Truths About Moisturizing

the Face

Why Moisturize? When you wash your face, the natural oils that it produces get stripped off, leaving your skin feeling dry and vulnerable. When a light layer of moisturizer is applied, the skin can be kept hydrated, healthy, and attractive. Therefore moisturizing is in fact an important portion of your skin care regimen.

Moisturizing Oily Skin

If you have oily skin, stronger facial cleansers may be used to strip off the excess oils produced. This can lead to an increase of dryness which again, requires a good moisturizer to reduce signs of dryness and premature aging. A tip for this skin type is to look for lotions instead of creams. You should also be on the lookout for exfoliating ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids.

Moisturizing Dry Skin

Weather conditions such as summer days or the cold winter can actually worsen your dryness. A tip for this skin type is to do the opposite of a person with dry skin: find a cream. This is especially true when dealing with winter weather. The key to your moisturizer choice is that the thicker the cream, the more moisture you will receive.

Whether you have dry or oily skin, just make sure you apply the moisturizer after using a good toner. Using a toner helps prime your skin and it becomes better at receive the moisturizer’s maximum benefits.
