Amazing benefits of moisturising daily.
A daily moisturiser is a necessary step in your skincare routine. It will have your skin feeling soft, hydrated and achieve that youthful glow. Who doesn't want that?
Why do we need to moisturise? Our skin is the largest organ of our body, it needs water inside and out. Without moisture, it becomes dehydrated and then cannot function properly. Dehydration can lead to fine lines and wrinkles, a dull complexion and dry irritated skin. So remember, it is never too early to start moisturising your skin.
What can a moisturiser do for your skin? Your moisturiser provides a barrier for your skin against moisture loss and environmental damage. It protects against bacteria entering the skin that causes blemishes or sensitive, irritated skin.
Our skin naturally loses moisture throughout the day and night. Many factors can attribute to this such as heating/cooling systems, diet, climate, water intake and pollution. Moisturising replaces the moisture lost, leaving our skin glowing, soft, supple and hydrated.
What are Antioxidants? Our moisturisers contain antioxidant ingredients that protect cells against environmental damage and sun damage. Ingredients like Vitamin E, kakadu plum, lilly pilly, davidson plum extract, jojoba and rosehip all help with oxidative damage caused by UV and pollution. Oxidative stress can damage cells, proteins and DNA that contribute to aging. Contributing to fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and inflammation.
Tips to maximise the benefits of moisturising
- Use your hands to apply moisturiser - But please make sure your hands are completely clean. The problem with using sponges, brushes and cotton pads is that they will absorb most of the moisturiser and your face wont get the hydration it requires. Also its wasting product and $$.
- Moisturiser is applied at the end of your skincare routine - Always cleanse, exfoliate and apply any other serums or oils prior to applying your moisturiser. This ensures that the moisturiser is absorbed easier by the skin, leaving a protective layer and restoring moisture loss. Don’t use too much and be gentle, you only need a pea sized amount of moisturiser to adequately hydrate. Always use gentle circular strokes to apply moisturiser, this avoids any irritation or damage to your skin cells.
And...remember to apply moisturiser to your neck and decolletage.
