Remember the days when in winters your cheeks would first turn pink and then the skin would turn dry and get hardened? That was the result of the drying up of your facial skin. The same happens to almost all your skin as the dryness in the atmosphere, cold and chill robs you of all the moisture in your body tissue. Your skin needs to be safeguarded from the onslaught of the elements in Nature that otherwise tend to dehydrate your skin. This is where the moisturizers come in the picture as they help prevent the dryness and keep your skin moist, supple and healthy.
There is a huge market out there that creates, promotes and sells moisturizers. Yet, like many other beauty products one is left to wonder how does it help me? Quite often the beauty products that we use do not really have much of scientific data or research to support their claims and even when it is published and proclaimed; quite often it is not really up to the mark. Most of us have used, are using or will use moisturizers at some or the other point in time.
Types of moisturizers
The moisturizers come in all categories of skin – Dry, combination and oily. Even oily skin tends to lose its luster and turn wrinkly and dull in the absence of external moisturizing supplements. To meet the requirement of these skin types the moisturizers come in basically two categories. One is Concealer which provides the strongest coverage and this type of moisturizers range from modest to full coverage. The other type is the Tinted Moisturizer (TM) which is much like a foundation cream with rather thin consistency. This is ideal for oily skin as it provides minimal coverage and keeps the skin hydrated.
How does a moisturizer work?
There are many ways or reasons because of which our skin tends to lose its moisture content. It can be the weather, atmosphere, air or even a face wash or cosmetics that are doing the damage. The essential function of a moisturizer is to prevent your skin from drying out and it does so by holding on to the water in the outermost layer of your skin (stratum corneum). Besides the application of the moisturizer creates a layer on your skin that keeps the natural body oil from leaving the skin and prevents the dirt and pollution from harming the protected area.
How does it help?
It helps remove the signs of aging
Protects your skin against Free Radicals
Saves your skin from environmental damage
Draws moisture to your skin
It works as a good foundation for any kind of makeup application
A moisturizer should be used in the morning before applying makeup and at night after removing make up and before going to bed. There is no doubt about the fact that a good regimen of daily miniaturization keeps your skin looking supple, shiny and healthy. You should use a moisturizer regardless of any skin type (dry, oily, combo or normal). Just make sure that you are picking the right kind of moisturizer for your skin. You should also keep in mind to have a different moisturizer for the face and the rest of the body because very often the skin on your face is far more sensitive and can erupt in irritation or breakouts if the moisturizer is strong.
