How to Choose the Best Moisturiser for Glowing Skin

If you’ve ever stood in front of the skincare aisle wondering which moisturiser is best for glowing skin, you’re not alone. With so many options - gels, creams, mattifiers, and more - it can be confusing to know which one will actually deliver hydration without weighing your skin down.

The truth is, the right moisturiser depends on your skin type, climate, and skincare goals. In this guide, we’ll break down how to choose the perfect Murad moisturiser for radiant, healthy-looking skin - no matter your skin type.

 

Why Moisturiser Matters for Radiant Skin

Glowing skin starts with hydration. When the skin is properly moisturised:

• Fine lines look softer
• Skin appears plumper and healthier
• The barrier stays strong against environmental stressors
• Makeup applies more smoothly
  
  

Skipping moisturiser can actually trigger more oiliness, dehydration, or dullness — the opposite of what you want if you’re chasing glow.

 

Step 1: Identify Your Skin Type

Choosing the right moisturiser begins with knowing your skin type:

• Oily/Combination: Look for lightweight, oil-free gels.
• Dry/Dehydrated: Choose richer creams that lock in moisture.
• Blemish-Prone: Go for oil-free formulas with clarifying ingredients.
• Normal/All Skin Types: Pick a balanced moisturiser that hydrates without heaviness.

• Helps reduce visible redness and strengthen the barrier

Step 2: Consider Climate and Lifestyle

Where you live and how you live also affect your skin’s needs:

• Hot & Humid Weather: Choose gel-based, oil-free moisturisers like Nutrient-Charged Water Gel.
• Dry or Cold Weather: Rich creams like Intense Recovery Cream provide extra protection.
• Outdoor Lifestyle: SPF moisturisers like Oil & Pore Control Mattifier help defend against UV damage.

 

Tips for Getting the Most Glow From Your Moisturiser

• Cleanse properly before application to avoid trapping impurities.
• Exfoliate weekly with Murad Vita-C Triple Exfoliating Facial for brighter skin.
• Layer serums first (like Vitamin C or retinol) to boost results, then lock it in with your moisturiser.
• Always use SPF during the day — sun damage is the #1 glow-stealer.
