“You don’t ever want to appear like you’re wearing too much makeup. If you have a heavy eye and a heavy lip, people are like, ‘Wow, what are you trying to cover up?’” That comment was reportedly quoted from Taylor Swift. However, you can’t really get away with amazing skin without an amazing makeup if you don’t have raw, beautiful skin underneath.
The skin health headline.
Do you know what the most basic product you can give your skin is? It’s a skin moisturizer, from your face, down to your toes. Here are 5 of the most important things you need to know about moisturizing your face:
1. There is a right kind of moisturizer that suits every skin type. If you have oily skin, you have to make sure that your moisturizer is formulated without the grease. Look for fast-absorbing, oil-free products to cut the shine. Lotions and serums will best suit your skin type. On the other hand, of you have dry skin, you will need help from more serious ingredients that include co-enzyme Q10 or hyaluronic acid, as well as from emollients like glycerin. Make sure that your product does not contain drying alcohols.
2. Skin at any age needs to be moisturized. Babies’ skin are awesome! Nevertheless, pediatricians still recommend baby oil. You needed moisturizers from when you were a teenager and will continue to do so until you are beyond 60.
3. Not all moisturizers effectively moisturize your skin. Your moisturizer is only as good as it is characterized by three important considerations. First, it has to be suitable for your skin type and specific skin concerns. Second, it has to be suitable for your age. Third, it has to be rid of harsh chemicals and irritating ingredients.
Some of the most beneficial ingredients that you must feed your skin include antioxidants, most especially a combination Niacinamide, Vitamin A and Vitamin C. For older skin types beyond age 30, ceramides, peptides, retinol, collagen, skin brightening ingredients, hyaluronic acid and co-enzyme Q10 will also be helpful.
4. Your go-to skin moisturizers need to be altered depending on the season. Changing seasons need varying types and levels of skincare. Your moisturizer for summer must be lighter, easier to penetrate your skin. Moisturizer for colder months are required to be thicker. In any case, layering moisturizers may be necessary, again depending on your skin’s peculiar requirements.
5. Using an ordinary skin moisturizer alone will never be enough to protect your skin from multiple signs of skin aging. We love moisturizers for keeping our skin supple, silky and smooth. In the long run, the ultimate impact that we are all looking for is delayed skin aging. However, moisturizing alone will not keep wrinkles and age spots away.
Other things you can do to keep your skin moisturized.
Listed below are other things you can do to keep your skin from prematurely aging and promote youthful skin for as long as you can:
Keep your body hydrated. Eat a balanced diet and keep drinking lots of water throughout the day. Your skin is an extension of your body. By fuelling your body with the good stuff, your skin gets the nutrients it needs to stay healthy too. Regular exercise will complement a healthy diet which will improve nutrient circulation and keep muscles and the attached skin firm too.
Sleep well. By that, we mean that you must get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep, most nights at least if you cannot help but be up until midnight on some days.
Install a humidifier indoors. At your home or the office, a humidifier helps keep the healthy balance of moisture indoors so that the air around you does not suck out moisture from your skin.
Strike a balance in your life. Shield yourself from chronic stress. Unwind periodically and better learn to manage your stressors, including stressful people, too.
Use sunscreen daily, without fail. Sun damage is the primary cause of skin aging. Beyond religiously applying your sunscreen throughout the day, everyday, you must also ensure that your sunscreen is not laden with harmful ingredients that can inflame and cause your skin to age.
CONCLUSION.
Getting yourself a good moisturizer — a product that actually works to address your specific skin issues — is the best investment that you can make to benefit your skin. Make sure that you are getting the right one by getting to know your skin a little bit better every single day.
