Cream vs oil moisturisers: find the right product, whatever your skin type

Does your skin have itchy, scaly patches? If so, try a product with a thicker texture, such as Chantecaille’s Bébé Camellia and Lavender Balm (HK$390). The deeply nourishing formula can also cure chapped lips and cracked heels. The balm can feel a little greasy so it is best applied before you go to bed.

There is no definitive answer to the great oil vs cream debate. But if you prefer the former, try Caudalie’s Thé des Vignes Body & Hair Nourishing Oil (HK$198), a multi-purpose oil that can be used from head to toe. It smells pleasantly of white musk, neroli and ginger, and is rich in antioxidants.
