Skin feeling dry, tight or dull? Restore lost moisture for a softer, plumper and more hydrated complexion.
If your skin often feels tight, flaky or in need of a moisture boost, Farmers has a great range of hydrating skincare to help. From lightweight lotions to richer creams, we stock moisturiser for dry skin that suits a variety of routines and budgets. Hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides work to draw in and lock down moisture, helping skin feel softer and more comfortable. New Zealand's dry winters and coastal winds can leave skin feeling parched, so a good moisturiser can be a handy addition to your daily routine. We carry options for faces and bodies, plus hydrating serums and mists that layer nicely underneath your usual products. Whether you're after something fragrance free, suited to sensitive skin, or a bit more indulgent, our range makes it simple to find a moisturiser that helps your skin feel nourished all year round.
Finding a moisturiser for dry skin doesn't need to be complicated. At Farmers, we stock a curated range from trusted skincare brands, with textures ranging from gel creams to thicker balms for when your skin needs extra care. Look for ingredients like shea butter, squalane and hyaluronic acid, which can help replenish moisture and support your skin's natural barrier. Applying moisturiser to slightly damp skin, morning and night, can help lock in hydration more effectively. If you're dealing with particularly dry patches, our range also includes richer overnight creams and targeted balms for extra comfort. Our friendly team can help point you towards a formula suited to your skin type, whether you prefer something fragrance free or a scented everyday cream. Shop online or visit your local store to stock up on moisturiser and keep dryness at bay.
What ingredients should I look for in a moisturiser for dry skin?
Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin and shea butter can help attract and hold moisture in the skin, making them useful for dry or dehydrated skin.
How often should I apply moisturiser for dry skin?
Most people benefit from applying moisturiser twice a day, in the morning and evening, though very dry skin may need an extra top up during the day.
What is the difference between hydrating and moisturising skincare?
Hydrating products typically add water to the skin, while moisturising products help seal that moisture in, so using both together can give the best results.
Can a heavy moisturiser cause breakouts?
Richer moisturisers can occasionally feel too heavy for oilier skin types, so it may help to choose a lighter formula if you're prone to congestion.
