Moisturisers:
Select a moisturiser that suits your skin type but is rich enough to replenish the moisture barrier. Products containing ceramides are excellent as they mimic the skin’s natural protective barrier and help retain moisture. Glycerin, a humectant, draws water into the outer layer of your skin from deeper levels and the air.
We recommend The Skincare Company Hydrating Moisturiser, which is a luxurious moisturiser enriched with lanolin to penetrate the deeper epidermal layers, provide superior protection and create a moisture barrier. We also love their Body Lustre, a vitamin packed body moisturiser.
Hydrating Serums:
Look for serums with hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it an ideal ingredient for extreme hydration. Hyaluronic acid serums penetrate deep into the skin, providing intense hydration and plumping the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Natural Oils:
Oils such as jojoba, argan, and coconut provide a heavy dose of nourishment and have emollient properties that smooth and soften the skin. These oils are particularly beneficial for very dry skin, as they create a protective layer that traps water in the skin.
We love The Skincare Company Hydration Booster, which is an oil based booster that uses the highest quality rose-hip, jojoba and almond oils to quickly penetrate the deeper epidermal layers without leaving oily residue.
Soothing Treatments:
For skin that feels irritated or inflamed after exposure to saltwater or chlorine, products containing aloe vera or chamomile can be soothing. Aloe vera has cooling properties and helps to soothe redness and heal the skin. Chamomile is known for its anti-inflammatory effects, reducing irritation and calming sensitive skin.
Body Lotions and Butters:
Don’t forget about the rest of your body! Applying a body lotion or butter enriched with shea butter or cocoa butter can help restore skin’s smoothness and elasticity. These are especially good for areas that tend to dry out quickly, like elbows, knees, and heels. The Body Lustre is excellent for this!
Overnight Treatments:
Night creams or overnight masks that contain peptides and antioxidants can help repair daily damage and improve skin texture over time. These products work while you sleep to rejuvenate your skin and fortify the cells against future stress.
An epic choice is The Skincare Company Peptide Serum which contains 5 pro collagen peptides and other powerful actives. This support operates on multi-layers of the skin, providing both immediate and long-term results.
