Despite being a skincare-obsessed, hoarder of cosmetics, I rarely find a moisturiser that I really love. I seem to have high moisturiser standards and nothing ever suits \u2013 that is, until I came across a rather delicious little day cream\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For reference, my skin is normal, slightly oily and occasionally prone to blemishes. I find that it\u2019s often dehydrated, but most creams are too heavy and cause breakouts and excess oil, so I have quite the criteria to stick to when it comes to finding a moisturiser! It goes without saying that quite often, I just don\u2019t have one \u2013 I will use face oil mixed with primer instead. Not ideal, to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I switched to natural skincare a little while back, but one brand I find really hard to give up is Kiehl\u2019s \u2013 their products may not be packed with the most natural ingredients, but boy does my skin love their formulations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The brand sent me a little package some time ago, and one of the products included was the Kiehl\u2019s Ultra Facial Cream (\u00a324) \u2013 I thought I had tried this before, and I was on my mission to natural skincare, so I handed it over to Jordan, who loves a good moisturiser. It wasn\u2019t until a few weeks later when he mentioned how good it was that I was interested. I had run out of morning moisturiser options when I decided to try the Ultra Facial Cream. My skin felt parched and I wanted something to slap on before my makeup, and I wasn\u2019t really expecting much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To my surprise, this was instantly soothing, completely drenching but without a slick, wet feeling on the skin. It\u2019s not too thick or creamy, but it\u2019s not a drying gel either \u2013 it sits somewhere in the middle, and it sinks in straight away, creating the perfect base for makeup. It\u2019s not often I notice a difference as I apply a product, but the way this felt under my fingers and left my skin smooth and dewy really hit a note with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I kept up application, fighting at the sink with Jordan over ownership of the tub! I eventually picked out a nice Origins number for him, and I ended up finishing the original tub so I now have my own fresh tub to use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can\u2019t imagine switching this out any time soon, it\u2019s exactly what I look for in a moisturiser and it\u2019s not too expensive for a day cream either. The silky finish and lovely quenching properties are exactly what I\u2019ve been looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
