Although skin naturally produces oils, the amount is often insufficient to keep our skin fully moisturized because moisture in the deepest layers of skin ascends to the surface and is quickly lost to evaporation. Skin is said to be dry when the moisture content is less than 10%.
What are moisturizers? Moisturizers are smooth, oily substances that replace natural skin oils, repair skin barriers, reduce dryness by providing a protective layer against evaporation and restore the skin's ability to attract, hold and redistribute water. They are suitable for people of all ages, especially those with sensitive skin.
They can also help burned skin or scars to heal faster, and can combat fine line and wrinkles, thus improving your appearance and delaying the signs of ageing. Basically, moisturizers restore flexibility and elasticity to skin and prevent dehydration. Moisturizers are suitable for all skin types, and can even help with conditions like eczema and acne.
Some areas of the body, especially where there is thicker skin, as well as the face, which is exposed to more stress than other areas, require extra protection with moisturizers. However, not all moisturizers are created equal and their effectiveness depends on the ingredients.
Moisturizers that use high quality vegetable derived ingredients and special filtration procedures to remove any impurities in its formula are designed specifically for sensitive skin. These high quality moisturizers should not irritate your skin or contain potential allergens (colours, fragrances or impurities). We live in stressful time and our skin is constantly exposed to dehydration. Revitalize the natural glow and smoothness of your skin by pampering it with a moisturizer!
