Some think that facial moisturizing is only for the vainest or only for people with dry-as-the-Sahara skin type. It is important however, for all of us to understand that it is a daily essential.
The basic use of a moisturizer is that it keeps our skin hydrated so we don’t look tired or unkempt. Another is to build a natural protection for our skin. Are those all a moisturizer could do? No. We corrected 2 of the most common myths about facial moisturizing for you. Read on.
“I’m already oily, so I don’t need it” Wrong. Whenever you wash your face, you strip off its natural oils, leaving it dry and vulnerable to allergens and antigens. Moisturizer helps bring back and seal your skin’s natural moisture to prevent epidermal drying and cracking.
“I’m acne-prone. It will make my breakouts worse!” No, it won’t. The right product will be your best friend! A moisturizer balances your skin to avoid breakouts that people with dry or oily skin are more prone to.
Now that we’ve cleared those myths, let’s move on to what you would miss if you skipped moisturizing.
You miss looking radiantly youthful. Your facial skin renews cells more often than your body. Not using a moisturizer would leave it vulnerable to dryness — making fine lines more noticeable. Daily moisturizing maintains your skin’s moisture level and prevents and removes wrinkles, hence firming your facial skin.
You miss getting the perfect canvas for fool-proof makeup application. To make your makeup products run smoothly on your skin, applying moisturizer is a must. It removes those little lines under your eyes that a concealer can’t, well, conceal.
You miss getting a brighter and supple complexion. That tight feeling after a shower? That’s your skin begging for hydration. You don’t want to feel dry yet oily all day, do you? Many moisturizing products promote skin firming as an added benefit while hydrating your skin.
You miss adding a layer of protection. Sucker for cosmetics? It usually contains harmful chemicals that easily enter your pores and wreak havoc on your skin unless you put on creams. It acts as a shield on top of your skin.
Assists your skin overnight. Your skin enters “repair mode” at night. By using creams with helpful nutrients, you help your skin do a better job at renewing your cells. Plus, you’ll wake up feeling visibly fresh and hydrated.
