How to choose the best moisturiser for your skin

June 6,2019
Share:

Moisturising your skin is a good skin care routine. However, it could be tricky choosing the right moisturisers. They have different ingredients suited for different skins.

Here is how to choose the best moisturiser for your skin:

*Understand your skin type

Understanding your skin type is the first step in finding a moisturizer that’s perfectly suited for your skin’s needs. Your skin type determines which kind of moisturizer you’ll need. For example, dry skin needs a thick cream to lock in moisture while sensitive skin needs products that won’t cause redness or irritation. Oily skin needs a lightweight lotion that won’t clog pores or increase oiliness.

*Moisturize after washing

You might have the best intentions when it comes to moisturizers but sabotage yourself by applying at the wrong time. The best time to apply a moisturizer is right after you’ve washed your face. The warm water you use while washing will remove oil and leave your face as clean as can be. Once your face is clean and dry, apply your moisturizer. Your skin will soak up the moisturizer, giving you a base that’ll hydrate your skin all day long. Aim to get into the habit of applying moisturizer both in the morning and at night before you head to bed and always wash your face first.

*Let it penetrate

When you’re applying moisturizer, you should let it sink in for about 60 seconds before you apply foundation or other products. Waiting just one minute allows the product to penetrate your skin, giving your cells the moisture they crave.

*Use sun protection daily

One of the best ways you can protect yourself from skin cancer, skin damage, and signs of early ageing is by wearing sunscreen on a daily basis. Every day, you should apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 or higher. No matter your skin type, you can find a speciality moisturizer that includes sunscreen.

*Avoid moisturisers with harsh ingredients

Not all moisturizers are created equal. Some moisturizers can actually do the exact opposite of what they claim, drying out or harming the skin. Many products even contain ingredients that may irritate or damage skin. Make sure you check your moisturizer’s ingredient labels for perfumes and dyes, an excess of acids, steroidal ingredients and alcohol.
