Moisturizers are the most common and best selling products in the skincare industry. With the continuous development of skincare technology, most moisturizers do not provide moisturizing function only, but also whitening and anti-aging for example.
Moisturizers are specially structured (molecules) and formulated to retain moisture to our skin. It is sometimes difficult to choose the best moisturizer as there are so many choices. Price obviously does not tell you anything. The best way is to test it with samples.
Most skincare products are slightly alkaline because of the chemicals added. These chemicals are added in order to achieve transparent or translucent texture. Such slightly alkaline products may affect the natural sebum layer, especially with prolonged use. Therefore, in order to choose a good moisturizer, you may test the sample with a piece of pH paper to see if it is too alkaline.
Moisturizers
The main function of moisturizer is to maintain a moisture oil balance in our skin. In order to enhance this function, some effective ingredients may be added to the skincare products. Common ingredients may Hyaluronic Acid, Poly Saccharide, Essential Oils and Vitamin B5. Molecular sizes of these ingredients are larger and therefore can retain moisture more effectively.
Unless the skincare products are 100 percent natural, there are different chemicals included in the products. These chemicals may consist of fragrances, mineral oils and preservatives, which are harmful and irritating to our skin. After using these chemical skincare products for a period of time, our skin may become weak, dull and sensitive. As such, we may claim that the skincare products are ineffective. In order to maintain skin health, we should choose those natural moisturizers that are without fragrance, mineral oil and preservative.
The continuous development of skincare technology enables more and more functions in a bottle of moisturizer. Actually, these increasing functions such as whitening, anti-aging and UV protection, may reduce the moisturizing effect. Therefore, you should expect a lower overall efficacy for a all-in-one moisturizer. It is advised that a simple moisturizer should be chosen by those having severely dry skin in order to maximize the moisturizing effect.
