There’s more to a facial moisturiser than just choosing one for your skin type. The main role of a day cream is to moisturise and protect your skin during the day. This can include ingredients that are more lightweight for faster absorption and ingredients that will form a protective barrier against the elements, whether it’s wind or UV damage.

Swap your products depending on the seasons and where you live as well as choosing something specific to your skin type. If you need sun protection, choose something from our dedicated natural SPF moisturiser category. You’ll find the SPF ratings will be lower than a regular sunscreen, but offers effective UV protection if you’re only exposed periodically during the day. We recommend choosing a dedicated natural sunscreen for the face for longer periods of exposure and ensuring it’s washed off well at night and followed by your night cream or serum.
