Overview:
A very essential part of obtaining a
beautiful and gorgeous looking skin is a moisturizer. Acting as a
barricade between our skin and the air molecules, the moisturizer
prevents the elimination of water from the skin that maintains the
natural moisture. Mostly people assume that applying moisturizer to the
skin waters it and makes it beautiful and glowing. But that not might be
the case every time. The primary purpose of a moisturizing cream is to
grab the natural water that the skin produces. Although it is a
temporary way of storing our skin water and protecting the skin but
mostly all beauty care products do the same job.
The major purpose
of a skin moisturizer is to give your skin a smoother surface and a
glowing effect. The moisturizing cream plumps the skin which gives you a
very silky and downy feeling with a refreshing impact. The advantages
that are a part of the moisturizing your skin includes a better looking
skin i.e. not dry or patchy, soothing redness and itchy skin and also to
maintain the natural beauty. Most of these cream have SPF in them which
guards you from the sun and also cures the already sun damaged part of
the skin.
Well, although it is quite necessary to keep your skin
moisturized but this process comes along with a good list of do's and
don'ts. Always remember these few tips while using any moisturizing
cream on your skin.
DOS:
1) Do scour wet skin:
The
very first do in your list should be damping your skin before applying
anything on it. So make sure when you are taking a shower you apply a
good moisturizing cream on your face. Application of the cream should be
done a wet surfaced skin to give better effect because when you scrub
your dry skin, it leads to damaging the upper layer of your dermis.
2) Use facial cream and not a body cream on the face:
The
moisturizing cream for your face is very much different from the cream
which is used for the body. Our skin is very sensitive and it has
thinner layers as compared to any body part. So always use a
moisturizing cream which is meant for the skin and not for the body. A
good exfoliating cream is meant to scrub off all the dead skin cells but
using the one which is meant for your body may prove to be quite harsh
on the face skin.
3) Maintain a healthy diet:
Moisturizing
is not only done by external products. you should be internally healthy
to see the perfect glow on your face. Eat products that are high in
protein and fiber especially Vitamin C. These elements give your skin
the moisture from within. Eat lot of fruits like pineapple and papaya as
they help in excreting out the bad elements in the body and making you
healthy consequently showing results on the skin.
4) Hydration:
It
is very important to keep your body hydrated. Choose a good hydrating
moisturizing cream and drink lots of water. Consume a t least 6-8
glasses of water each day as a duty. Water is a great source for
rejuvenating our skin. It gives glow and prevents pimples and other skin
diseases.
Don'ts:
1) Do not wash your face with
soap. Soaps are harsh for your skin and can damage it. Always choose a
medically fit light soap or a good soap free liquid cleanser.
2)
Never scrub your face with coarse pads, grainy towels or washcloths.
Make sure you just pat on the skin to dry it out with a soft towel or
tissues.
3) Skin moisturizers can act differently on various skin
types. For oily skin, a skin moisturizer is a bad idea. Instead you can
use some light lotions meant for oily sins only. So before you choose a
skin moisturizer for yourself, always determine your skin type.
