The daily skincare routine that you follow determines how your skin will feel some years down the road. Even if you’re just starting to get serious about skincare, you might be well aware of the importance of choosing the best face cream for yourself.  


Applying a face cream daily is the ultimate key to healthy, glowing skin regardless of the season, age, or skin type. But, what is it about daily moisturization that makes it such an essential step of skin-care?

For starters, a face cream helps maintain the natural radiance and youthfulness of the skin by taking care of the natural skin barrier. A healthy skin barrier is a natural defense against inflammation and damage. It prevents many skin issues such as dehydration, irritation, redness, and even dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles over time.

Therefore, your daily CTM - Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize routine will give you the best results when you choose the best products.

Based on the top ingredients in your face cream, it can provide many other benefits. It’s highly recommended to use a day face cream and a night face cream as both have their unique purpose. We’ll elaborate on that in the coming sections.

Before that, let’s look into some of the features that you should look for while choosing the best face cream.

Best Face Cream For Women

With everything else you need to do in the busy morning hours, moisturizing your skin can feel like another chore. However, choosing the right face cream will ensure that the time made for it is worth it.

It's recommended that women start using face cream regularly from their mid to late 20s. Regular moisturizing maintains the elasticity in your skin, helping reduce wrinkles, age spots, and other fine lines. Gentle moisturization every day also preps the skin for the daily stress and shields it from environmental pollution. 

Here are some things you should look for in your face cream -

  • It should be free from harsh chemicals - Face cream is one product you'll use on your skin every day. Therefore, it should be gentle on the skin. Natural face creams formulated from organic ingredients and are free from chemicals are the best for the skin. 
  • It should be suitable for your skin type - The ancient science of Ayurveda talks about how every single body type has a unique constitution. As a result, our skin requirements vary significantly. Look for the face cream's key ingredients and choose one with components compatible with your skin type.
  • It should be non-comedogenic - Unless you have dry skin, heavy moisturizers can be problematic. They take longer for your skin to absorb, so they sit on top of your skin and clog your pores. Individual ingredients are also known to be comedogenic, which means that they can clog pores and potentially lead to acne breakouts. Always choose a non-comedogenic face cream.
  • It should have a short shelf life - Face creams with a long shelf life often contain harmful chemicals and preservatives. On the other hand, natural and organic face creams have a shorter lifespan and do not contain harmful additives and preservatives.

  • It should address your skin concerns - Your face cream can be chosen to address skin concerns like dullness, dryness, pigmentation, dark circles and ageing. Identify what concerns you want to address and work on them accordingly.

Based on the parameters mentioned above, we've narrowed down some of the best natural face cream options for you. Let's address them in detail.
