Homemade Moisturizer
Moisturizers provide moisture to the skin. Lanolin, avocado oil, vitamin E oil, jojoba oil are the natural ingredients of it. Approximately 30% of the water in your outer layer of skin will be effected by these conditions. The other two thirds are effected by hormonal levels, toxins and disease (such as hyperkeratosis) etc.
Since moisturizes are among the most used and prescribed products for the skin, unfortunately, the cosmetics industry many times advertise loudly for unsubstantiated effects. Lanolin has good water absorbing properties. Avocado oil has skin penetration properties and is rich in vitamin A and B. Milk protein helps to soften dry and wrinkled skin.
Honey is a good natural moisturizer. Physicians,cosmeticians, and consumers alike should be aware of the real science behind skin moisturization,and know what is possible to achieve and what is not. For example, the addition of vitamins (A,B,C,D and E), nutritive agents and protein agents has been common in the industry, supposedly in order to add to the moisturizer the capability to treat several skin conditions such ascellulitis, age and photo damage, loss of collagen, wrinkles, etc., with little or no scientific evidence for such. Of course, this has the effect of increasing the price tag of the product, although the basic and real effective components are very inexpensive.
