The cooler months can leave your skin feeling dry and lacklustre. But fear not, moisturiser is the simple solution to combat Winter's assault on your skin. In this guide, we will explore the art of facial moisturising to keep you looking radiant and feeling your best...
Choose The Right Moisturiser
Opt for a moisturiser best suited to your skin type and skin concerns. Preferably one with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or shea butter. These ingredients work wonders by locking in moisture and preventing dehydration. Hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration, ceramides strengthen the skin's barrier, and shea butter nourishes the skin and protects it against environmental damage.

Cleanse Before Moisturising
Before applying moisturiser, cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities. This step ensures that your skin is clean and ready to absorb the moisturiser effectively.
Perhaps you feel like your skin needs a good exfoliation prior to lathering on all that moisture? You'd be right because skincare ingredients can absorb up to 70% better to freshly exfoliated skin!

Moisturise With Upward Circular Motions
Once your face is clean and dry, apply a small amount of moisturiser using upward, circular motions. Extend this care to your neck and décolletage as well, as these areas are prone to dryness and also require hydration.
Consider A Pre-Moisturiser Boost
For an extra hydration boost, consider using a facial oil or serum as a pre-moisturiser step. These products penetrate deeply into the skin, delivering concentrated nutrients and moisture. For example the Biotulin® faceLIFT ampoules featuring short- and long-chain hyaluronic acid, as well as panthenol which makes for a great moisturising ingredient. Research has shown that it decreases transepidermal water loss.

Consistency Is Key
Make moisturising your face a part of your daily skincare routine. Moisturise in the morning and before bedtime to keep your skin hydrated and protected throughout the day. Consistency is crucial for maintaining healthy, nourished skin. and of course – don't forget UV-protection! Even if it's overcast, UV-rays can cause skin damage and premature ageing.
