Despite spending most of my teenage years avoiding moisturiser like the plague as I was scared that it would exacerbate my acne (a total myth, by the way, as oily skin can be dehydrated too) I have become somewhat fanatical about moisturiser over the last decade. While it wouldn’t be too much of an issue in my early 20s if I skipped my daily slathering of face cream, these days my face feels tight and dry post-cleansing if I don’t follow up immediately with a face serum and moisturiser—so it’s pretty much a non-negotiable. And while I’ve spent many years testing and trialling the best moisturisers for oily skin, now that I’m 35 I’m beginning to notice that my skin’s needs are changing.
Sure, I still deal with spots on a regular basis, particularly when my period is due (incidentally I rely on acne patches at this point) but these days it’s much more prone to dehydration, the skin itself is starting to feel less plump and firm, and the less said about how tired it looks the better. Thankfully, though, I’ve found a moisturiser that targets every single one of my concerns and I’m crediting it with keeping my skin in the best condition it’s ever been. In fact, it’s so good that my other moisturisers are currently gathering dust. Enter: the Naturium Multi-Peptide Moisturizer.
