Quench Your Skin's Thirst ... The Moisture Surge Range by Clinique

More often than not, there is one misconception about skin that always gets my attention: people who live in hot and humid climate areas need not to worry about moisture loss from their skin as the humidity minimises the loss and helps keeping the skin’s moisture intact.

Whether one realises it or not, the skin starts its losing its moisture from the moment you start you day and it could take place indoors. Take your home and workplace, for instance. In Malaysia, almost all workplaces are equipped with air-conditioners. 

Ditto homes as air-conditioners nowadays are considered affordable for the masses to own. More often than not, the cold and dry air strips off the moisture from our skin, especially during our sleep.

Other major contributing causes to the loss of skin moisture are excessive exposure to the sun, decrease of sebum production that often related to the aging process, metabolism-related illnesses, excessive alcohol consumption, and sometimes, the use of inappropriate skincare, just to list a few.

While many people would resort to drinking more than 10 glasses of water a day, you may need more than that to bring back the lost lustre to your skin as the skin moisture is also made of other elements such as lipids and natural oils. Hence, start giving your skin a very much deserved drink and restore its youthfulness with the Moisture Surge range from Clinique.

A collection of skincare that specifically tends to the needs of the skin hydration, the Moisture Surge range provides instant and lasting moisture replenishment to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. This is because by having a strong moisture barrier, the skin will be free from harmful environmental irritants and moisture loss can be reduced to a healthier level. Subsequently, your skin too will become supple, firm and vibrant.

To start off your skin moisture retaining regimen is the major star of the range - Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief. A breakthrough moisture loss prevention solution, this gel cream is lightweight and comfortable to the skin. Providing full-fledged hydration to the skin for up to 24 hours, the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief oil-free formulation reduces fine lines, flakiness and tightness from the facial area and in return, providing the skin with what it really needs: rejuvenation and suppleness.

Suitable to be used both day and night, there are several ways how you could benefit from this skin thirst quencher: Take a little dab from the jar and tap it over your makeup during midday; use it as a quick 5-minute mask by applying it on clean skin and blot the excess gel cream with a tissue; or use it as a finisher after applying moisturiser (such as the iconic Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + or gel). 

To boost its moisturising properties during the day, wear it with Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF 30/PA+++ or Moisture Surge CC Cream Swirl Compact SPF 30/PA+++.

In the afternoon, as the sun is at its peak and perhaps, the air-conditioner may be blasting heavier to accommodate the seeping outside heat, take a quick spritz of Moisture Surge Face Spray Thirsty Skin Relief. 

Containing Aloe Vera extract, the spray replenishes your skin moisture at a rapid pace and restores the skin balance. It also soften and soothes the skin faster before you could say, “moisturised!”

As the night falls, give your skin a maximum hydration treatment while you are asleep as this is the time when the skin cells start to repair and regenerate. To do so, apply the rich, oil-free Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator.

Just like the Extended Thirst Relief gel cream, the Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator, as its name suggests, fortifies the skin barrier and instantly rehydrates the skin. The result is a plumper and healthier skin, even 24 hours after you last put it on.

For extra radiance to the skin the moment you wake up and greet a new day, apply the Moisture Surge Overnight Mask. Featuring creamy texture, the mask quenches the skin’s thirst; replenishes the lost moisture and rebuild the skin’s moisture reserve for the next day. 

Although it may be called a mask, the Overnight Mask begs to differ as one does not have to cleanse it off after application, just like the other masks. All you have to do is massage it on your skin until the skin absorbs it and be prepared to wake up with soft, dewy and glowing skin.

Thus, start giving your skin the much deserved drink today and let your skin glow with utmost youthfulness and radiance with Moisture Surge range by Clinique. 

The Moisture Surge range is priced from RM 100.00 for Moisture Surge Face Spray Thirsty Skin Relief to RM 165.00 for Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief and Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator; available now at all Clinique counters nationwide as well as at clinique.com.my.
