Your Face Moisturiser Shouldn’t Compromise on Luxury
Lift Your Glow with Our Luxurious Daily Face Moisturiser Ritual
A face moisturiser should feel like a daily treat, cocooning your skin in weightless hydration, antioxidant defence, and that renowned Borghese luxury. Our country’s blazing sun, brisk highveld winds, and office air conditioning take turns sapping moisture from one’s complexion, which may leave skin feeling dry, sensitive, and taut. At Borghese, our science revolves around replenishing those losses, and we believe that the process should be effortless. We like to think of it as wearable wellness, where our Italian heritage meets science-driven formulas to deliver maximum results with minimal effort. Every product pampers and protects in equal measure, and when your skin feels balanced, you’ll find that your confidence follows too.
Your Face Moisturiser Shouldn’t Compromise on Luxury
A face moisturiser isn’t meant to sit atop the surface of your skin all day; it should be absorbed, becoming a kind of micro-climate where moisture, nutrients, and antioxidants mingle to keep your barrier calm and resilient. Without adequate hydration and a strong barrier, your skin is much more susceptible to pollution, UV stress, and premature ageing. Our laboratories have studied this process and developed botanical actives with innovative humectants that lock in moisture and rejuvenating ingredients. Those who love the Borghese name know they can expect luxurious formulations, so if you’re seeking a face moisturiser that melts on contact and turns every application into a sensory pause, our range is for you.
The goal is skin that looks healthy and stays protected from the moment you wake up to your final good-night cleanse – and we can help you achieve it.
How Does Your Skin Feel Today?
Often, we instinctively know when our skin could use a little more TLC, but here are some signs that you should use a premium face moisturiser in your routine:
- A taut, almost paper-thin feeling minutes after cleansing your skin in the morning or at night.
- Feather-like flakes clustering around the nostrils, chin, or between your brows.
- Redness, roughness, or irritation.
- An overall dull tone that lacks “bounce”.
- Foundation that clings to lines and patches rather than sweeping on like silk.
Let Us Introduce You to the Energia Vitamin E Antioxidant Moisturiser
Are you looking for a feather-light gel-creme that drenches thirsty skin, then seals the moisture with a velvet finish that never feels greasy? That is our Energia Vitamin E Antioxidant Moisturiser, a formulation perfected for tired skin and busy lifestyles. Fermented Shiunko Oil brightens and smooths, while Citrus Lemon Flower Extract coaxes elasticity back into cheeks that brave the harsh outdoors. Glutathione also stands as a barrier guard, neutralising toxins before they can etch any fine lines into one’s skin. Suitable for every South African skin type and texture, the Energia Vitamin E Antioxidant Moisturiser melts in within seconds and keeps working for hours, gifting you a dewy, plump complexion. One small scoop, morning and night, turns fatigue into luminosity, and all it takes is smoothing it upward into the skin. Once you feel your texture spring back under your fingertips, you’ll know that your skin has received exactly what it was craving.
The not-so-secret ingredient in this formulation is, of course, Vitamin E, which comes with a range of benefits. It strengthens your barrier and does an outstanding job of mopping up free radicals, making it a multitasking solution for a healthy complexion. It also slows water loss, so your glow lasts long after application, and it boosts the performance of complementary oils, such as fermented Shiunko. If you’ve had a bit too much sun, Vitamin E is particularly soothing after UV exposure.
Targeted Boosters for Next Level Hydration
Even the most lavish lotion sometimes needs a specialist sidekick, and our two targeted boosters step in to enhance your daily ritual. The Insta-Firm Advanced Wrinkle Relaxer deploys Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 to soften expression lines. Algae Extract and Pullulan form an invisible mesh that instantly lifts tired contours, while Vitamin E and Aloe create a soothing, hydrated veil for the skin. When your complexion feels parched from late-night deadlines or a weekend hike, you can layer our Acqua Ristorativo Hydrating Concentrate beneath your face moisturiser. Botanically derived Cell Leaf Culture and marine derivatives flood cells with minerals, Sodium Hyaluronate binds water like a sponge, and Watermelon Fruit Extract promotes cell regeneration. Used together, these boosters transform your daily ritual into a bespoke treatment, restoring your glow.
Application Hacks from Our Skincare Pros:
- Gently tap or smooth your face moisturiser into damp skin to multiply hydration uptake.
- Warm the product between your fingers, then glide it upward from the décolletage to the hairline.
- Allow your face moisturiser to absorb properly before adding your daily sunscreen and makeup.
Moisturiser Myths We Need to Ditch
Many believe oily skin should skip a face moisturiser, but it’s essential to know that dehydration can still trigger excess sebum production, leaving the skin with shine, but without proper nourishment. Another myth is that thicker textures are automatically richer, but modern gel-creme hybrids like Energia deliver deep hydration in a light formulation. Lastly, one solution rarely works all year. Summer humidity and winter winds require different things from your barrier, so adjust the formulas as the seasons shift to match your needs.
Your Daily Skin Ritual in Three Steps
- Morning: Cleanse and tone, then apply two pumps of Acqua Ristorativo to damp skin. Seal with Energia Vitamin E Antioxidant Moisturiser, followed by a broad-spectrum SPF.
- Night: Cleanse and tone, then smooth Insta-Firm or ENERGIA Retinol Renewal Night Oil into your skin. Top with Energia Vitamin E Antioxidant Moisturiser for overnight recovery while you sleep.
- Weekly: Treat yourself to our Advanced Fango Active Mud Mask on a relaxed evening. Five fragrant minutes draw out impurities, infuse minerals, and leave your skin’s canvas perfectly prepped for the rest of the week.
FAQs about the Borghese Face Moisturiser Range:
- Is serum alone enough in summer?
Serums excel at targeted actives, but a moisturiser seals in those benefits, ensuring lasting comfort even in extreme weather. - How long should I wait before I apply makeup?
Give Energia a few short minutes to settle and absorb. Foundation will then glide on more evenly, helping your skin resist midday caking or creasing. - Do I need a thicker cream for winter?
Not always. You can boost Energia with a layer of Acqua Ristorativo beneath it to raise moisture levels without the feeling of heaviness.
