How To Pick The Right Moisturizer For Your Skin
You have probably heard that if you wish to start caring for your skin, you only need a cleanser, a good moisturizer, and sunscreen. As the name suggests, the cleanser will clean your skin and remove pollution particles and residues built up throughout the day or night. The sunscreen you've already memorized: it's essential to prevent early skin aging and protect against UV rays. But the moisturizer, what is it that makes it so important?
In today's post, we will explain everything you need to know about the importance of moisturizing and how to pick the right moisturizer for your skin. Check it out!
MOISTURIZERS
Moisturizers are formulas that can come in the form of a cream, stick, or gel and, as the name suggests, keep the skin moisturized. Moisturized skin is essential to keep the skin's natural barrier strong, avoiding early aging and symptoms such as irritation and sensitivity. Besides that, moisturizing will also promote a healthier, glowing, and youthful looking skin.
WHY DO I NEED TO USE A MOISTURIZER?
70% of our bodies are water, a substance essential to the functioning of our organisms. Body hydration must also happen from the outside in, so we need to drink 2 liters a day to keep the body working.
When it comes to our skin, it's something like that. Just consider: if you need to ingest water to keep your body hydrated, you also need to apply moisturizer to keep the right skin hydration levels. It makes sense, right?
SKIN HYDRATION AND OILY SKIN
One of the biggest myths about skincare is that oily skin doesn't need hydration. Let us give you the answer in advance; this is not true; oiliness is not a synonym for hydration. Your skin could be producing sebum (oil) in excess because of the lack of moisturizing as it tries to keep the area hydrated. The tip is: to moisturize your skin daily, no matter your skin type!
HOW TO CHOOSE A MOISTURIZER FOR MY SKIN?
Not always a moisturizer will work for you, but that doesn't mean you should give up on moisturizing your skin. Try replacing a traditional formula with a product that meets your skin's specific needs, and that's when you will notice a difference.
