The weather in the UK is always a hot topic to talk about as it’s known for being unpredictable. If you live outside Europe, especially in Asia, you obviously get used to high levels of humidity. While in the UK, it’s completely the opposite. It’s cold and dry for most of the year with a little bit of sunny weather in summer for even a few weeks not months. This huge difference needs to be considered in your daily skincare routine. The main character of our today’s story is a well-known American brand for skincare and body care. I chose this brand in specific for a lot of reasons; high-quality products that receive positive reviews, tested by expert dermatologists based on lab research and budget-friendly. Are you ready to pamper your skin with right spectacular products?
Expertise Makes the Difference
The first thing you see in CeraVe website is this sentence “#1 Dermatologist recommended skincare brand”. Dermatologists noticed many skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin had one thing in common, which is a compromised skin barrier. CeraVe offers a complete line of skincare products that contain three essential ceramides enhanced with a revolutionary delivery system to help restore the skin’s natural protective barrier. Ceramides with Multivesicular Emulsion Technology (MVE) was the beginning of CeraVe. They have a line of skincare products with a unique blend of three essential ceramides, along with MVE technology. MVE is like a sphere with a series of layers that slowly dissolves to release the ingredients into your skin. The product works on hydrating your skin all day in just one use. This system with combination of skin-identical ceramides helps replenish your skin’s existing ceramides, relieves dry skin by reducing moisture loss, increases hydration and helps restore the skin barrier.
CeraVe Moisturising Cream for Dry to Very Dry Skin
This is a face and body moisturiser with hyaluronic acid and 3 essential ceramides. It’s your shield that protect your skin from the unstable weather conditions in the UK. This cream is a daily, rich and gentle absorbable moisturising cream formulated to lock in moisture and providing 24-hour hydration. As all CeraVe products, it’s a fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, which make it suitable for everyone, including babies from 2 months.
Personally, I don’t prefer heavy creams on my skin, even fast-absorbing ones. I’d rather go for super hydrating lotions that are not just fast-absorbing, but light on skin as well. If this is your preference as well, then CeraVe Moisturising Lotion is the one you go for. It has the same ingredients as CeraVe Moisturising Cream for Dry to Very Dry Skin, but with a light formulation. It’s lightweight, non-greasy formula and provide long lasting hydration.
CeraVe SA Smoothing Face and Body Cleanser
Choosing a cleanser in the UK is not an easy thing to do. Most of facial cleansers in the market will dry your skin, which is normal, but it’s not normal when it comes to cold dry weather. As the weather already dry and dehydrate your skin, you need a cleanser that contains hydrating and nourishing ingredients. In this situation, CeraVe SA Smoothing Face and Body Cleanser is the best option for you. The formula of this cleanser is gentle, non-irritating exfoliation without harsh microbeads that can scratch your skin. There are two hydrating ingredients that make this cleanser the to-go-for; which are hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, along with the ceramide’s technology. This formula will soften and smooth the skin without disrupting its protective barrier.
One of the most used forms of vitamin A is retinol. It’s scientifically proven for smoothing your skin’s texture by reducing the appearance of post-acne marks, minimizing the look of pores and improving your skin’s surface. As cold weather affects your skin barrier, you have to use a gentle peeling product like this light retinol formula. It contains encapsulated retinol to help resurface your skin and brighten your skin’s appearance. It’s also formulated with the well-known CeraVe’s technology, which is the three essential ceramides that work together to lock in skins moisture and help restore your skin’s protective barrier.
One of the downsides of the cold dry weather in the UK is the dehydration. Signs of dehydration and exhaustion first appear in the area around the eyes, especially under the eyes. This is why you have to look for an eye cream that contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. The Eye Repair Cream by CeraVe does the magic and will give notable results in two weeks. Not only dermatologists but ophthalmologist as well have tested and approved the eye cream. It’s a non-greasy, fast-absorbing, fragrance-free formula that works to minimize the appearance of dark circles and eye puffiness.
CeraVe Moisturizing Mineral Sunscreen Face Sheer Tint
This lovely sunscreen with SPF 30 provides UVA/UVB protection with 100%-mineral titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, forming a barrier on the surface of your skin to reflect the sun’s rays. It’s ideal for many skin types and skin tones, because pigmented mineral sunscreens can help protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays while giving you a healthy-looking and radiant glow. Just like all CeraVe products, this sunscreen is non-greasy, lightweight, fragrance-free, paraben-free, allergy-tested, and suitable for sensitive skin.
AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30
Not a fan of tinted sunscreen? Me either, but CeraVe has a different option for you. AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30 moisturizes and nourishes your skin while helping to absorb and reflect the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays. It’s formulated with CeraVe’s miracle (the three essential ceramides), with hydrating hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide. It offers both chemical and mineral sun protection, spreads easily and evenly. This formula is lightweight and non-comedogenic, which doesn’t clog your pores.
To give this article a solid conclusion, I decided to end it up with this magical product. CeraVe Skin Renewing Gel Oil is a gentle, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic hydrating oil that will instantly improve your skin’s radiance. It contains a unique blend of five ceramides and sunflower oil that can be used on its own or in with moisturizer to provide the skin with extra hydration. Cold and dry weather makes your skin looks extremely tired and dehydrated. This hydrating gel oil can moisturize and instantly boosts your skin’s radiance.
