If your skin feels tight, looks dull, or lacks that healthy glow, it may be dehydrated and in need of a hydrating moisturiser. Dehydrated skin often shows up as fine lines (especially around the eyes), rough texture, increased sensitivity, and a feeling of discomfort, even if your skin appears oily.

You might also notice makeup sitting unevenly or flaking, which is a common sign your skin needs more water, not more oil. Using a hydrating face cream can help restore balance and plumpness.

Remember, even oily or combination skin can become dehydrated. Incorporating a lightweight hydrator under your regular face cream can dramatically improve skin texture and comfort without feeling heavy or greasy.

Yes, you can (and should) layer hydrators with other skincare items like booster serums for best results. Start by applying products in order of texture, from thinnest to thickest. A water-based hydrator or serum should be applied first, as it penetrates the deepest. Follow with your hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.

If your skin needs extra nourishment, especially in dry or cold climates, you can finish with a facial oil or skin balms. Oils create a protective seal that prevents water loss and enhances the effectiveness of your face moisturiser.

Layering hydrating products correctly boosts hydration, improves skin texture, and maximises the benefits of your entire routine, making your skin feel soft, plump, and refreshed.

The best time to apply your face cream is twice daily, after cleansing and serum application, both morning and night. In the morning, applying your face cream helps hydrate and prepare your skin for the day ahead, so always follow it with a broad-spectrum SPF for essential protection. At night, using your face cream supports your skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes while you sleep.
