Her World Beauty Awards 2019 Winners: Hydrating Skincare
Test the waters
image

In addition to the harsh environmental conditions we subject our skin to, our skin is prone to moisture loss and dryness as Asian women naturally have a weaker skin barrier compared to their Western counterparts (based on studies published in the Journal of Dermatological Science).

That is why it is extremely important to deeply moisturise our skin from within. One of the best (and quickest) ways to keep dry flaky skin at bay is to moisturise, day in and day out, with lotions, essences, sheet masks and facial mists.

While you can grab any old formula off the rack and hope for the best, an even better option is to check out our list of tried-and-tested hydrating skincare that won the seal of approval of the panel of esteemed judges of the 2019 Her World Beauty Awards as well as readers who casted their votes.

Here are the best hydrating products tested for Her World Beauty Awards that will nourish the skin and leave the skin looking plump, firm and supple. In this list, we’ve also included products that will work for those with oily skin.

 

Best hydrating cleansing oil (Editors’ Choice & Readers’ Choice) - Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil, $30

This makes light of even the toughest makeup (the waterproof, budge-proof stuff).
