Apply the cream to clean facial skin after cleansing and, if you use one, after a toner or serum. A small amount is usually enough to start; spread it gently over the face and add a little more only to areas that feel especially dry, such as the cheeks or around rough patches. Because the formula includes emollients such as lanolin, sunflower oil and dimethicone, it is designed to leave a more cushioned feel than a very light gel moisturiser.
In the morning, it can be used before sunscreen. Let the cream settle for a few minutes before applying SPF, especially if you use makeup, so the layers sit more evenly. In the evening, it can be the final moisturising step to help reduce the feeling of tightness after cleansing. If your skin becomes shiny or heavy-feeling during the day, use less product in the morning and reserve a fuller layer for nighttime.
This cream can be used seasonally rather than every day if that suits your skin better. For example, some people may reach for a richer cream during winter, windy weather or periods of frequent washing, then switch to a lighter texture when their skin feels balanced again.
