There are hundreds of day creams on the market, so finding the right one for you and your skin can be a little overwhelming.

We take a deeper dive into what makes day cream and moisturiser such an important step in your skincare routine and introduce you to the Super Facialist skincare heroes created with each skin type in-mind.

The importance of day cream and moisturiser

Did you know, while cleansing the skin is extremely important to remove dirt and daily impurities, the process often removes the hydrolipidic film?

This is a protective layer which covers the entire surface of the face (formed from a combination of sweat, water and sebum), which acts as an external protective barrier and maintains moisture.

Using a day cream helps to rehydrate and protect the skin, ensuring that the face is nourished at all times. It can also target a selection of skin concerns, due to the inclusion of potent, high-performance actives.

Finding the right choice for your skin type

Our editor Jo Hoare has already covered how to identify your skin type here.

Once you’ve decided upon your primary and secondary skin concerns, it’ll be much easier to choose a day cream to suit, especially with our collection of targeted Super Facialist products.

However, to make life a little easier, we’ve given a summary of each product and why it could be the right choice for you below…

A popular choice for 40+ skin due to it’s anti-ageing properties, the Super Facialist Retinol+ Anti-Ageing Renewing Day Cream sets out to tackle texture, firmness and wrinkles.
