The Benefits of Organic & Natural Moisturisers

Natural face moisturiser creams and balms are formulated to be a more occlusive layer that seals in your previous skincare steps, helping you maximise the benefits to your skin. Organic moisturisers help balance skin to prevent clogged pores, reducing acne, dryness, redness, and more. Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, natural moisturisers protect your skin from the elements, sun exposure, and pollution that can wreak havoc on your skin. 

We are often asked why you should make the switch to a natural and organic moisturiser?  Natural face moisturisers and balms are formulated with omega rich botanical butters, brimming with antioxidant laden oils and active essential oil compounds that work together in harmony to support skin health. Organic moisturisers are true multi-functional products. A powerful blend of  butters rich in omega fatty acids to protect, soothe and moisturise the skin barrier plus  botanical oils and plant extracts high in vitamins and antioxidants properties to fortify the complexion. Our skin loves the combination of these ingredients, free of synthetic fragrances and preservatives that can cause redness, inflammation and irritated skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis.  The greatest benefit of natural moisturisers comes from treating the skin holistically. Your complexion improves over time and skin concerns diminish. The result is strong and resilient skin. 

How & When to Use Your Natural Face Moisturiser

As with cleansing we urge you to be religious with your daily natural moisturising regime. Using a natural face moisturiser every morning and night after cleansing. 

After cleansing, we recommend a light botanical mist or toner,  then immediately apply your natural and organic moisturiser or balm. Using a natural moisturiser or balm that is right for your skin type, we suggest light circular motions as you apply the cream to your face, neck (don’t forget the back of your neck) and decolletage. Light pressure without the dragging on the skin a quick massage encourages circulation and tone of the face. 

Natural and organic moisturiser formulations contain a higher concentration of active ingredients that deliver results that you can see. By selecting natural face moisturisers suited to your complexion, you are using a potent formulation free from many of the emulsifiers, preservatives, fragrance, and texture-improving synthetic ingredients that are in many many mainstream beauty products. 

When to use your natural moisturiser in your skincare regime: Depending on the texture and formulation best suited to your skin type we suggest layering gel, light or rich cream emulsions over your treatment serum. Rich balms can be given a boost when layered before a decadent facial oil.

Not sure of your skin type? Here’s a few points to consider. 

Normal skin has a smooth texture, fine pores and is free of blemishes, does not show any visible oily residue or dry patches. Sebum production and moisture levels are well balanced. Use a natural and organic moisturiser with a texture to your liking to maintain and support your skin barrier. 

Dry skin looks dull and flaky especially on the cheeks and around the eyes. Your skin may feel tight or itchy. Dry skin can be prone to irritation, dry skin can look red or blotchy when you don’t moisturise daily. It may lack elasticity with accentuated fine lines or wrinkles. Dry skin can make makeup application difficult. Use a rich natural and organic moisturiser to lock in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL).  

Oily skin tends to become shiny or feel greasy before the day is over. Skin feels oily to touch in particular the cheeks, nose and forehead. The pores can be more visible or large and clogged, and you might be prone to acne. It is important to maintain hydration in oily skin by choosing a light and powerful natural face moisturiser that helps balance sebum production and reduce breakouts. 

Combination skin has both oily and dry areas, texture may vary from the cheeks to the forehead, or be a little oilier in the summer months and a little dryer in the cooler months, meaning it reacts to the seasons. Choosing a natural moisturiser formulated  to balance and hydrate your skin will help to improve your skin barrier and overall complexion. 

Dehydrated skin means that your skin is lacking water. It can be itchy and dull looking. Your overall tone and complexion may appear uneven, and fine lines can be more noticeable. Dehydrated skin is relatively easy to treat with the right products and lifestyle habits.

Sensitive skin tends to break out, is prone to redness or rosacea and reacts when you try new products. Sensitive skin can be prone to redness and rashes from the sun, prone to dryness, and reactive to temperature changes. Natural face moisturisers are perfect for sensitive skin as they help strengthen the skin barrier and restore resilience, reducing irritation and redness.
