Have you ever wondered if you're giving your skin the care it deserves? You're not alone! Let's dive into the world of day and night creams, and discover how to keep your skin glowing from morning to night.   The Moisturizer Myth Debunked If you think you can skip moisturizer because you have oily skin, you're not alone! Even so, that's not the case - even oily skin needs hydration! Oily skin is often dehydrated skin in disguise, and trans-epidermal water loss affects everyone - so, proper hydration is essential to keep skin feeling and looking supple and youthful.   Day Cream: Your Skin's Daily Defender Your day cream is your skin's first line of defense. Here's what to look for: Lightweight texture for comfortable wear Pollution-fighting ingredients (like our Really Radiant Moisturiser with plant-based microalgae) Quick absorption for easy makeup application    Night Cream: The Overnight Skin Savior While you're sleeping, your skin is busy repairing and rejuvenating itself. Skin regeneration can be up to three times faster at night! Here's how to maximize this: Choose a richer texture for deep nourishment Look for collagen-boosting ingredients (like the marine extracts in our Bright Night Intensive Cream) Apply to both face and neck    Day & Night Cream Duo So, although both day and night creams have goal to hydrate your skin, they can't be used interchangeably as they target your skin differently. A day cream will nourish your skin while keeping it protected against daily pollution, and a night cream will deeply hydrate you skin while addressing skin concerns.   Your skin deserves round-the-clock care, and now you know how to provide it! By understanding the unique benefits of day and night creams, you're well on your way to achieving that coveted healthy glow. Remember, skincare is a journey, not a destination.

As we welcome the shining sun and longer days, it's time to refresh our skincare routines. Let's explore how to nourish your skin throughout the season and restore a healthy-looking glow with these spring skincare essentials.   Oily Skin: Do You Really Need Moisturizer? Have you noticed increased oiliness and considered skipping moisturizer? That's not the best idea, as oily skin is often dehydrated and a lack of moisture leads to excess sebum production. This creates a cycle of oiliness and clogged pores. Instead, try using a balancing moisturizer or facial oil. Try our Hydra Intense Facial Oil with Abyssinian Oil - rich in Omega 3, 6 & 9 fatty acids to hydrate and balance skin. A couple of drops go a long way!     Addressing Dry Skin & Fine Lines Prolonged sun exposure and pollution are the number one causes of dry skin and premature skin ageing through the depletion of essential fatty acids, congestion, and collagen degradation. Our Seahorse Plankton+ skincare range was created with ageing skin in mind. The range is powered by two plant-based microalgae that one, protect the skin from pollution and two, promote collagen production. We love shifting to a gel-based cleanser that cools and calms skin in the summer months, then refreshing skin with a toner, and applying a lightweight but nourishing moisturiser that won’t feel heavy on the skin in the heat.   Travel Skincare Essentials The benefit of downsizing your kit with miniatures when you’re on-the-go is that we can pack much smarter and lighter, but also, they are a great way to try out the products before committing to a full-size. Our deluxe Seahorse Plankton+ minis are the perfect addition to your travel bag, and all you’ll need for an effective cleanse, hydrate, treat and pamper, wherever you are.   Sensitive Skin Whether you have sensitive skin generally, or your skin has been aggravated from the sun, we recommend opting for gentle skincare. When it comes to cleansing, look for a creamier cleanser that isn’t soap based like our cleansing bar which contains organic coconut oil to nourish and calm skin. It's also important when cleansing to avoid scrubbing or rubbing your skin. Ideally, use a gentle face cloth or reusable pads made from natural materials that won’t irritate skin, and gently pat your face dry after cleansing.   SPF Sun Shield It isn’t just for when the sun is shining, UV rays are present pretty much whatever the weather, so we need to ensure we are protecting our skin. UV light triggers excess melanin production within the skin to protect it from sun damage, which can cause uneven pigmentation and discolouration. Look out for broad spectrum SPFs that protect against UVA and UVB rays. Our Mineral Shield Daily Primer is great as a skincare addition to prime skin ready for the day. The formulation is completely biodegradable meaning it is safe for coral reefs and other ecosystems too. Most importantly, remember to always consult with a doctor for medical advice for further information on how to care for sun damaged skin.
