3 Tips To Find Best Moisturizers For Dry Skin

How to find best moisturizers for dry skin? – A million dollar question. Indeed it is because skin care being a billion dollar market everybody wants a share of it; and with so many products to choose from it becomes next to impossible for people like us to make the right choice.

Let's first understand what causes dry skin especially in winters.
Our skin contains a substance called lipids. These lipids are responsible for maintaining the oily layer on the outer surface of our skin. In cold weather; low temperature and harsh winds deplete the lipid layer and our skin looses natural oil. Also in winters we increase the temperature inside our house to counter cold weather. This temperature reduces overall moisture and hence our skin becomes even drier. To top it all we take bath in hot shower for a long time -- hot water washes away the natural oil from our skin.

In this article, I will share with you few tips that would help you in finding the best moisturizers for dry skin and face moisturizers in a matter of few minutes.

Tip 1 - The basic quality of any moisturizer is that it should not irritate your skin or it should not feel like a layer of oil painted on your skin. Such moisturizers block away the oxygen required by your skin cells. When skin cells do not get the required oxygen they start depleting even quickly.

Tip 2 – An effective moisturizer will not have any fragrances in it. Hear me on this because fragrances are made up of artificial substances and alcohols. Remember perfumes and deodorant they are oil eating substances. If you use fragrant products they will make your skin even drier. So, stay away from any products that contain fragrances.

These 2 tips will help you filter away almost 90% of bad and worthless products. Don't go by false claims; use your knowledge. Take a look at ingredient label; if you find anything spurious then dump the product right there.

The following third and last tip will help you in selecting the effective and best moisturizers for dry skin.

Tip 3 – Keep in mind that effective face moisturizers consist of natural ingredients. There is no trace of any artificial or synthetic ingredients. Here is a short list of cutting edge ingredients.
  • Cynergy TK
  • Wakame
  • Babassu Wax
  • Grapeseed Oil
  • Avocado Oil
  • Coezyme Q10
All these natural ingredients are tested extensively in laboratory and proven for high quality skin care. So, next time you buy skin care product keep these ingredients in mind.
