Let’s face it – our skin types are different!

New Johnson’s Daily Essentials Range

Specifically designed to care for normal, dry and combination skin.

Let's face it - there is no mystery to skincare! Just like brushing your teeth it's a daily routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising. What could be simpler than that, however, did you know that using the wrong skincare routine for your skin type can disrupt your skin's natural pH balance?

Sometimes... admit it!... we are not very kind to our skin. Healthy skin comes from having a good daily facial skin care routine. Understanding your skin will also help you avoid choosing the wrong product routine for you (e.g. using products for combination skin on dry skin) which can disrupt your skin’s natural pH balance.

Our lifestyle also has a major influence on our skin including age, diet, exercise and sleep patterns, plus our exposure to varying environmental factors means our skin constantly has to adapt. With products for every skin type, it can be difficult to identify which is right for you; normal, dry or combination? Using the right products for your skin type will make you more aware of what works with you and not against you….

Two years in the making and developed by 30 R&D scientists and experts, the new Daily Essentials range of cleansers and moisturisers is specifically designed to care for normal, dry and combination skin…

Daily Essentials 24hour day creams suit the specific needs of each skin type with vitamins, minerals and SPF15 which fights against the damaging effects of the sun.
