Dry skin? Here Are The Best Creams To Moisturise Your Face

Whether it’s caused from the cold weather, or it’s something you battle all year,  dry skin isn’t fun.

When your skin is dry it can be easily irritated and more sensitive. Makeup doesn’t sit well and you may even find your skin breaking out, as the dry skin blocks your pores.

And where a good facial exfoliation is great for clearing away dead skin cells, you still need a good moisturiser to help protect it from all the stresses of an average day.

Finding a good moisturiser  can be tough, with many promising to deliver full day hydration and promote healthy looking skin, but they often just don’t deliver.

We’ve road tested up five of the best face moisturisers specifically formulated to keep dry skin smooth, soft and well hydrated.

Clinique Moisture Surge $60

Clinique have relaunched their Moisture Surge skincare products. The new formula of this 72-hour auto replenishing hydrating cream is outstanding. And before you ask why you would need a moisturiser that lasts 72-hours, even after washing your face, the intense hydration from this face cream still works deep within the skin cells to keep skin hydrated. This cream can also be used as a face mask for an extra hydration boost to the skin, making it great for travel too.

Beautiful Japanese makeup brand Shu Uemura have been branching out into skincare, and we are obsessed with their products. They smell amazing and leave skin feeling soft and looking luminous.
