A moisturizing cream is the literal translation of a moisturizer, a word that we often encounter when it comes to taking care of your face. But what exactly is a moisturizer and how do you choose the right moisturizer in the jungle of Skincare? Put on your expedition outfit, because we are going to dive into that jungle today.
What is a moisturizer and what does it do?
It is not a party to have a tight, itchy, red skin. Also, you are not particularly happy with a skin with acne, impurities or a cool shine. Fortunately, you don't have to accept your fate for what it is, because a moisturizer can help you well in these areas. A moisturizing cream ensures that your skin is well hydrated and let it be necessary for having healthy skin. If your skin is well hydrated, it will be better protected against external influences. The better your skin can retain moisture, the less you will suffer from all the irritations that a skin can give.
A moisturizer comes in many different shapes, sizes and textures. So it can be one day cream, night cream or serum are. It is mainly about the function: introduce moisture. And a lot too! Your skin will immediately indicate whether the right moisturizer has caught. Your skin will then look healthier, younger, fuller and brighter. We also call this the "moisturizing cream effect." You have to be sure that you choose a moisturizer that fits your skin type, otherwise it is of course not a match made in heaven. So take a good look first which skin type you have.
Moisturizer for dry skin
Your skin can pull, flake, turn red and you can even suffer from eczema. You dry skin Screams for one thing: hydration! A moisturizing cream can therefore also be the solution for all your skin problems. Always look for a nice fat moisturizer that can penetrate deep into your skin. The magic words? Shea Butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, etc. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin are also ingredients to filter on, these are real moisture inputs.
Moisturizer for oily skin
You probably know it. A shiny, oily skin after a few hours and you are always easily susceptible to impurities. Not exactly a fun either. And now we often hear it "but my skin is too fat, then I will not hydrate it, do I?" Wrong! A oily is even the result of a oily skin type combined with a dehydrated skin condition. That is why it is just as important to properly hydrate oily skin. In addition to cool moisturizers, you also have moisturizers on water -based that have been specially developed for oily skin. So never choose the cool moisturizers, but there may be fats in your moisturizer. For example, take a look at linoleic acid, an oil that has already proven itself for oily skin.
Moisturizer for sensitive skin
With the sensitive skin type, your skin will immediately indicate whether it values something or does not appreciate something. Your skin quickly gives reactions to fabrics and can then irritate. On some essential oils, your skin is not completely tasty, such as citrus or cinnamon. Fortunately, Moisturizers have been developed especially for this skin type! So hydrate: yes. Perfume, dyes, etc.: no. Prefer a natural moisturizer. For this skin type, for example, niacinamide, panthenol, vitamin C, vitamin E and allantoin are active substances that work well. Always make sure you choose a moisturizer for sensitive skin.
Moisturizer for mixed or normal skin
Can we congratulate you on the fact that your skin has few problems? Great, because this is the skin type that is the nicest to have! Yet your skin can also dry out (slightly), which is why a moisturizer is always a fine boost.
When you have a mixed skin type, different parts of your face react differently than other parts. This way you can respond differently than your cheeks and chin on different creams. So you can opt for two different moisturizers and use them in different areas. You can also opt for one moisturizer for your entire face, pay attention to ingredients such as calendula, chamomile, witch hazel, lemon balm, etc. These ingredients have antibacterial, enlightening, pore-painting and will regulate your sebum production.
What is the best moisturizing cream for men?
What the best moisturizer is therefore completely depends on your skin type. We recommend it (mildly) to use a moisturizer for dry skin if you have oily skin yourself. Also always check your own preferences. For example, you have vegan moisturizers, natural moisturizers, etc. Read the description carefully and check the ingredient list!
