Moisturizer is a cosmetic product that must be in every woman's makeup bag. At absolutely any age, the he alth and beauty of the face depend on the degree of moisture. Moisturized skin will not cause any discomfort, will not be rough, lethargic or reddened, and will not feel tight and irritated.
Water is very important for all biochemical processes occurring in the body, and therefore it is the main secret of elastic and young skin.
In the event that the cells of the epidermis do not have enough moisture, the work of biological systems slows down, and the skin becomes lethargic, dry and irritated. A good moisturizer will help to quickly deal with these types of problems and provide effective external and internal hydration, helping the skin to retain additionalmoisture.
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 of the face is dehydrated due to exposure to sunlight, and in cold weather - from cold, wind and central heating. It is especially worth emphasizing that a moisturizer is great for use on any type of skin, whether it is normal, dry or oily. It is a deep misconception that a face with a large number of blackheads and enlarged pores should not use cosmetic products that help retain moisture.
If the skin is characterized by oily sheen and acne, then the right moisturizer for oily skin, on the contrary, will help to quickly cope with these problems and bring the face into 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 that do not allow the moisture that is in the skin to evaporate. Such products, as a rule, contain mineral oils and petroleum jelly. The face stays hydrated as long as there is 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 moistening is rather unstable, and far from being as positive as, for example, withuse of occlusive preparations. And finally, the third group is products that stimulate the activity of the natural moisture-retaining functions of the skin. The effect of the use of such substances does not appear immediately, 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.
To ensure the effectiveness of a moisturizer, use it for at least one to two months. If this results in less dry, irritated, and sensitive skin, then a moisturizer really does work.
