Why Should I Moisturise?

TLDR is real, so we bring you a shorter version here 

Moisturising isn’t just skincare hype—it’s essential for healthy, balanced skin. Our skin constantly faces dryness, environmental stress, and irritation, which makes hydration a must. Even oily skin needs moisture to avoid overproducing oil and clogging pores.

• Soak It Up Moisturiser – Lightweight, non-comedogenic, and packed with antioxidant-rich oils for soft, supple skin.

• Rainforest Moisturiser – Ultra-hydrating with a rich blend of natural oils and soothing ingredients—perfect for dry, sensitive skin.

We’d be so surprised if you haven’t come across any social media influencer or advertisement or your friend groups haven’t given you any advice on using moisturiser. It’s a natural question to ask: is it really necessary? The answer is yes and here’s why! 

The largest organ of our body, our skin is constantly battling environmental stressors. Living in a dry climate or enduring the blast of radiant heat in winter can quickly strip our skin of its natural moisture. Some telltale signs being chapped lips and dry, rough hands. At its core, moisturising is about replenishing the outermost layer of your skin, a blend of oil and water, restoring its natural equilibrium. 

The benefits of a well conditioned, elastic and resilient skin are immense. For starters, it feels great! And this feeling isn’t exclusively for those with dry skin. Even those of you with oily skin can benefit greatly from proper moisturisation. For those with oily skin, adding the right kind of moisture actually helps to balance its own oil production. When skin is balanced, it stops overcompensating by producing excess oil, leading to a thinner sebum consistency and a reduction in clogged pores.

It’s true that clogged skin is a reality for everyone. Our goal is to minimise irritation and inflammation, paving the way for your most comfortable skin. We aim to combat dryness, moisturisation is specifically about locking in hydration to the skin. 

For those seeking to retain their skin’s natural hydration and promote overall skin health, Soak It Up Moisturiser is a great choice to consider. The unique blend of Jojoba, Apricot and Hemp Seed Oils creates a protective barrier, ideal for all skin types, including dry, sensitive and mature skin. It’s non-comedogenic and anti-inflammatory, meaning it soothes your skin while actively preventing breakouts. It’s enriched with powerful antioxidants like Vitamin E and polyphenols, neutralising free radicals and protecting your skin from oxidative stress, ultimately improving skin texture for a softer, smoother and more supple feel. 

If your skin is craving intense hydration, particularly during dry months of winter, or if you naturally have dry to very dry skin, the Rainforest Moisturiser would be your best friend. It provides your skin with the immense hydration it needs. Containing a beautiful blend of ingredients, including sunflower, jojoba, grapeseed and apricot oils, are all rich in essential fatty acids, to maintain your skin’s moisture balance and prevent dryness. With Vitamin E and grapeseed oil, it offers robust antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. The aloe extract and sweet orange essential oil provide soothing and calming properties, making it suitable even for sensitive or irritated skin. Its non-greasy formula ensures easy absorption without any sticky residue.
