our skin and helping to retain moisture and the benefits of targeted serums.
During the day, moisturisers work to hydrate and shield our skin from environmental stressors. At night, our skin undergoes a reparative and regenerative process, making it the perfect time to use a moisturiser that supports and nourishes the skin while we sleep.
By applying a moisturiser regularly, we can help to keep our skin healthy, hydrated, and rejuvenated.

When it comes to oily skin, there is a common misconception that using a moisturiser will exacerbate the problem by making the skin even oilier. In reality, oily skin still requires hydration and moisture to maintain a healthy balance. Skipping your moisturiser altogether can actually cause an oily skin to produce even more oil to compensate for the lack of hydration.
Therefore, it's important to choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser specifically formulated for oily skin to help regulate oil production and maintain a healthy complexion.
