Best moisturiser in Pakistan for all skin types

Moisturiser helps skin hold water and keeps the skin barrier comfortable. Dry skin needs it for comfort. Oily skin can still be short of water, so skipping it can leave skin tight and shiny at the same time.

In Pakistan, summer heat, humidity, pollution and constant air conditioning all pull moisture out of the skin, which is why a daily moisturiser matters in every season.

Look for hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which draws water into the skin, ceramides, which support the skin barrier, and squalane, which softens without feeling heavy.

Choose a lightweight, non-greasy texture if you live in a hot city, and add a richer cream only on dry areas if you need it. If your skin is sensitive, prefer simple formulas and patch test new products.

Morning: face wash, serum if you use one, a pea-sized amount of moisturiser, then sunscreen.

Night: face wash, serum if you use one, then moisturiser. Apply it while skin is still slightly damp.

Dermatologists recommend applying moisturiser while skin is still slightly damp and keeping showers to 5 to 10 minutes in warm water (American Academy of Dermatology).
