BEAUTY
You should always moisturise
morning and night, regardless
of whether your skin is on the
oilier side. This will help to retain
the skin’s natural moisture and
provide a physical barrier against
environmental pollutants. While you
can use one product, it is advisable
to use a richer moisturiser at night
as the skin absorbs products
more effectively while you sleep,
undisturbed by environmental
factors such as the sun and wind.
If your skin is dry, use products
containing humectants such as
amino or fatty acids or hyaluronic
acid, as well as ingredients such as
plumping lipids. For sensitive skin,
look for anti-inflammatories such
as green tea and Resveratrol. For
combination or oily skin, you also
want anti-inflammatories as well as
ingredients that prevent oil slicks
from breaking out such as HA and
niacinamide. Formulations vary from
emulsions (water-based, which are
better for oily skin) to dense creams
(oil-based, better for dry skin).
