Skin Moisturizers
An Overview
Of Skin Moisturizers
Moisturizers are designed to reduce water loss from the epidermis.
These do not reverse sun damage but they do prevent further dryness. They
also can protect the barrier to soot and dirt and there is a temporary
feeling of smoothness when these are used. The skin may swell slightly
and cause some loss of fine wrinkles. The pores may appear to be smaller
because of this swelling. Moisturizing is not required for those
with oily skin.
Skin Moisturizers For Different
Skin Types
Dry Skin: There are a small percentage of people who actually have
dry skin on their face, these people will be dry on the cheeks and jawline.
Many of these patients work outside in rough elements, and many of these
people are over 50 years of age. For these patients a creamy moisturizer
in a lotion or cream is very effective. If they do not have sensitive
skin, they can wear whatever products feels good...
