Facial Moisturisers

Yes. Moisturising the skin on your face and body on a daily basis is necessary to maintain skin health. With age, production of molecules such as collagen or naturally occuring ingredients such as hyaluronic acid start to deplete, with the body not being able to make up for this depletion. If moisturisers for face are not used regularly, signs of ageing such as age spots, wrinkles, dull skin and more may tend to appear prematurely. Dry or Dehydrated Skin may also lead to acne-prone skin or blemishes and many other skin concerns. It is recommended that all skin types, including those with oily skin use a moisturiser daily, one that is best suited to they skin type. 

A face moisturiser should be used daily. The number of times you would apply a moisturiser to your face varies based on skin types, seasonality, skin concerns, and more. Skin types such as Dry Skin or those with dehydrated skin concerns are recommend to use a moisturiser daily, at least twice a day. Where as, those with Oily Skin types can apply a face moisturiser once a day at night in the summer season. However, it is important to keep you skin hydrated in winter irrespective of the skin type due to exposure to heaters or non-humid condition that may dry out the skin causing itchy-prone skin or flaking.

Choosing a moisturiser for face or any other skincare product is recommended to be based on individual skin types, skin concerns or skin needs. Using a face moisturiser for specific to individual skin concerns will ensure the best results. For example, oily and acne-prone skin types could look at implementing the Retinol 0.3 Anti-Ageing Night Cream in their skincare routine, dry skin types are recommended to use hydrating and emollient face creams such as the Emollience Rich Hydrating Moisturiser and the Triple Lipid Restore 242 Anti Ageing Moisturiser  is suitable to use for those with ageing skin concerns 

The short answer is, yes. But it is not recommended to use a Body and Neck Care on your face as the skin on your face and body are different. Skin on the face tends to be more sensitive than the skin on the body. Formulations used to develop body care products may be too harsh to use on the face and may not align with skin types, skin concerns or skin needs, likely leading to addition skin concerns. 

A face moisturiser should used on clean, dry skin after a face cleanser. If skincare routines include toners, serums or essences, the face moisturiser should be applied as the last step before sunscreen in the AM skincare routine and as the last step in your night routine. The best way to layer your skincare products is to start from thinner consisitency products, progressing into the thickest consistency of the products applied as the last step.
