How to Find the Perfect Moisturiser
Believe it or not, there is no one size fits all approach to moisturiser – be it an organic skin care product or human-made. What works for someone else may not work for you and vice versa. With such variations in products and skin types, it can seem almost impossible to find the best moisturiser for your skin. However, if you think about the following points, you can narrow down the options for the best chance of success.
Lotion, Ointment, or Cream?
Manufacturers aren’t just choosing either lotion, ointment, or cream as the name as their product, depending on what they like. All of these options differ – they are not the same product. Therefore, you must match one of the three to your skin type.
If your skin is dry, itchy, or irritable, then a thicker ointment is potentially the best option. You can opt for a synthetic option which may irritate sensitive skin, or select an organic skin care product instead. If you have normal skin, a regular cream is usually a good choice. It can help with hydration and tends to be thinner than ointment.
If you have oily skin, on the other hand, lotion could be the best option for you. It features water as its main ingredient and tends to be far lighter than both cream and ointment.
Dry, Sensitive, or Itchy Skin?
If you have dry, sensitive, or itchy skin, then you may find organic skin care products can help take care of a range of problems. However, once again, the options available differ depending on the issue. For dry skin, an organic skin care product featuring lanolin or mineral oil can help to keep your skin hydrated for longer.
