Why Do I Think Organic Moisturizer Is Best

People often ask me to say what moisturizer type I would call best moisturizer. For me like many other skin care products, moisturizer with no hard chemical ingredients in it is a best moisturizer. Moisturization is caused by water not chemicals and other ingredients are used to retain the moisturizing affect and taking care of general skin care. Therefore the main task of a moisturizer is to maintain adequate mositure content in the skin. You don't have to be unfair to your skin using products with chemicals just to maintain the water content of your skin..


Skin care with moisturizers also come with additional benefits containing ingredients for proper growth of the collagen and elastin keeping your skin young and firm. Moisturizer which can protect you from free radicals that are generated by exposure to sun due to the ultraviolet rays. Hence with these qualities a simple act of using moiturizer can work as anti-aging skin care.

Oil is used in moisturizers to retain the moisture it them and in the skin after their usage. But when you have an oily skin which at the first place produces more oil using a moisturizer which has less oil content and more of water based creams. White you need to used water based moisturizers for oily skin, a dry skin needs moisturizer with more oil content as it lacks the natural capacity to retain moisture. Like you can get suitable moisturizers with balanced ingredients to sensitive red skin and quite a normal skin.

Though they have extra benefits, moisturizers' main task is to keep your skin moisturized and hence using one with harsh chemicals in it is not wise. For this reason, there are many natural organic based are available and are considered the best type of moisturizers. The natural organic moisturizers contain natural ingredients like vitamin E, jojoba oil, avocado oil, babussa oil and more.

Many friends of mine who are beauticians and skin care experts not only recommend natural organic moisturizers and skin care products, they are slowly replacing the chemical based skin care products with these for their personal use.

The Best Way To Use Moisturizers

Using moisturizers is one of the important routines of skin care to maintain a young and glowing skin, but what is the best way to use moisturizers and which are the areas of primary importance for moisturization. It is important to know why and when to use moisturizer and when using it is prudent to know the quantity and the quality you need to used. Over using moisturizer even on a dry skin often results in dust particles adhering to the skin and clogging the sweat pores resulting in infections.

The areas you need to concentrate while skin care are generally your foreheads, nose, and cheeks. These areas would either be more oily or dry than other parts of your face depending on the skin type you have.

Using body lotions with moisturizing effects to the entire body is okay, but with regards to your face you need to take care of moisturizing it by selecting the suitable type and brand of moisturizer depending on your skin type and your skin condition. For examples there are moisturisers available for red and sensitive skin with soothing effects and ingredients suitable for very sensitive skin. You should also know that you cannot use heavy moisturizer meant for dry skins on sensitive skin type.

You need to know what is the correct quantity of moisturizer to be used as moisturizer usage changes with seasons as oily skin tend to become dry in winter and needs a different moisturizer from that used in summer months. This is true with other type of skins. Even the normal skin becomes dry in winter months.

So the best way to use a moisturizer is to know your skin type first and know how your skin feels in different seasons. Accordingly you can properly use moisturizer depending on what your skin actually demands generally depending on its type and particularly on the seasonal changes.
