Introduction: The Importance of Moisturising
When it comes to achieving and maintaining healthy, radiant skin, moisturising is a crucial step that should never be overlooked. Whether your skin is dry, oily, or somewhere in between, a good moisturiser helps to hydrate, protect, and balance your skin, keeping it looking its best. At Dr. Storm, we believe in simplicity and effectiveness—your skincare routine doesn’t need to be complicated to be powerful. Our moisturisers are designed to deliver all the benefits your skin needs in one easy step, leaving you with a glowing complexion without the fuss.
What Is a Moisturiser?
A moisturiser is a skincare product designed to hydrate the skin and maintain its moisture barrier. It does this by delivering ingredients that attract water to the skin (humectants), smooth and soften the skin (emollients), and create a protective layer that prevents water loss (occlusives). Dr Storm’s Basically Brilliant Moisturiser and Basically Brilliant Night Moisturiser are both carefully formulated to address these needs, ensuring that your skin stays hydrated and healthy around the clock.
Key Ingredients in Moisturisers
The effectiveness of any moisturiser lies in its ingredients. At Dr Storm, we focus on using evidence-based ingredients that have been proven to work. Our Basically Brilliant Moisturiser features nourishing ingredients that hydrate and protect the skin throughout the day, while our Basically Brilliant Night Moisturiser works overnight to repair and rejuvenate.
- Humectants: These are ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid that attract water to the skin, keeping it hydrated and plump.
- Emollients: Ingredients such as squalane smooth the skin’s surface, making it feel soft and supple.
- Occlusives: Ingredients like dimethicone create a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration.
These ingredients work together to ensure your skin stays hydrated, smooth, and protected.
How to Choose the Right Moisturiser for Your Skin
Choosing the right moisturiser depends on your skin type and concerns. Understanding your skin’s unique needs is essential for selecting the perfect product.
- For Dry Skin: If your skin tends to be dry, you’ll benefit from a richer, more hydrating formula like the Basically Brilliant Night Moisturiser, which is designed to deeply nourish and restore your skin while you sleep.
- For Oily or Combination Skin: The Basically Brilliant Moisturiser is a lightweight option that provides hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, making it perfect for daily use on oily or combination skin.
Dr. Storm’s approach to skincare is all about personalisation—understanding your skin type and choosing products that cater to its specific needs is the key to achieving the best results.
Common Myths About Moisturisers
There are several myths surrounding moisturisers that can lead to confusion about their use. Let’s debunk a few:
- "Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturising": This is a common misconception. Even if your skin is oily, it still needs hydration to maintain its balance. The key is to choose a lightweight moisturiser, like our Basically Brilliant Moisturiser, that hydrates without clogging pores.
- "All Moisturisers Are the Same": Not all moisturisers are created equal. The effectiveness of a moisturiser depends on its formulation and how well it meets your skin’s needs. Dr. Storm’s moisturisers are crafted with high-quality, evidence-based ingredients to ensure they deliver real results.
The Role of Moisturiser in Your Skincare Routine
Moisturisers play a vital role in both your morning and evening skincare routines.
- Morning Routine: In the morning, your skin needs protection from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays. The Basically Brilliant Moisturiser hydrates your skin and creates a barrier that protects it throughout the day. Follow it with SPF to ensure full protection.
- Night Routine: At night, your skin enters repair mode, and this is when the Basically Brilliant Night Moisturiser comes into play. It nourishes and revitalises your skin while you sleep, so you wake up with a smooth, refreshed complexion.

Tips for Maximising Your Moisturiser’s Effectiveness
Here are a few tips to get the most out of your moisturiser:
- Apply to Damp Skin: For maximum hydration, apply your moisturiser to damp skin. This helps lock in moisture more effectively.
- Use Gentle, Upward Strokes: When applying your moisturiser, use gentle, upward strokes to help promote circulation and prevent sagging.
- Be Consistent: Consistency is key to seeing results. Use your moisturiser every day, morning and night, to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
Frequently Asked Questions
- "How Much Moisturiser Should I Use?" A pea-sized amount is usually sufficient for your face and neck, but feel free to adjust based on your skin’s needs.
- "Can I Use the Same Moisturiser Day and Night?" While you can, using a product specifically designed for nighttime, like the Basically Brilliant Night Moisturiser, will provide additional benefits during the skin’s repair phase.
