Using facial moisturizers helps to hydrate the skin. The absence of
hydration results in dryness that can damage or prematurely age the
skin. When dryness sets in there are several conditions that can occur.
Some these include: a weathered or leathery appearance, flakey skin,
rashes, itchiness and early onset of lines and wrinkles.
To minimize these effects, use facial moisturizers to hydrate and protect
the healthy balance of your skin. It’s best to take your skin
type into consideration when shopping for facial moisturizers. Dry skin
will need more moisture, whereas oily skin will need a lighter formula.
Combination or sensitive skin types may need to find products created
especially for their skin.
One of the most important parts of a skin care routine is sunscreen.
If you would like to skip a separate sunscreen application on your face,
you may want to consider facial moisturizers that have sunscreen in
them. This is a convenient added protection for your face.
