While you can use a single face
moisturiser for day and night, it’s
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. During the day,
it is imperative to also apply a broadspectrum
sunscreen.
Which type of moisturiser suits you is
personal – it’s worth getting samples to
try them out. Your skin therapist can help
you establish if you have dry, normal,
combination or oily skin. If your skin is
dry, you want humectants and ingredients
such as plumping lipids.
For sensitive skin, look for antiinflammatories.
For combination or oily
skin, you also want anti-inflammatories as
well as ingredients that prevent oil slicks
from breaking out. There are also firming
moisturisers to help with sagging tissues.
Formulations vary from emulsions
(water-based and better for oily skin)
to dense creams (oil-based, better for
dry skin).
