The Importance of Moisturization

The Importance of Moisturization 

 For healthy skin regular moisturization is essential. Are you one of those who moisturize their skin every day, but nothing is changing? The issue is your skin type. If you have dry skin, you need powerful moisturizers that can penetrate your skin deeply. If you have oily skin, then you need a comparatively less powerful moisturizer. Do not think just because you have oily skin you do not need a moisturizer.

Dry air, pollution, and the sun rip you off your natural beauty. They damage your skin and make it dry. To keep your skin from damage you need to moisturize it. Use a moisturizer that has multiple vitamins, if possible, use a 25 SPF moisturizer to keep your skin safe during the day. Prefer oil-free, dermatologist-tested, and non-comedogenic products.

When is the right time to moisturize?

The right time to moisturize is right after a bath. When you take shower while removing dirt and dead cells your pores are open. If you moisturize when your clogs are open moisturizer will get inside your skin deeply. Moisturize your skin twice every day. But try to moisturize the clean skin so it does not let dirt clog your pores.

Moisturizing is helpful in curing skin problems such as dryness and flakey skin. A proper moisturizing treatment will also help your skin develop too much oil or dryness. Moisturizers keep blemishes camouflaged and evens out the skin.

Keep in mind that oils are not moisturizers. They work as barriers that do not let the moisture out, but they cannot be used as moisturizers. If you use any oils such as coconut, almond and olive then use virgin oil. Virgin oils are pure and do not harm the skin.

If you have extreme dryness, see a doctor. Extreme dryness can break your skin and cause bleeding. Be extra careful during summer. If you do not know your skin type and what moisturizer will suit you then consult a dermatologist.
