FAQ for moisturiser for dry skin

• How often should I apply moisturizer?

  You should apply moisturizer twice a day — once in the morning and once at night after cleansing. For very dry or sensitive skin, you can reapply during the day whenever your skin feels tight or flaky.

• What’s the difference between lotion, cream, and gel moisturizers?

  Lotion: Lightweight and ideal for normal to oily skin. Cream: Thicker and best for dry or mature skin. Gel: Water-based, non-greasy, and great for oily or combination skin.

• Can I use the same moisturizer for face and body?

  Not always. Facial skin is more delicate than body skin. Use a facial moisturizer specifically formulated for your skin type and a body lotion for larger areas. Some versatile options like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream work well for both.

• Should I apply moisturizer on damp or dry skin?

  Apply moisturizer on slightly damp skin after cleansing. This helps lock in moisture and enhances absorption, leaving the skin more hydrated for longer.
