Why use a facial moisturizer?

If you are still skipping moisturizer like the old me, get a moisturizer today. Because it revitalizes and replenishes your skin, and you're hurting your skin everyday. 

 

Overwashing your face will ruin the natural water balance of your skin. Irritant and environmental stress will cause sensitivity. Not to mention the ability for skin to keep moisture drops as we age.

 

Optimized moisturizing reduces skin problems. Aside from reducing the chance of developing extreme dryness or oiliness. Using a daily moisturizer ensures that the skin’s blemishes are camouflaged. Because optimized moisture can reduce redness.

Hydration is not Oily!

If you aren’t sold on moisturizer because you are afraid of oily feelings, you are not alone. In fact many people confuse oil with hydration.

 

We now have really great formulas and ingredients offering potent hydrating effects without making skin sticky. Hyaluronic acid and squalane are some good examples.

 

Proper hydration balances oil and water in the skin. And further supports a stronger barrier which then helps curb oil production. If you still have worries, pick a gel moisturizer or sorbet texture moisturizer.
