The Importance of Moisturizer for Face

Cleansing, scrubbing, toning, you did it all, but your skincare routine is incomplete without a good moisturizer for face. Our skin needs much more than just keeping the pores dirt-free. It needs elasticity for longevity. Moisturizer cream is a magical ingredient to feed your skin and keep it happy and healthy. Apply daily and watch most of your skin woes disappear. Dermatologists around the world have time and again stressed the importance of applying a moisturizer for the face twice daily even during hot, humid Indian summers.

How does a skin cream for your face affect your skin?

Some of you out there might think of moisturizing your skin daily as an added hassle. However, moisturizer is a non-skippable component of your basic daily skincare routine, especially in presence of reduced epidermal water content. Moisturizers are formulated to hold the water content of the skinâ€™s outer layer and keep your skin healthy.

Tips to use a moisturizer cream:

A face moisturizer usually comes in the last step of a skin-care routine. Wash your face with a good cleanser and follow it up with a toner, a day cream and a hydrating serum. Now, lightly apply the face cream on your face and neck, with your fingertips, and massage well onto your skin.

An especially important hack that makeup artists swear by is using tinted moisturizers to correct a darker foundation tone. During online shopping, it often happens that you end up with the wrong foundation shade. If it is one or two shades darker than your skin, you can mix in some tinted moisturizer to your liquid foundation to lighten the shade, and voila! You are done. This means you get both, a great blending product to customize your makeup and a soothing moisturizer, for a single moisturizer price. You should also choose a cream that addresses the skin problem. Like if your skin is uneven toned and patchy, a pigmentation serum along with moisturiser for the face will work. A serum in the skincare regimen is a good idea. You can choose a safe one like Retinol Serum. It is a derivative of Vitamin A and works wonders for aging signs, acne and uneven skin texture.Â Â

A Guide to choosing the best moisturizer for your face based on your skin type.

Each person has a different skin type and their needs are different. Skincare does not follow the â€˜one-fits-all kind of thing. Your skincare should be tailored to your specific needs and concerns. Here we have discussed different skin types and their specific needs.

1. Face Moisturizer for dry skin

Dry skin is flaky, itchy and you might have redness around your cheeks. Go for an oil-based product that will seal your skin and lock in moisture. Look for humectants like lactic acid, a gentle form of alpha-hydroxy acid that helps the skin keep its natural moisture. If your skin is extremely dry or cracked, then look for a heavier moisturizer containing lanolin. You can begin by using a moisturizer for your face and then following it up with a Vitamin C serum during the day time. The serum helps the skin glow. Infact popularly, the Vitamin C serum is also called the brightening serum. At night, follow the same rule, except change the Vitamin C serum with a hyaluronic acid serum.

2. Face Moisturizer for oily skin

Oily skin is shiny and can feel greasy, but it still needs a face moisturizer cream. It is advisable to go for a water-based oil-free lotion or gel, with humectants like glycerine, urea, or an effective hyaluronic acid Serum. Make sure it is non-comedogenic, which means it minimizes clogged pores. Gently apply a light layer of moisturizer after you wash your face.

3. Face Moisturizer for combination skin

Combination skin requires the best face moisturizers with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile. The fragrance is often a common irritant in moisturizers so itâ€™s best to use unscented moisturizers.
