Dry, oily, combination, sensitive, normal, or an amalgamation of all of the above – everyone’s skin is different, making it tricky to choose the right moisturiser. And what makes it even trickier is the sheer variety of lotions, potions, creams, and serums to choose from.
With a surge in natural products boasting organic ingredients, antioxidants, and anti-ageing and hydrating properties hitting the market, many of the options claim to be better for our skin and the planet – whether they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, handmade in the region, or housed in recyclable or reusable packaging. But which ones are worth investing in? The Gaggler video creator Emma Brain tried out three different moisturisers to see how effective they really are.
