Millions of the women worldwide nowadays would go so far on emptying their wallets and purses for the sake of beauty, from cosmetics to prescriptions and even surgeries.
But what about skin care products?
The two major reasons why people tend to skip moisturizer as their basic skincare regime are:
Moisturizers can cause acne.
Moisturizers can result in oily skin.
Now I’m sure most of you would agree to these assumptions. However, those are simply myths. Truth is, moisturizers are essential to all types of skin be it acne-prone, oily or even those who are blessed flawless.
WHAT MOST OF US DON’T KNOW...Moisturizers play a big role in keeping your skin smooth and supple and act as a protective layer to your skin. Whatever type of skin you have now needs hydration. An assistant clinical professor in Canada, Charles Lynde, indicated that an effective moisturizer will increase water content, reduce water loss, and restore the skin's ability to retain water. Thus, your skin will appear more healthy and glowing.
Some moisturizers will even mattify oily skin and prevent breakouts. As I went to do an interview with some of Malaysia’s beauty experts, Senior Consultant of Clinique, Salina, said that moisturizers help us to replenish our skin.
“It is recommended that we start wearing moisturizers after reaching puberty,” added Salina.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
With all these facts given, there is no excuse for us to avoid applying moisturizers on our skin. Being skin-conscious myself, I have been wearing moisturizers for quite some time since I graduated high school. I can say that after two years applying them on a daily basis, my skin feels healthier, smoother and prettier without any sort of irritation. I wear make up quite often so it is really important to keep a healthy and revitalized skin to avoid dryness and irritation.
Choose the best and most suitable moisturizer for you. Today, many types of moisturizers are made available for our skin needs. Sensitive, acne-prone, dry, normal, whichever! But be sure to know the correct use of it too, use it regularly, particularly twice a day. (And please, apply only when your skin is real clean!)
Of course, besides moisturizers we must drink plenty of water to keep our whole body rejuvenated and cleansed. Wear sun block that contains moisturizer if you are to go out under the sun. Anything else, just remember to be pretty please, with moisturizer on top!
XOXO,
