The benefits of a good moisturiser

Have you found “The One” yet? You know, that can make you look and feel young again, makes you refreshed and looked after?

Chances are, probably not. Finding the ultimate moisturiser is like finding a needle in a haystack. With so many products at so many different prices promising you everything – where do you begin.

Firstly you need to realise what you want from your face cream. Aside from anti-ageing or blemsh reducing, you need a cream that makes your skin feel replenished each night after a day of exposure to the environment and wearing make-up.

During this stage don’t forget your lips since the skin over the lips is thinner than anywhere else on the face. According to Quinnesence, try and go for a strong emollient-based product each night to keep your lips plump and kissable the next day.

Don’t forget to hydrate the eye zone, but be sure to use a very light product which is designed for this.

Your choice of moisturisers should include natural ingredients with proven benefits such as shea butter, cocoa butter, aloe vera, jojoba, rosehip, ginseng, seaweed, and of course, pure essential oils. The use of active botanical extracts and oils has been shown to improve skin elasticity, texture, clarity, fine lines and wrinkles.

One final thought; your cleansing routine shouldn’t be reserved just for the evening. Cleaning make-up and daily dirt from your face is definitely important, but cleansing away the dead cells and pillow lint in the morning after waking up can be just as important before putting on new make-up for the forthcoming day.
