3 Reasons You Need To Moisturize The Skin

A good skin care routine should be done twice a day. You need to cleanse and moisturize twice a day. And it does not matter what age you are you need to do this routine twice a day. When the skin is young and oil prone your cleanser and moisturizer would be light and for those who are past 35 years old the skin care products should increase in the amount of active ingredients geared towards anti aging. 

For most of us that may sound like a chore to keep us with the right skin care routine. But as it turns out, moisturizing doesn’t just feel great, it can help keep your skin clear, smooth, and wrinkle-free in the future. 

Need more convincing? Here are top 3 reasons you MUST moisturize your skin.

Moisturizing prevents large pores. Applying the right kind of moisturizer for your skin can help maintain its balance. When skin is too dry or too oily, the skin will show you that it's 'unhappy' by showing of large pores.  According to dermatologist Dr. Ted Lain, if you have a young skin you should stick to AHA containing products as they assist in exfoliation, and for those with more mature skin Vit C cleansers or Oxygen Cleansers are best because of the more creamy consistency of those products. 

Moisturizing can prevent blemishes. Think of a moisturizer as an invisible glove for your skin. Not only it prevents you for oiling up but it protects the skin from environmental or direct contact with germs. And that can happen via occasional touching of the face with the hands or even your phone. The unprotected skin will allow the bacteria to harbor; however the right moisturizer will create a delay reaction and when the skin is washed thoroughly at night it may prevent the breakouts from forming.

Moisturizing helps your skin stay fresh and glowing. Human skin is an amazingly useful organ, it protects us at all times and it is also waterproof. It's also constantly changing and regenerating itself. That said, what happens to dead skin cells? You might be a little surprised to find out that your blackheads and wrinkles alike may be just a dead skin buildup preventing your from looking fresh and glowing. The solution is exfoliation, gentle exfoliants such as AHA's are safe to be used daily. However, the sandy or gritty exfoliants can only be used once a week on normal skin and never on sensitive skin. The same rule applies to the rotating brushes such as Clarisonic Rotating Brush. Moisturizing can help give your sensitive skin the boost by strengthening it.
