Moisturizers
To maintain healthy skin, you must seal in your hydrating gel with a moisturizer. This technique works much like a greenhouse: after watering plants, one covers them with plastic to prevent the water from evaporating. Similarly, skin loses a lot of its natural moisture through evaporation and is particularly affected by extreme temperatures, sun exposure, wind exposure, and low humidity conditions found in buildings with central heating and in airplanes. Using harsh soaps, astringents, or medications also affects the skin's moisture. To counteract these factors, the skin needs a moisturizer with the correct proportions of water and oil to form a suitable barrier.For best results, you should apply moisturizers to skin that's still damp from a hydrating gel or serum. Applying moisturizers to damp skin ensures that the skin can hold more water; this temporarily plumps up fine, parched lines. Moisturizers also protect your skin against environmental pollution and free radical attack, which leads to aging. You may require different moisturizers for day and night or for different times of the year.
