Best Face Moisturiser for Radiant, Hydrated Skin

The Best Moisturiser For Your Skin’s Daily Dose of Love

Moisturising isn’t just a skincare step. It’s the hug your skin needs every single day. But with endless options out there, how do you find the best moisturiser that actually works for your skin type?

Whether you're dealing with oily skin, sensitive skins, or dryness, a reliable face moisturiser can be the difference between dull and radiant.

From supermarket favourites to luxury skincare saviours, the world of facial moisturisers has never been so exciting. But how do you pick the right one for you?

Why Moisturising Matters (Especially as We Age)

As we mature, our skin naturally loses its ability to hold onto moisture. This can lead to tightness, fine lines, and a compromised skin barrier. A hydrating face moisturiser can help to restore what time takes away, especially when it’s rich in ingredients like hyaluronic acid and shea butter.

These hydrating heroes work as humectants and emollients, drawing moisture into the skin and sealing it in. They also help soothe dry skin irritations, making them essential for anyone dealing with sensitive skins, dehydrated skins, or dark spots caused by inflammation or age.

What Makes the Best Moisturiser for Mature Skin?

When choosing a facial moisturiser, it’s about more than texture. Look for:

• Hydration-boosting ingredients - like hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter, and Kakadu plum

• Skin barrier support - ingredients like bakuchiol, vitamin C, and lemon myrtle that fortify the skin

• Gentle formulas – suitable for sensitive skins with no harsh chemicals

• Lightweight absorption – especially if you have oily skin and don’t want a greasy residue

• Dual-purpose benefits – either a seperate day and night cream or one cream that is hydrating  enough for both day and night routines

Reluminate’s Kakadu Plum Face Creams: Day & Night Nourishment

Your skincare routine should evolve with your skin. That’s why Reluminate created two distinct yet complementary moisturisers:

• Kakadu Plum Hydrating Face Cream (Day): Lightweight and fast-absorbing, perfect under makeup or SPF. This daily cream is formulated with nourishing ingredients like jojoba oil, shea butter, Kakadu plum extract, and lemon myrtle to hydrate, soften, and support your skin barrier naturally. Some customers love to us this both day & night.

• Kakadu Plum Dream Night Cream: A richer, more restorative formula designed to work while you sleep. Made with skin-loving ingredients like jojoba oil, shea butter, sunflower seed oil, and Kakadu plum extract, it deeply nourishes and supports the skin barrier overnight. Lemon myrtle and natural vitamin E help soothe and protect, making it ideal for dry skin irritations, dehydrated skins, and nightly skin repair.

• Pure Natural Facial Sunscreen SPF 50: A lightweight, skin-loving mineral sunscreen crafted for daily wear. Made with non-nano zinc oxide for SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection, this formula blends seamlessly into your routine while nourishing the skin with hydrating hyaluronic acid and brightening Kakadu plum. Gentle and non-greasy, it layers effortlessly over your morning skincare — the final step in protecting your glow, naturally.

Bonus Step: Lock in Moisture with Renewal Elixir Oil

For deeper radiant nourishment, add the Renewal Elixir Oil on top of your moisturiser. It contains a light lavender fragrance and essential fatty acids that form a breathable seal over your moisturiser. This finishing step enhances glow and helps with moisture retention, especially in colder climates or air-conditioned environments.

The Role of Moisturisers in Supporting Healthy, Resilient Skin

It’s not about reversing time - it’s about nourishing and protecting what you’ve got. Moisturisers help maintain elasticity, ease skin complaints, and make skin look refreshed and even-toned. For mature skin, it’s essential to use formulas that also address skin concerns like dark spots, uneven texture, or roughness.

Using a rich moisture-sealing cream at night helps support the skin while it naturally restores itself. If you're considering powerful creams or serums for signs of ageing, be mindful of harsh chemicals or ingredients that may irritate the skin. A nourishing moisturiser can create a soothing buffer and help maintain a resilient skin barrier.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Face Moisturiser

Apply your moisturiser as part of a step-by-step skin-care regimen:

1. Cleanse – Try the Snowflower Cream Cleanser

2. Tone – Balance pH with the Elderflower Facial Toner

3. Serum – Use the Revival Serum to target specific skin concerns

4. Moisturiser – Day or night, depending on your routine

5. Elixir oil (optional) – Seal in moisture and add radiance

6. SPF (daytime only) – Add UV protection to finish your morning routine

Why Natural Ingredients Work Best for Mature Skin

Natural botanicals don’t just hydrate – they heal. Kakadu plum, native to Australia, is loaded with vitamin C that helps fade dark spots and brighten dull skin. Shea butter and jojoba oil mimic the skin’s natural oils, so they’re better tolerated by sensitive skins and support a resilient skin barrier.

Meanwhile, bakuchiol offers the benefits of retinol cream without the irritation. It's safe to use in both day and night routines and helps with smoothing texture, reducing fine lines, and calming redness.

How to Choose a Moisturiser Based on Your Skin Type

• Oily skin: Go for lightweight, gel-like textures. The Kakadu Plum Day Cream is lightweight but not ideal for very oily and acne prone skin.

• Dry or dehydrated skins: Choose richer formulas like the Dream Night Cream. Look for moisture-sealing creams with shea butter.

• Sensitive skins: Seek gentle, fragrance-free options or formulas with calming botanicals like lemon myrtle. We have many happy customers with sensietive skin loving our reluminate beauty range.

• But everyones skin is different so its best to patch test first. Please reach out to me on  loretta@relumnatebeauty.com.au if you have very sensitive skin and would like to test a sample.

• Combination skin: Use the lighter Day Cream in the morning and the richer Night Cream for bedtime repair.

Many mainstream skincare products contain synthetic fillers or added fragrance that can disrupt the skin’s balance. At Reluminate Beauty, we keep things simple, clean, and botanical,  giving your skin exactly what it needs and nothing it doesn't.

FAQs

Q1: Can I use a face moisturiser if I have oily skin?
Yes. Opt for light, non-greasy formulas with hyaluronic acid or Kakadu plum.

Q2: How do I know if my moisturiser is right for me?
Your skin should feel hydrated and smooth without tightness, shine, or discomfort.

Q3: What’s the difference between humectants and emollients?
Humectants pull water in; emollients like shea butter seal it in and soften the surface.

Q4: Do I really need separate day and night creams?
Yes. Your skin’s needs differ by time of day. Day creams should be lighter and protect against stressors; night face creams should focus on repair.

A solid skincare routine includes a cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser, and optionally, an oil or SPF.
