This is the 200ml tub of the Original formula.

In a world of ever-longer skincare routines, Astral keeps things simple. One tub can moisturise your face, hands, elbows, knees and feet, and it can even remove make-up. Below you will find what it does, who it suits, how to use it and what is inside.

What Is Astral Intensive Moisturiser?

Astral Intensive Moisturiser is a rich cream with a long heritage. According to the brand, it has been made in the UK since 1953 and is designed to give skin intense moisturisation that lasts. The Original formula is suitable for all skin types and can be used on the face and body, day or night.

Its hero ingredients are lanolin, glycerin and petrolatum. Together, they help draw moisture into the skin and lock it in, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth and protected. The cream is also cruelty free and dermatologically tested.

• Face and body: one versatile cream for your whole body.
• Removes make-up: can also be used to take off make-up gently.
• All skin types: suitable for everyday use by the whole family.
• Cruelty free and dermatologically tested.

The Hero Ingredients

Lanolin

Lanolin is a rich emollient that has been used in skincare for generations. It helps soften the skin surface and supports a smooth, supple feel, which is why it appears in many classic creams for dry skin.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a humectant, which means it helps attract water to the skin. It supports hydration and helps skin feel comfortable rather than tight.

Petrolatum

Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, forms a light protective layer on the skin. This helps lock in moisture and reduces water loss, which is especially useful on rough, dry areas.

One Cream, Many Uses

Part of the appeal of Astral Intensive Moisturiser is how much one tub can do. Instead of buying separate products for every part of the body, many people keep a single tub on the dressing table and reach for it throughout the day. Popular everyday uses include:

• Face: a thin layer as a day or night moisturiser.
• Hands: after washing, to help keep hands soft.
• Elbows and knees: on rough patches that tend to look dry.
• Feet and heels: as a richer overnight treatment.
• Make-up removal: to gently lift away make-up at the end of the day.

Understanding Dry Skin

Dry skin happens when the outer layer of the skin loses water faster than it can replace it. Hot showers, harsh soaps, low humidity, air conditioning, sun exposure and ageing can all play a part. The result is skin that feels tight, looks dull and may become rough or flaky.

Moisturisers help in two main ways: humectants such as glycerin attract water, while emollients and occlusives such as lanolin and petrolatum soften the skin and help seal moisture in. A cream that combines both, like this one, covers both needs in a single step.

Who Is Astral Intensive Moisturiser For?

Astral Intensive Moisturiser suits you if you:

• Have dry or normal skin that needs long-lasting moisture.
• Want one cream for face, hands and body to keep your routine simple.
• Have rough patches on elbows, knees, heels or hands.
• Need a richer cream during winter or in air-conditioned rooms.
• Like a classic, trusted product with a long history.

The formula contains lanolin and fragrance, so anyone with a known sensitivity to these should avoid it. If your skin is sensitive, apply a little to a small area first. People with very oily or acne-prone skin may prefer a lighter product on the face.

How to Use Astral Intensive Moisturiser

As a moisturiser

1. Start with clean, slightly damp skin.
2. Take a small amount with clean fingertips.
3. Warm the cream between your hands.
4. Massage gently into face or body until absorbed.
5. Use morning or night, as often as needed.

As a make-up remover

1. Apply a little cream over the made-up area.
2. Massage gently to loosen make-up.
3. Wipe away with a soft cotton pad or tissue, then rinse if you like.

Avoid contact with eyes. For external use only.

Astral Intensive Moisturiser in Bangladesh’s Climate

Bangladesh’s weather swings between hot, humid summers and drier winters. Many people find that their skin feels fine in the monsoon, then becomes tight and rough once the cooler months arrive. Long hours under fans and air conditioning, frequent washing and strong soaps can make dryness worse all year round.

A rich cream is ideal in winter, when you can use it generously on hands, feet, knees and elbows. In the hotter months, apply a thin layer, or use it as a night cream so it can work while you sleep. Because it suits both face and body, it is also a handy cream to keep in your travel bag.

Tips for Getting the Best Results

• Little and often: a small amount goes a long way, so build up layers only where needed.
• Overnight care for heels and hands: apply a thicker layer at night and wear cotton socks or gloves.
• After washing: apply straight after a shower or hand wash to help lock in moisture.
• Keep it clean: use clean fingers or a small spatula and close the lid tightly.
• Daytime protection: pair any moisturiser with sunscreen when you go outdoors.
