The Best Moisturisers for Mature Skin
When it comes to anti-ageing, people often think there’s not a lot we can do to prevent wrinkles from settling in and dryness from taking over. And to an extent, they’re right – it’s just life. However, there are many skin care products you can use in order to age gracefully, to turn back the hands of time, so to speak, and to reduce the appearance of those fine lines.
Of course, you can drink eight glasses of water to keep your skin bright, hydrated and healthy, and you can indulge in a facial every month or so. But I’m not here to talk about water and facials, I’m here to tell you about the top six moisturisers for mature skin: everyday creams that you can use to combat the tell-tale signs of ageing and to keep your skin full of moisture and vitality.
It’s easy to stick to your favourite lotions and potions, they’ve served you well over the years and they’re your trusty skin care sidekick. But as your skin changes, your moisturisers should too. So, it’s time to wave goodbye to that cream you’ve had for 20 years and get ready to focus on formulas that are better suited to your skin type and concerns. Introducing the best moisturisers for mature skin:
Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Lift & Firm Day Cream
£36.99 £68.00 (46% off)Plump, lift, restore, smooth, firm – there’s nothing much this moisturiser can’t do. It’s the ultimate anti-ageing treatment that helps to naturally contour and sculpt your face. As we get older, we lose skin ceramides and, as a result, we get wrinkles *sad face*. This Advanced Ceramide Lift & Firm Day Cream ensures your skin is thriving and is nothing short of revitalised, making it one of the best moisturisers for mature skin.
PCA SKIN Collagen Hydrator
£42.00Keeping your collagen count at a healthy level is this formula from PCA Skin. Anyone with dry, mature skin will love this moisturiser as it instantly relieves dryness, flaking, itching and irritation. And, of course, it leaves you with a youthful complexion thanks to its blend of collagen, antioxidants and fruit extracts.

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
£74.00 £90.00 (18% off)First things first, this is eye-wateringly expensive, but there's a reason for that.
