Your skin is unique - it has its own rhythm, shaped by elements such as the seasons, your age, genetics, health, surroundings and how you spend your days. This means skin can be thirsty and dry, sensitive to change, or balanced in places and unpredictable in others.
So does it really matter what moisturiser you use? The answer is a resounding yes.
The right moisturiser doesn’t just sit on the surface. It works with your skin, restoring its natural balance with powerful ingredients that hydrate, soothe and protect. Whether you need deep nourishment, calming comfort or a light daily lift, choosing the right blend can make all the difference, leaving your face quietly glowing and ready for whatever the day brings.

How to choose a face moisturiser for your skin type
Your skin’s needs can change, so understanding what it’s asking for is the first step to choosing the right moisturiser. Whether you’re seeking long-lasting hydration, gentle care or a balancing touch, our natural moisturisers are blended to help your skin regain its rhythm.
Face Moisturiser for Dry or Mature Skin
Dry and mature skin can often feel tight, revealing fine lines, flakiness or dullness. It craves moisture, often after cleansing or at points during the day, such as mid-afternoon.
This skin type needs deep hydration and protection, wrapped in rich, replenishing textures. Think shea butter to smooth and soften, Vitamin E to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier and hyaluronic acid – the moisture magnet – to quench and plump from within.
land&water’s moisturiser for dry or mature skin
Offering natural nourishment and a dew-fresh complexion, our Hydrate & Restore Moisturiser contains a skin-drenching blend of botanical actives, including samphire, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.
Key ingredients:
Samphire
The remarkable active properties of samphire underline land&water’s DNA. A hardy plant growing on the fringes of land and sea, samphire (Salicornia) has impressive capabilities for protecting itself from dehydration, despite the high salt content of its environment. Samphire’s oily extract, hydrosalinol, helps moisturise, restructure and smooth out skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
An essential ingredient in our facial moisturisers, hyaluronic acid rejuvenates the skin by boosting elasticity and plumpness. Effectively fighting signs of ageing, hyaluronic acid fills fine lines, reduces deep wrinkles and smoothes crow’s feet.

Face Moisturiser for Sensitive Skin
A soft flush, a sudden sting, a ‘tight’ sensation: sensitive skin is especially prone to irritation. Easily unsettled by the climate, stress, or even your water, it needs considered, gentle care.
The key for sensitive skin is to keep things calm. Look for soothing ingredients that nurture rather than fight. Aloe vera cools and comforts. Sweet almond oil soothes and regenerates cells. Vitamin E supports the skin’s natural barrier – your built-in shield against the elements.

Comfort sensitive skin with the soothing blend of botanicals in our nutrient-rich Soothe & Nourish Moisturiser for face.
Key ingredients:
Blackberry Oil
Bringing the brightness of shoreline hedgerows to our skincare recipes, blackberry oil is packed with skin-enhancing vitamins C, A and E. Thanks to the high levels of bioactive compounds they contain, these juicy black jewels of the bramble have been shown to have significant antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effects – helping to slow signs of ageing, target acne, stimulate collagen production and firm up the skin for a fresh-faced radiance.
Sweet Almond Oil
Rich in a spectrum of vitamins like A, B1, B2, B6 and E, sweet almond oil calms and protects against skin irritation. Its soothing and cell-regenerating properties help to protect skin from UV radiation damage and keep it looking smooth, soft and free of fine lines.

Face Moisturiser for Combination Skin
Somewhere between dry and oily, calm and reactive, combination skin can be unpredictable. One part of your face might crave moisture, while another leans toward shine. The key is balance: not too rich, not too light.
What helps for this skin type? A thoughtful blend of hydrating and clarifying botanicals. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid deliver water-light moisture, sweet almond oil and shea butter soften where needed, brightening vitamin C enlivens skin, while aloe vera and avocado extract soothe and refresh.
For skin that doesn’t sit neatly in one category, this is your steady middle ground. Refreshing and rebalancing, like a swim at high tide.
land&water’s moisturiser for combination skin
Reawaken your complexion with our natural moisturiser, Revive & Balance, for combination skin and its brightening blend of sea buckthorn, vitamin C and many more active ingredients to rejuvenate your skin.
Key ingredients:
Sea Buckthorn
An essential ingredient in our moisturisers, oils, balms and scrubs, sea buckthorn oil comes from the berries of the sea buckthorn plant, which clings to rocky sea cliffs and thrives on sunshine. High in vitamin C, it’s a natural antioxidant with skin-rejuvenating properties.
Vitamin C
From sun to wind, sea spray to snow, the elements can take their toll on our skin. A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C is the outdoor lover’s best friend, protecting against UV-induced oxidative damage, reducing dark spots and neutralising oxidative stress. Vitamin C also targets acne, stimulates collagen production and firms up the skin for a fresh-faced radiance.
