Top 10 Benefits of Using A Face Moisturiser
There are numerous benefits of applying moisturiser to your skin. It can give your skin some much-needed hydration, repair your skin's natural barrier, and more. Now, let us look at the top 10 benefits of using a moisturiser:
1. Intense Hydration:
Daily exposure to heat, the sun, harmful UV rays, and environmental stressors can easily strip away the natural moisture from your skin, leading to skin issues like dryness, tightness around your skin, mild irritation, and more. A quality face moisturiser acts as a hydration powerhouse, infusing your skin with moisture and preventing it from evaporating throughout the day.
Using a lightweight and hydrating moisturiser packed with potent active ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid helps replenish your skin's moisture levels, giving that dewy, glowing, and radiant appearance you cannot get enough of. One such moisturiser from POND'S is the POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E that works like magic in restoring and locking hydration in your skin for straight 24 hours. Due to its lightweight and quick-absorbing texture, this moisturiser is suitable for all skin types and can be used throughout the seasons.
2. Locks in Moisture:
Harsh UV rays, environmental stressors, and uncertain climate conditions can be quite unforgiving on our delicate skin, leading to skin problems like moisture loss. A moisturiser forms a protective barrier to seal and restore natural moisture produced by your skin. Along with hydrating your skin, a moisturiser also helps create a protective barrier against external environmental stressors. Moisturisers enriched with Vitamin E and Glycerin like POND'S Fresh Glow Light Moisturiser With Vitamin E and Glycerin help attract and retain moisture within your skin for long hours.
If you are wondering 'how to apply a moisturiser?', let us help you. Just scoop a small amount of this moisturiser and apply it evenly all over your freshly washed skin. Use your fingertips to massage the product on your skin and that is required to achieve glowing and supple skin all day long.
3. Balances Oil Production:
Many people think moisturisers are only for people with dry skin. However, that's not true. In reality, a suitable moisturiser can help regulate sebum production, enhance the skin's natural barrier, and make it more resilient to environmental factors, making it an essential skincare step even for those with oily or combination skin types.
One good example of such a moisturiser is the POND'S Super Light Gel. It helps in maintaining a healthy balance between oil production and moisture levels in your skin without clogging pores.
4. Prevents Premature Ageing of Skin:
Fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots can prematurely age your skin. Regular application of a moisturiser enriched with anti-ageing ingredients like Retinol helps combat the signs of ageing. A good anti-ageing moisturiser will not only reduce the appearance of wrinkles but will also leave your skin looking youthful, plump, and radiant.
One such moisturiser that can help you fight the signs of ageing is POND'S Youthful Miracle Renew And Repair Day Cream packed with Hexyl-Retinol and SPF which helps to not only combat signs or premature ageing but also protect your skin against the harmful effects of UV rays.
5. Improves Skin Texture:
Lack of adequate moisture often affects the smooth texture of your skin. Most moisturisers contain essential fatty acids and humectants that work to smooth out rough patches, resulting in a velvety soft complexion and a better skin texture. You can use moisturisers like POND'S Fresh Glow Light Moisturiser with Vitamin E and Glycerin twice a day to keep your skin hydrated and fresh throughout the day.
6. Soothes Irritation and Redness:
Sensitive skin requires gentle care, and a suitable moisturiser can be a soothing balm. Whether it's caused by environmental aggressors or skin conditions like rosacea, a moisturiser provides much-needed relief, leaving your skin calm and comfortable. However, in case of extreme skin irritation or redness, ensure to consult a skin specialist before trying out any face moisturiser.
7. Strengthens Skin's Barrier:
A strong skin barrier is crucial to maintain your skin's health. Regular moisturising helps fortify this barrier. Using an intense hydrating moisturiser helps seal in moisture in the skin and prevent further water for long hours. This helps to strengthen your skin barrier and keep several skin problems at bay. If you find it challenging to maintain a skincare routine during day time, opt for intense night repair hydrating moisturiser like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Night Gel that makes your skin look plumped, fresh, and supple everytime you wake up in the morning.
8. Promotes Even Skin Tone:
We understand that uneven skin tone can be a source of concern, whether it is due to sun exposure or hyperpigmentation. A targeted moisturiser containing brightening agents and skin-tone-evening ingredients like Vitamin B3 helps fade dark spots and discolouration. One such moisturiser is the POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Spot Serum Cream with Niacinamide and SPF 15 and PA++ which not only moisturisers your skin but helps brighten it from within.
9. Boosts Collagen Production:
You might not be aware of the fact but collagen is the building block of firm, youthful-looking skin. Some moisturisers are formulated with collagen-boosting ingredients like peptides and retinoids. A great retinol addition to your skincare routine would be POND'S Youthful Miracle Night Cream With Hexyl Retinol which helps bring back the lost radiance, shine, and youthful appearance of your skin in just a few weeks. With the powerful combination of Hexyl Retinol, this moisturiser stimulates collagen production, reducing skin sagging, and fight signs or premature ageing.
10. Acts as a Primer for Makeup:
A well-moisturised canvas is essential for flawless makeup application. A quality moisturiser provides a smooth, hydrated base that allows makeup products to stay longer and blend seamlessly.
