Moisturisers are a bit like pizzas; you don’t necessarily need them in your life but your life will be greatly enriched if they’re part of it. Unlike pizzas, however, moisturisers can only make you look better. Despite what you may think, they’re a lot less greasy too. Powered by: Moringa extract, carnoisne, theobroma cacao seed extract, multi-weight hyaluronic acid and advanced UV filters
MOISTURISER – Heath London
As for hair care, coconut oil has pretty solid research showing that it can penetrate into the hair very well (better than mineral oil and sunflower oil) and it can prevent hair protein loss as well as combing damage. If you have problems with damaged hair, split ends, coconut oil is worth trying as a pre- or/and post-wash treatment. Labmuffin has an awesome blogpost explaining in more detail why coconut oil is good for your hair. Ideally, at least twice a day – once in the morning after washing or after shaving and once again at night, preferably just before bed, though reapply in the afternoon if skin begins to feel dry and tight. If you use a face serum apply your moisturiser after it and always moisturise after using a face scrub or face mask. In the future, I suspect all moisturisers will include a sunscreen as standard – well, those meant for the daytime anyway. Buying a moisturiser with a built-in SPF is a bit like paying that bit extra to be fully covered.
Will you be claiming the VAT back?
We’ve done the legwork and tested a range of moisturisers that promise to boost hydration and soothe any irritation. These are the best of the bunch: Benefits: Firms and boosts radiance whist instilling a sense of tranquility by taming the stress signals the brain sends to the skin CeraVe’s cult Facial Moisturising Lotion has been reformulated and now offers a more empowered and improved SPF50 UV protection; a step up from its previous incarnation with an SPF25. Created by a team of U.S. dermatologists, it harnesses a blend of humectants, emollients and 3 specific ceramides, a formula (it was discovered) that efficiently helps restore the all-important barrier without overpowering the skin. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, allergy tested and noncomedogenic it effectively protects from the damage caused by photo-ageing. A lightweight texture which contains anti-ageing wonder ingredient, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, vitamin E and niacinamide alongside the brand’s signature MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion Technology) which gradually releases the ceramide enriched formula over an extended period, guaranteeing regularly topped-up hydration. A kind-to-skin grooming icon in the making. Even your daily run can take its toll on skin. From UV rays to pollution, having that first barrier of defence is vital if you don’t want those fine lines appearing earlier than usual, and ‘brotox’ won’t quite make the cut. Not only do moisturisers prevent skin from drying out (a big concern in today’s centrally heated, air-conditioned world) they also help bolster the skin’s naturally protective lipid barrier (something that everything from pollution to daily cleansing can compromise) and, since dry skin tends to age faster, they can help slow the ageing process too. On a very basic level, though, they help keep skin looking and feeling healthy. Moisturise daily and you’ll avoid dryness, tightness, flakiness and itchiness and will future proof it for middle age and beyond.
Heath Oil Control Moisturiser for Men - A Face Moisturiser
For maximum performance you also need to choose the right moisturiser for your skin – which is where our carefully selected edit comes in. Whittled down from the myriad of moisturisers available to men, we’ve selected eight hydrators that offer something for every skin type and every wallet size – from value-for-money remedies for dry, oily and tired-looking to top-end anti-ageing heroes. Ultimate aim? Skin you can feel comfortable in. We’ve already mentioned moisturising essentials like glycerin and hyaluronic acid (which draws moisture to the skin and keeps it there) but other ingredients to look out for include: Vitamin C (which is great for brightening skin and reducing the signs of ageing); ceramides (which help bolster the skin’s natural barrier) and caffeine, which energises tired-looking skin.
What is a moisturiser and why do I need it?
It might be tempting to steal whatever your other half is using when it comes to skincare, but a moisturiser catered to your skin’s needs should be a staple in your kit (and it keeps you out of the bad books). Given that even small amounts of UV exposure – even in winter – can contribute to sun-induced wrinkles and age spots it’s certainly a good insurance policy against premature ageing. Look for moisturisers with an SPF of at least 15 and ones offering ‘broad spectrum’ protection against both the sun’s burning UVB rays and its ageing UVA ones. Needless to say, you don’t need to apply these particular moisturisers at night – no man ever suffered from moonburn. How much should I spend on a men’s moisturiser? Benefits: Delivers an intense rush of hydration that keeps working to build water reserves for up to 5 days The saturated nature of coconut oil also means that it is a heavy-duty-oil ideal for dry skin types. A double-blind research confirmed that extra virgin coconut oilis as effective in treating xerosis (aka very dry skin) as mineral oil.Another study found that coconut oil is more effective than mineral oil in treatingmild to moderate atopic dermatitis (aka eczema) in children. This multi-tasking daily face cream offers effective age defence with an invisible finish on the skin. Blessed with SPF 30 5* UVA protection, it’s an advanced formula that also protects you from damage caused by blue light and infrared rays. It’s formulated with moringa extract, a breathable film former that sits on the skin’s surface to provide exceptional anti-pollution defence; carnosine, a multi-tasking dipeptide that inhibits glycation reaction and keep skin protected from skin ageing; antioxidant-rich theobroma cacao seed extract, to mitigate the negative effects of blue light; and multi-weight hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture from the air to keep your complexion nourished and hydrated. Kind to skin and photo-stable, it also fends off pollution, minimises glycation and helps visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles; prohibiting future skin ageing.
