Moisturizing your skin is a critical step in skincare. Moisturizers hydrate the surface of the skin to prevent it from drying out. They lock in moisture and nutrients, and protect the skin barrier from environmental aggressors.
For optimal results, you should moisturize your skin twice a day to keep your skin young looking and beautiful. Preferably in the morning when you wake up and at night before you retire.
The eternal Joan Collins applied moisturizer constantly. She keeps a jar beside each basin to apply as much as possible when she's at home. Her skin is truly fantastic.
This blog will help you unlock the skin of your dreams and explain the significance of moisturizing your face daily.
The Bodies Largest Organ
You've probably heard this before, skin is the body’s largest organ. Every cell, organ, and tissue in your body needs water to stay healthy and survive. Your skin needs it also, and by moisturizing, your skin absorbs water and stays hydrated.
Moisture Retention Decreases With Age
Unfortunately, as we age, our skin loses the ability to preserve moisture, resulting in loss of firmness, pliability, and plumpness. The sebaceous glands (an oily substance that lubricates the skin) produce less oil and hyaluronic acid naturally declines causing dry, flaky, and itchy skin.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a humectant that absorbs and holds moisture in the skin.
It has an exceptional ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, so it keeps moisture on lock-down, quenching dry and parched patches instantly and cumulatively throughout the day.
HA moisturizes skin and smoothes out wrinkles in the process, and keeps skin plump, elastic, firm, and hydrated. That's why so many cosmetics contain HA.This is one ingenious ingredient.
External Stressors And Skin Damage
As you go about your day, environmental stressors such as air pollution, UV exposure, dirt, and environmental irritants can damage your skin’s natural protective barrier.
Water and hydration are critical to cellular health, therefore moisturizing is essential to strengthen your skin cells.
Drinking more water also helps with hydration.The more water you have in your body, the easier it is for humectants, like hyaluronic acid, to draw up more water to your skin.
In addition, humidifiers add moisture to the air providing skin with the moisture it needs and to improve overall skin health.
Exfoliation - A Critical Step In Skin Care
Exfoliation has three benefits:
Exfoliation removes layers of dead skin cell which provides a way for creams and serum to absorb deep within. This process improves skin tone and texture, unclog pores, and enhance the effectiveness of other skincare products.
Exfoliation stimulates cell regeneration, encouraging your skin to increase the speed of development of 'new fresh and shiny' skin cells - which means - your skin looks even smoother, brighter, and glowing.
Exfoliation detoxifies while gently sloughing off accumulated wasted skin that can harbor or promote bacteria, inflammation, redness or blemishes.
Exfolating your face should be done once or twice a week.
I suggest using these creams and serums for peak performance:
Pearl Powder both moisturizes and exfoliates the skin by increasing its moisture levels, strengthening its natural barrier, and aiding in cell regeneration.
Empress Of Pearls Powder contains high levels of calcium, which helps regulate sebum and cell turnover which promotes healthier, more hydrated skin.
The conchiolin protein and skin-loving amino acids in pearl powder also help the skin retain moisture. It's a win win.
Conclusion:
Moisturizing your face daily results in healthier, happier skin. By staying hydrated, your skin creates a smooth surface that reflects light and leaves your skin with a heavenly glow.
