Favourite moisturiser ?

For years I’ve used Liz Earle’s light moisturiser having combination skin. Now I’ve noticed I’m getting drier patches so think I need to up the ante

What’s your favourite ?

Neal's Yard Frankincense Hydrating cream...gorgeous, does a fabulous job, not the cheapest but you only need a little.

Re: Favourite moisturiser ?

Hi

The main ingredient in most moisturisers is water, that is what you are paying for.

Harvard Medical School, who do know what they are talking about.

For anti wrinkle creams,

I may have some fun on this thread, at least on a scientific basis.

One of my ex neighbours was a researcher in cosmetics, she had gorgeous skin and hair.

They do some nice products ruthio, as you say.

I have used some of their stuff, but I tend to stay mostly with
people called "Handmade Naturals." I love their stuff.
Nothing nasty, lots of herbs, no parabens etc.

Whatever's cheapest as long as it has minimum SPF of 15

Ah Nicol ... a girl after my own heart.

If it ain't on offer or only about a quid or two I don't buy it.

Cuticura with aloe vera and chamomile is a wonderful hydrator, as is Cyclax with aloe vera.
Never mind the wrinkles those two really make the skin feel better fed.

Re: Favourite moisturiser ?

I prefer to go for the old, tried and tested brands, Ponds, Nivea, Astral and Olay.
I use Astral or Nivea under my Liechner foundation. Ponds cleanser to remove my make up at night (every night! l have rarely missed) and either Nivea or Olay Night Cream.
I have tried some of the expensive brands but l usually get an allergic reaction to them. Maybe, they are too perfumed?

Re: Favourite moisturiser ?

I just use E45 cream for just about everything. Marvelous stuff. Don't try putting it on in big blobs and spreading it though as this will stretch the skin. Dab very small spots on gently with the tip of your middle finger. Then spread gently and leave it to absorb before doing whatever you normally do after. I even use it for removing make up.
