Moisturizer is a cosmetic product that must be present in the makeup bag of every woman. At absolutely any age, the health and beauty of the face depend on the degree of hydration. Skin moistened with moisture will not cause any unpleasant sensations, it will not be rough, lethargic or reddened, and the feeling of tightness and irritation will not be familiar.
Water is very important for all biochemical processes occurring in the body, and therefore it is precisely this that is the main secret of elastic and young skin.
In the event that the epidermal cells lack moisture, the biological systems slow down and the skin becomes lethargic, dry and irritated. A good moisturizer will help to quickly cope with such problems and provide effective both external and internal hydration, helping the skin retain additional moisture.
If necessary, you can start using such cosmetic products at any age, given that moisture is necessary all year round: in the warm season, the skin is dehydrated due to exposure to sunlight, and in the cold - from cold, wind and central heating. It is especially worth emphasizing that the moisturizer is perfect for use on any type of skin, whether it is normal, dry or oily. It is a deep misconception to consider that for a person with a large number of black spots and enlarged pores, cosmetic products that help retain moisture should not be used.
If the skin is characterized by oily sheen and acne, then a properly selected moisturizer for oily skin, on the contrary, will help to quickly deal with these problems and bring the face to perfect condition. The most important thing is to correctly approach the selection process and remember well that all cosmetic products in this category can be divided into three main groups.
The first group is occlusive preparations, which do not allow the moisture in the skin to evaporate. Such products, as a rule, contain mineral oils and petroleum jelly. The face remains hydrated as long as it has a moisturizer on it. The second group is hygroscopic substances that are able to bind water. These include hyaluronic acid, glycerin and sorbitol. The effect of such moisturizing is rather unstable, and far from being as positive as, for example, when using occlusive preparations. And finally, the third group is products that stimulate the activity of the skin's natural moisture-retaining functions. The effect of the use of such substances is not immediately apparent, but is very persistent. The best moisturizer contains substances from all three of these groups. In order to correctly determine which particular group a particular product belongs to, you just need to look at the composition indicated on the package.
In order to verify the effectiveness of the moisturizer, it should be used for at least one to two months. If as a result of this, the skin of the face has become less dry, irritated and sensitive, then the moisturizer really works.
