Moisturizing Your Skin
By on Mar 26, 2009 with Comments 0
People with great skin that is perpetually glowing, smooth and soft have obviously mastered the art of proper skin moisturizing. Our skins need to be well supplied with proper nutrients and hydration so as to sustain suppleness. A good moisturizer is therefore a necessity. Whenever the skin is feeling tense and taut you should apply some but this mustn’t be overdone for fear of pore clogging. A moisturizer is mandatory for all weather types – even in winter the skin tends to dry up. Your choice of moisturizer should not contain mineral oils as these tend to diminish the skin elasticity.
Apply the moisturizer only after you have cleansed and toned. Persons with oily skin or those who prefer to wear makeup are advised to apply moisturizers that have oil in water formulation as these are lighter. They are therefore best for daytime use. For dehydrated skin a richer moisturizer should be used instead. People with combination skin should use moisturizers with hydrating formulas. Only a light layer of moisturizer is required on the skin and the eye area should be avoided by all means to preempt puffiness.
Moisturizing cream should be applied twice on a daily basis so as to keep the skin healthy, hydrated, and supple. This applies for both winter and fall. Women who are into menopause need to appreciate that their reduced estrogen production also implies a reduced sebum production; this is the precursor to dry skin. A good moisturizer should help you out. The application of moisturizer prior to both foundation and makeup is significantly effective. Foundation tends to spread and blend easier when done over moisturizer and the makeup applied will also last longer. Taking off the makeup at the end of the day is also going to be a more pleasant experience if you had used moisturizer in the first place.
