Moisturizers!
Huge amount of moisturizing products are available in the market, and the question is what should I select? What is the better moisturizer for me! What we have to know basically about the moisturizer is what type of skin I do have and what moisturizer should I use.
There are basically two types of Moisturizers, The Occlusive ones and the Humectants.
Occlusive moisturizers prevent water from leaving the stratum corneum by acting as a waterproof film that covers your skin. Because they're typically made up of oil-rich ingredients, such as petroleum, various mineral oils or silicone.
I always feel that these kind of moisturizers made of the petroleum products are cheaper and they are widely used for the faster action generated, but these moisturizers are many a times harmful to the skin. The petroleum products are not absorbed in the skin, and as a result, they form a impermeable film on the skin which may leads to clogging of pores, irritate the skin and cause breakouts of acne and pimples.
This type of moisturizers are the major culprits for the formation of acne and pimples and must be avoided in the young age always. Occlusive moisturizers don't work very well for people with sensitive or oily skin. It is a cheaper way of moisturizing the skin but I personally do not believe in petroleum products as they may damage the skin in several ways.
One of the prominent damage caused by the moisturizers which contain petroleum products, basically petroleum jelly, Petroleum wax of light liquid paraffin, always form an oily coat on the skin and make the skin more susceptible to photo damage, tan and mainly sun burns.
Such type of occlusive moisturizers must be avoided in the Indian climate as they can provide less of benefit and more of damage t the skin.
Those who want to work out with better quality moisturizers for better skin benefit and less of damage should select the Humectant moisturizers. Humectant moisturizers are great for those people with habitually dry skin or for people whose skin is oily, as humectants moisturizers are water-based and contain very few oils.
Humectants work by absorbing and retaining water from the air and lower layers of your epidermis. Because they add moisture instead of just trapping the water that's already there, humectant moisturizers help prevent dry skin from cracking by increasing its natural pliability and flexibility. If you're looking for a humectant moisturizer, check for ingredients such as glycerin, lactic acid, propylene glycol, etc are the great humectant substances for ultimate moisturizing
Let us talk of the concept of Liposoft and what else we can use in the process of moisturizing in the next issue!
