At Grace, we believe in the power of three: cleanse, hydrate, and moisturise. Today, let’s shine a spotlight on that third step, highlighting why moisturising is such a crucial piece of your skincare routine.

If you have oily skin, you might wonder… ‘won’t a moisturiser make my skin oilier’? Actually, the answer is no! Using the right moisturiser for your skin type can help balance sebum production and manage excess oil. For optimal skin health, everyone should be moisturising twice a day, every day - no matter your skin type!

Here are three reasons daily moisturising is a must for every skin type:

1. Barrier protection

Using a high-quality, all-natural moisturiser boosts your skin’s resilience and strengthens its moisture barrier. Well-moisturised skin is better equipped to defend itself against environmental stressors, pollutants, and allergens, reducing the likelihood of damage and breakouts.

Plus, moisturising after cleansing, hydrating, and applying serums helps lock in all that nourishment and hydration goodness for maximum benefit!

2. Healthier, happier-looking skin

The goal is glowing, healthy skin, right? Daily moisturising could be your secret weapon to achieving that natural radiance. Proper hydration improves elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and helps maintain a youthful look by keeping the skin plump and smooth.

Had a rough night’s sleep? Prioritising your skincare routine in the morning can help keep you from looking it! Moisturising fights signs of fatigue, helping refresh and revitalise tired skin.

All Grace moisturisers are based on organic aloe vera and other calming ingredients that reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation - especially beneficial for sensitive skin. Consistent moisturising smooths and softens the skin’s texture, making it feel more even and silky to the touch.

3. Enhanced skin repair

Your skin naturally repairs itself overnight, and applying a moisturiser in the evening supports this process. Moisturisers with restorative ingredients like organic aloe vera and pure botanicals can calm and rejuvenate the skin while you sleep. Keeping your skin moisturised also aids in cell turnover and regeneration, helping to improve the appearance of scars, dark spots, and other imperfections.

Still not convinced? Here are a few bonus benefits daily moisturising brings to the table!

• Boosts the effectiveness of your other products: moisturised skin is better able to absorb other beneficial ingredients, helping serums and treatments work more effectively. Because we’re all using our Vital Skin Oils as the final step in our PM skincare routine right!
• Makes makeup application easier: a smooth, soft skin surface creates a better canvas for your makeup, giving you a more natural, even and long-lasting finish.
• Gives you an all-day glow: prefer a natural look or like to go makeup-free? Add a couple of drops of Vital Skin Oils to your moisturiser for a beautiful, dewy and porcelain-like finish that leaves you glowing all day!

So, don’t leave your skin high and dry - remember to moisturise twice a day, every single day!
