Importance of moisturisers during season transitions

When the season or weather changes, our skin condition often sees a drastic change, especially for those with more sensitive skin.

During warmer to colder temperature transitions, you’ll find that your skin tends to need more moisture to counter the dryer environment. A good moisturiser plays a vital role in the conditioning of the skin across seasons to ensure that our skin stays hydrated and glowing.

One way to soothe the skin is to ensure your skin stays adequately moisturised. Incorporating a moisturiser in your day and night routine helps to balance out the skin’s hydration and oil levels. Follow up with sunscreen in the day to keep your skin protected against UV rays.

💡Tip!

When the humid weather makes you feel sweaty and icky (especially for those staying in a tropical country), opt for a hydrating serum like Aqua Boost Serum 10. It feels so lightweight, but keeps the skin just as hydrated with 12 types of hyaluronic acid. Read about how our other real users feel after using Aqua Boost Serum 10 here.

Different skin types and what your skin needs

The type of moisturiser that is suitable for each skin type varies. Choosing the right moisturiser can help to condition your skin accordingly and provide your skin the right amount of moisture.

Those that are using a moisturiser that is not suitable for their skin will often spot dry, flaky skin, or even excessive oil production as the skin is overcompensating for the lack of moisture.

The very first step to finding your right moisturiser fit is to identify your skin type. Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Do you have breakouts often? 
    If yes, you most likely have acne skin. 
  2. Do you notice oiliness on your skin often? Which areas of the skin are shiny? 
    If yes, you most likely have oily skin. Those with oiliness on their T-zone area often have combination skin.  
  3. Is your skin flaky or tight? 
    If yes, you most likely have dry skin. 
  4. Do you have skin irritations often? 
    If yes, you most likely have sensitive skin. 
  5. Do you see redness? 
    If yes, you most likely have sensitive skin.

Moisturiser 6 or Emulsion A6?

For those with dry skin, Moisturizer 6 is the clear winner. It intensively moisturises the skin by locking in all the hydration, which gradually helps to balance out the skin’s hydration and moisture levels.

On the other hand, Emulsion A6 is a lightweight moisturiser that offers adequate moisture without feeling too heavy on the skin, making it suitable for those with oily skin. Our new and improved formula is formulated with Sophora Japonica Flower Extract for enhanced control on sebum production and the skin’s moisture levels.

The texture resembles a milky lotion, which feels especially refreshing on warmer and more humid days.
