Do you wish to have healthy skin? Follow these tips to maintain and keep your skin healthy with the right moisturisers & how to get the best out of them.

How To Maintain Healthy Skin With Moisturisers

Learning how to look after your skin can sometimes come with trial and error. You might find a popular product that has everyone talking on how it makes their skin look, but when you try it, you don’t get the same effect. This is because our skin types aren’t always the same, and our skin has different ways of reacting to certain products. Getting healthy and glowing skin doesn’t happen overnight; it requires regular maintenance through an effective skincare routine and healthy eating plan.

Most people aren’t quite sure how to take care of their skin, and that’s perfectly okay; you learn as you go along. But not knowing what to do tends to make you try a bunch of things that can cause various skin problems. Looking after your skin doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s a common misconception that you need to spend lots of money, but this doesn’t always have to be the case. Dove has a mission to offer you quality moisturisers that will help you take care of your skin the right way.

How To Moisturise Your Skin

There are a few steps you can follow that can help soothe dry skin and add that lost moisture back in. There is no right or wrong way to moisturise skin; just that you do it effectively at least once a day. Make sure that you apply your favourite Dove body lotion to clean and fresh skin so that it can absorb all that nourishment quickly. Be sure to take lukewarm showers to prevent the hot water from drying out your skin, and try to wear comfortable clothes that allow your skin to breathe. All these little things can help to keep your skin beautifully moisturised.

The 5 Advantages for Sustainable Healthy Skin with Moisturisers

Moisturisers are more than just a product in your skincare regime, they offer so many benefits to your skin. Apart from the common fact that they keep your skin soft, there are some other surprising advantages to moisturisers. Let’s take a look.

1. Hydration

Sometimes you can just tell when your skin is parched and in need of some moisture; that’s where moisturisers come in. They’re formulated with skin-nourishing natural oils, aqua and other ingredients to really hydrate your skin. The secret to a glowing, moisturised skin lies in the quality of the product used.

2. Protection

Your skin is fragile and can burn easy from the sun’s harmful rays. When your skin is healthy, it also works as a barrier to protect you from germs. Having healthy skin helps you to stay safe, and look good while you’re at it. Using SPF helps you protect your skin from the sun, and using the right kind in line with your skins requirements will go a long way in protecting you from sun burn.

3. Brightening

Brighter looking skin takes time and patience to achieve. But, with the help of consistent moisturising, your skill heals quicker… allowing you to achieve brighter looking skin in just a few weeks. While hyperpigmentation and dark spots are not a bad thing and a completely normal process for some skin types, it can be reduced dramatically. Applying a great quality moisturiser daily can make all the difference.

4. Anti-ageing

When you moisturise your skin, you keep it looking young and fresh for longer. Great skin is often linked to youthfulness, and taking good care of your skin rewards you in that way. Until we find the fountain of youth, taking great care of your skin is the best option!

5. Glowing skin

Glowing skin comes from within; and using the right moisturiser consistently. If you ever feel like your skin is looking dull or tired, that should be a red flag that your skin is in desperate need of a pick-me-up and some good TLC. By using products that have quality ingredients, such as the Dove Body Love range, you’ll get closer to achieving radiant and glowing skin.

Which moisturiser to use for dry winter skin?

Depending on your skin type and sensitivity, there are different types of moisturisers that you can use on your journey to healthy-looking skin.

Humectants: these are products that contain hyaluronic acid or glycerine and provide moisture to your skin by taking moisture from the air and directly putting it into the outer layer of your skin.
Emollients: these are oil-based products such as cocoa butter and collagen that improve your skin’s texture by filling in the crevices of your skin to make it appear smoother and softer.
Occlusives: this is your petroleum jelly and beeswax that provides a sort of ‘seal’ over your skin to prevent your skin from losing moisture.

Which moisturiser to use for dry winter skin?

Loving the skin you’re in comes from treating it with love and care. Knowing what your skin type is can definitely boost your confidence and prevent you from making skincare mistakes again.

Oily skin: since your skin produces excess sebum, it is best to choose a light moisturiser such as the Dove Body Love Light Care Body Lotion for All Skin Types.
Dry skin: body lotions or creams with a sufficient moisturisation capability to deeply nourish and replenish your skin. Try the Dove Body Love Intense Care Body Lotion for Very Dry Skin to achieve soft, radiant skin.
Sensitive skin: if you have sensitive skin, it’s important to check the moisturisers ingredients to ensure it doesn’t have any triggers for your skin.
