Desert Island Beauty Pick - Moisturiser

It's interesting to see what AD puts on this list because mine and hers could be very different! I think she will agree though that a facial moisturiser should definitely be included as a desert island beauty pick.

During summer I always use a moisturiser that has a sunscreen in it. I don't in the winter although I think the experts say it is good practice to do this. A regular in InStyle magazine's Best Beauty Buys is Aveeno's Postively Radiant Daily Skin Brightening Moisturiser. It includes soy complex to even skin tone and light diffusers to brighten your skin. I used this last summer and it is a lovely light texture which leaves your skin feeling silky smooth after application. 

Here are two great moisturisers from famous French brands. Both of these got a mention in Gwyneth's French Pharmacy picks. The Caudalie one is formulated to keep you hydrated all day long without clogging pores and promises to give you a healthy glow. You often read that every make-up artist has a tube of the Lait-Creme Concentrate by Embyrolisse in their bag. This 3 in 1 moisturises, cleanses and primes leaving your skin feeling soothed and hydrated.

My final pick is Dr Hauschka's Rose Day Cream. Every tube contains the extract of over 1,075 organic rose petals which explains why it smells amazing! Included also are Rose oil, wild rosehip extract and avocado to help nurture, calm and smooth the skin.  

What's your favourite moisturiser? We'd love to hear from you!  MP
