A moisturizer is a skincare product designed to hydrate, protect, and nourish the skin by locking in moisture. It helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier, preventing dryness, irritation, and premature aging.

Benefits of Using a Moisturizer:

Hydrates the skin – Keeps skin soft and smooth.
Prevents dryness and flakiness – Essential for maintaining skin balance.
Strengthens the skin barrier – Protects against environmental damage and irritation.
Controls oil production – Even oily skin needs hydration to prevent overproduction of sebum.
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles – Keeps skin plump and youthful-looking.

Types of Moisturizers:

💧 Gel Moisturizers – Lightweight and water-based, ideal for oily and combination skin.
🌿 Lotion Moisturizers – Light yet hydrating, perfect for normal to combination skin.
🧴 Cream Moisturizers – Thicker and deeply nourishing, best for dry or mature skin.
🛡 Balms & Occlusives – Rich formulas that lock in moisture, suitable for very dry or sensitive skin.
🌞 SPF Moisturizers – Combine hydration with sun protection for daytime use.

How to Use a Moisturizer:

  1. Cleanse and tone your skin.
  2. Apply serum or treatment (if using).
  3. Take a pea-sized amount of moisturizer and gently massage it onto your face and neck.
  4. Follow with sunscreen (AM routine).

Using a moisturizer daily is key to keeping your skin healthy, balanced, and glowing!
