Moisturising and its benefits

by

Mois­tur­iz­ing – the cor­ner­stone of good skin care. Mois­tur­iz­ing forms a bar­ri­er be­tween the skin and en­vi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions, help­ing to form a fine, pro­tec­tive lay­er that en­ables the skin to re­tain the mois­ture it re­quires.

Over­all, mois­tur­is­ing is es­sen­tial for all types of skin, in­clud­ing oily and dry skin. Dry skin and age­ing skin de­rive the max­i­mum ben­e­fits from a mois­turis­er as a lack of mois­ture on the skin caus­es it to be­come dry and more prone to wrin­kling.

Mois­turis­ers come in two forms: liq­uid and cream. Rich, liq­uid and cream mois­turis­ers take care of dry and wrin­kled skin. Wa­ter-based, oil free mois­turis­er works best for oily skin. Herbal mois­turis­ers are very light. They not on­ly help to pro­tect the skin, but al­so as­sist in evap­o­rat­ing ex­cess of mois­ture.

Ide­al­ly, mois­turis­ers are ap­plied af­ter a thor­ough cleans­ing and ton­ing of your skin. Mois­turis­er may be used be­fore ap­ply­ing make-up to serve as a pro­tec­tive base, so use a mois­turis­er on light con­sis­ten­cy, as it will as­sist your make-up to hold bet­ter.

For dry skin, you may ap­ply a mois­turis­er even af­ter a face pack. Ap­ply ex­tra mois­turis­er on your fore­head and cen­tre of brows and all over the neck. At night, dry skin re­quires a heav­ier mois­turised feed for your skin. Most im­por­tant­ly, an ex­cel­lent mois­turis­er pro­tects skin from pre­ma­ture age­ing caused by an over­ex­po­sure of sun­light and is a good rem­e­dy for de­plet­ing mois­ture bal­ance.

Despite finding out just three days earlier—on December 23—that I had breast cancer, I still got dressed and showed up on December 26, Boxing Day, for a birthday party. I didn’t go to escape the truth. I went to remind myself I was still here, still living, still me.
