Three skincare essentials for dehydrated, sensitive skin...
As I get older, my skin tends to get drier and drier, much the opposite of my younger skin that was super oily. I've always had sensitive skin, but the dryness is something I'm having to learn to tackle after years of buying so many different mattifying products. I've recently added three skincare products from Manuka Doctor to my skincare routine that have been absolute saviours for my skin, and today I'm sharing those three products and their many benefits.


Manuka Doctor Ceramide Skincare Range
Manuka Doctor have developed a Ceramide Skincare Range that features three essential ceramides, as well as moisturising Manuka Honey and Hyaluronic Acid to keep your skin barrier healthy and protected. Ceramides play a crucial role in maintaining the function of your skin barrier and they are essential for healthy, hydrated and protected skin.
The barrier helps to prevent loss of moisture, and shields the skin from pollutants and irritants, as well as maintaining optimal hydration levels. When the skin barrier is compromised, it can lead to dryness, sensitivity and inflammation - which none of us want. Ceramides help to lock in moisture by creating a protective barrier, which is particularly beneficial if you suffer with dry/dehydrated skin. Ceramides also have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm irritated or sensitive skin.
Manuka Honey also has extreme benefits, with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It's a natural humectant, meaning it naturally draws moisture into the skin whilst helping hydrate and keeping it soft and smooth. Hyaluronic Acid adds even more hydration, and helps retain moisture whilst keeping the skin hydrated and plump. It has anti-aging properties too, and can improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


Manuka Doctor Ceramide Smoothing Cleanser
The Manuka Doctor Ceramide Smoothing Cleanser has become my go-to morning cleanser, it's formulated to gently cleanse and replenish dry and irritated skin without stripping away the skins natural oils. I've been cleansing my skin with this every morning and it makes me feel so awake and refreshed, whilst leaving my skin feeling really clean. I suffer with quite dry skin, so I need a cleanser in my routine that doesn't leave my face feeling dehydrated, and this cleanser fits the bill perfectly. It's extremely gentle which is exactly what my sensitive skin needs and I love how calm, yet fresh my skin feels post-cleanse.
Manuka Doctor Ceramide Facial Moisturising Lotion with SPF 30
SPF is such an important step of your skincare routine, and I love skincare products that contain it making your daily routine effortless. The Manuka Doctor Ceramide Facial Moisturising Lotion is my current favourite moisturiser to apply before makeup on a morning, with SPF 30 it's plenty to keep my skin protected throughout the day and will be even more of a staple in my routine as we get closer to the summer months. It's incredibly lightweight and absorbs into my skin with ease, without feeling thick or greasy in the slightest. A lot of SPF products can leave your skin really slick and covered in residue, and I love that this one does the total opposite. It's easily layered with other serums and creams too. It really is the perfect base for makeup and a staple day to day moisturiser.


Manuka Doctor Ceramide Moisturising Cream
Last, but not least, the Manuka Doctor Ceramide Moisturising Cream has been a dreamy addition to my evening routine. This can be used for both face and body, and it's thick and luxurious, making it the perfect evening moisturiser. I love doing my skincare on an evening and really giving my skin that time to soak it in and reap the benefits, and I love that this moisturiser leaves my skin feels so supple and hydrated.
I've also used this on other areas of my body such as my legs and stomach where I've felt quite dry and it really is such a lovely hydrating moisturiser. The tub has plenty to go around too, my partner even loves it!
The whole range is dermatologically tested and fragrance free, and you can buy the Ceramide Skincare Collection in full for just £20 over on the Manuka Doctor website, which is an absolute steal. If you struggle with dry and sensitive skin, then this collection really is a must, and at such an affordable price, you cannot go wrong.
