Not Getting Enough from Your Moisturiser? Here’s What to Do

Not Getting Enough from Your Moisturiser? Here’s What to Do - SkinShop

We’ve all been there: your moisturiser feels great for a few hours, but by midday your skin feels tight, dry, or just not as plump as it should. The good news? It’s not you, it’s your moisturiser. If your skin’s craving more hydration, it might be time to rethink your skincare routine and upgrade to a formula that truly delivers.

Let’s dive into the key ingredients you should be looking for, the top products to try, and a few tips to ensure your skin stays hydrated no matter your skin type.

Key Ingredients to Look For

  • Hyaluronic Acid: A hydration hero that attracts water to your skin, keeping it plump and smooth.
  • Ceramides: Essential for strengthening your skin barrier and locking in moisture.
  • Peptides: Help boost collagen and improve skin texture, especially for stressed or sensitive skin.
  • Vitamin C: Adds a glow while hydrating and brightening the skin.
  • Botanical Oils: Rich in essential fatty acids, they soothe and replenish dry or sensitive skin.
