Perfect Skin Care, Skin Moisturizer

February 10, 2010




Your skin plays a big role in your entire body system, apart from the benefit of beauty. It provides an external shield against harmful components in the environment – which potentially puts it at risk of getting damaged too.

How will you take care of it?

Ignorance of the essential care it needs could lead to skin dryness or dehydration and other serious skin conditions like cancer. You owe it to your skin to give it the best care you can, such as moisturizing.

Applying moisturizer to your skin is one of the ways you can prevent it from getting damaged and avoid skin dehydration. It could be in the form of balms, creams, oils, lotions and gels. They are all designed to accommodate various skin types and needs.

What moisturizer to choose?

First and foremost, know your skin condition. Moisturizers do actually come in two different kinds, the Lipids and Humectants. While Lipids moisturizers block skin moisture from evaporating, the Humectants moisturizers get absorbed into the skin easily on application. So evaluate your environment and the hazards your skin deals with everyday.

In addition, Sun Protection Factor (SPF) content of moisturizer must be considered too. Ideally, SPF 15 would provide the kind of sun protection your skin needs.

When buying beauty products, it pays to check the ingredients. There may be a chemical compound that will cause adverse side effects on your skin. If you look closely, you can find moisturizers made from organic ingredients. This is advisable as they are less potent.

Tips to properly apply moisturizer

Generally, you must make it a habit to read proper application method indicated on the label of the product you are using. Here are tips that can help you get the best result your moisturizer can give to your skin.

Apply after every shower. The perfect time to apply moisturizer is after every shower. Loss of moisture will be prevented as the skin absorbs it easily during this period. This is also recommended for people with dry sensitive skin.

Apply twice daily. Ideally, moisturizer must be applied twice daily and as much as possible, try to cover as much of the skin as possible. Moisturizing creams are perfect for your face. Using your fingertips, dot the cream lightly on your face and spread evenly.

Follow meticulously other skin care routine. Treatments for pimples and other skin conditions must be followed seriously even when using skin moisturizers. It is advisable for makeup users to adopt a face regimen every morning and night that completely cleanses away the makeup, dust and dirt.
