Making sure your skin’s cells are fully hydrated is key to keeping your skin soft, healthy and youthful. While it is important to make sure you drink plenty of water each day, a specially-formulated face moisturiser will supply hydration while also working to protect your skin. For instance, an SPF moisturiser not only keeps your skin soft and supple, but it also protects it from the damage that can be caused by prolonged sun exposure.

There are many ways you can combat dryness in your skin. The first is to apply a face moisturiser night and day, to replenish any moisture you might have lost through exposure to air conditioning, cold weather or stressful situations. You can also apply a repair serum infused with hyaluronic acid, which will flood your skin cells with moisture overnight. A deeply hydrating night cream can also reverse any dullness and dryness. Find the best night cream for your needs by browsing Estée Lauder’s range of anti-ageing moisturisers and serums.

If your skin is prone to oiliness, choose an Estée Lauder oil-control moisturising gel creme to minimise shine throughout the day. An oil-free moisturiser will offer your skin hydration and protection, without giving you a greasy or shiny appearance. If you are also looking for a moisturiser that will reverse any signs of ageing, a skin tightening cream can reduce the appearance of pores, while keeping your skin cells healthy and plump.

A frequently asked skincare question is how to apply moisturiser on your face. Use your moisturiser after applying your cleanser and serum. Apply on clean, slightly damp skin for best results. You can warm the product between your hands and pat it onto your skin, then gently massage it in until it absorbs. Apply it all over your face and neck, morning and night.
