Best face moisturisers for me

Moisturising is like the finale in your skincare symphony. It’s the last kiss of hydration your face gets before you step out the door and face the day. And, as each of us have entirely unique faces, ideally it’s in sync with your skin’s needs. Helping to balance oil and moisture, prepare and protect skin or even soothe dry, sensitive skin – whatever your skin type or concern, when you use the best face moisturiser for you, you’ll help your face look and feel like it’s reached cloud nine. So, what are you waiting for? Find yours now.

Explore our face moisturisers

Whether you’re a skincare devotee or a fuss-free slap on-and-go sort of person, your best daily moisturiser is likely the bathroom product that needs no introduction. Yes, it might be a little thing in your day, but it’s widely considered fundamental to all skincare routines. After all, a good face moisturiser has the power to help make a difference to how your face looks and feels when you’re out in the world, doing what you can to make it a better place, or simply soaking up its beauty.

Ironic, then, that a whole host of things out there in the world can sabotage supple skin – from the elements to the season – not to mention personal factors like age and skin type. So, making sure it’s moisturised with the best day cream will only help to counteract those potential effects. It could be tailored for a specific skin concern, infused with protective SPF or get its best work done while you’re in the land of nod. Regardless, all of The Body Shop moisturisers champion naturally inspired ingredients and help your skin to reflect your inner radiance, so you can shine on, superstar.

Compare by skin type

Think of this as your chance to match-make your skin with its ideal moisturising partner. Does your skin need help retaining moisture? Or balancing excess oil? Each of The Body Shop moisturisers is designed with just your skin type in mind, whether it is dry, oily, combination or normal. No doubt you’ll be over the moon when you’ve found the one. When you do, make sure you don’t stray. That’s because when you use products that aren’t meant for your skin type, it can play havoc with skin’s natural balance, creating new irritations and issues. And if you’re not sure what your skin is telling you, let us help you figure out your skin type with our handy guide.

Blemishes

Want to battle blemishes and restore harmony to your face? Our Tea Tree In-Control Hydrator helps skin feel instantly comforted, promoting clearer-looking skin. Don’t be wary of moisturiser – even oilier skin craves hydration, as much as balance. Over-drying formulas can make your skin more oily, leading to more clogged pores and, so, blemishes. Our best moisturiser for blemish-prone skin, enriched with Community Fair Trade tea tree oil, instead helps hydrate, purify skin and leave it looking less shiny.

Compare moisturisers with SPF

We get it – when the sun’s got his hat on, you might not always be donning yours. After all, the sun feels so good on your skin, right? Well, time for a tete-a-tete. Using a SPF is a must. Daily, no matter the weather. Overexposure to UVA and UVB rays from the sun can result in not just dried-out skin but skin damage. It’s easy to build SPF into your daily skincare routine with our range – The Body Shop SPF moisturisers are designed just like our other day creams, targeting your unique needs. A word to the wise – remember that using The Body Shop SPF face creams is no substitute for primary sun protection, particularly if you’ll be under the rays for the long-haul.

Compare night creams

Our bodies love rest at the end of the day taking care of others and the planet, but did you know that your skin loves your nightly shut-eye too? Our skin regenerates cells all the time, but it’s quicker at this marvel overnight. Skin also gets drier post-midnight due to natural water loss. Not the nightmare you may think for your complexion – if you counteract with The Body Shop face moisturiser. As skin is also more able to absorb moisturising products at night, it’s best to boost your beauty sleep and take advantage of skin’s reactivity by using a night cream (formulated just for your skin type, naturally). Free of the elements and all that can affect skin’s ability to hold on to moisture, your dedicated nighttime skin routine will help to keep skin hydrated while you sleep, so you can wake up to a brighter-looking face.
