Makeup Articles - How to choose your moisturiser
Choosing the moisturiser to suit your skin type is very very important. The proportion of oil varies according to the type of skin for which the product is formulated. The label on the product generally states this so do read the instructions carefully! Generally speaking, products meant for well balanced normal skins are water-based, containing a little oil. Those designed for dry skins make up for the lack of oil on the skin, by adding oil to the skin. Humectants like glycerine and lactic acid, are also added to retain moisture. ‘Sensitive’ skins also need moisturisers having a high oil content.
Moisturisers are, generally, not to be used on oily skins, because they can cause spots. But today safe synthetic chemicals are available - these oil-free moisturisers do not contain any mineral oils, vegetable oils or animal fat, but contain either modified oils or other synthetic ingredients. Sonow you can enjoy the luxury of using such products, even if you have an oily skin. Use them on patches of dryness caused by excessiveuse of anti-pimple remedies, yet don’t use them too often or too liberally.
