Yes that's right the best facial moisturizer isn't actually a moisturizer. But first lets look first at what a moisturizer is and what it should do for your skin.
A moisturizer is designed to improve the hydration in your skin. Or in other words it helps the skin keep moisture in the skin cells. And if the skin dries out it becomes less supple, it looks and feels drier. And it can be more prone to skin damage.
As well as protecting itself better skin that is better moisturized just looks and feels good. And many different moisturizers help protect the skin in different ways, for example by including a sunscreen.
Unfortunately there are a number of products including moisturizers that contain suspect ingredients.
For example you ought to avoid moisturizers that contain mineral oil. And many do. Why? because mineral oil coats your skin in oil and this can cause skin problems itself, like exacerbating acne problems.
And I also believe that you shouldn't use a moisturizer with a sunscreen in it either. Yes it is vital to protect your skin from the effects of sunburn, but there are some ingredients in sunscreens that some believe can cause cancer. Now if you use your moisturizer every single day as you should you are putting on a suspect sunscreen every day when it's unlikely that you could possibly need a sunscreen every day.
So when looking for the best facial moisturizer you need to consider the ingredients in it. There are ingredients in many skin care products, including facial moisturizers, that can cause skin reactions and allergies believe it or not.
So choosing the wrong facial moisturizer can in fact do more damage to your skin than good. Now lets answer the question about which is the best facial moisturizer.
Personally I believe that the best facial moisturizer is in fact a range of natural anti aging skin care products from a small niche skin care products company that, chances are, you've never heard of.
This small company a range of natural skin care products that are targeted to overall skin health rather than just moisturizing the skin. So if you visit their website you won't actually find a moisturizer there at all. However if you use the products youll find that they moisturize better than any other product on the market. And that is intentional.
They don't use mineral oil or a sunscreen for the reasons I've already talked about and they add ingredients to their skin care products that moisturize extremely well.
Ingredients such as Jojoba Oil. Jojoba Oil is an excellent natural oil and helps protect the skin from moisture loss by forming a layer on the skin to do so, and it is also absorbed into the skin cells thereby softening the skin. It is entirely non allergenic, (as are all the ingredients they use) and it is good for all skin types.
These types of natural skin care ingredients are beneficial for every skin type, so there are no products for different skin types.
Another essential ingredient in the best facial moisturizers is Vitamin B5, which moisturizes and also helps provide some natural protection against sun damage. It also helps repair skin tissue.
Or sorbitol, which can be found in grapes and berries and seaweeds and others, and helps the skin retain it's moisture as well. And Capuacu oil from the seeds of the Capuacu tree which helps the skin retain moisture and smooths the skin.
So hopefully you get the idea. The best moisturizer is in fact a range of skin care and skin health products that moisturize better than any others, but which also come as a complete skin care routine that leaves your skin healthier and looking and feeling better, and better moisturized.
And at a reasonable price. So if youre looking for the best facial moisturizer it may surprise you to know that the best facial moisturizer is not in fact a moisturizer at all, but is in fact the best skin care products that moisturize extremely well, for all skin types, as a part of a complete skin health program.
