Moisturizing The Skin


The main disadvantage of cleansing your skin is the removal of beneficial oils on your skin. These oils help you skin retain precious moisture and form a barrier between the polluted environment and yourself. The oils also keep the skin soft and younger looking. You can easily ease this problem by using a good moisturizer.

There are 2 types of moisturizers that can be used: A lightweight thin moisturizer for use during the day and underneath makeup, and a heavier more nutritious cream for night-time care.

I have know many people with acne problems who are afraid to use any moisturizing solution on their skin. Consequently the skin on their face, and other parts of their body becomes very tight, and the skin is very flaky which makes them look older. This dry skin also causes them to itch, then they are scratching all the time, which continues to make the skin more sensitive and slows down the healing process.

If you are bothered by acne, you need to make sure that your skin stays clean and use a very lightweight moisturizer to keep from clogging up the pores that keep erupting.

In the book "Acne Free in 3 Days", Chris Gibson talks about all the terrible side effects, including the extreme dry skin, that occurs when trying to get rid of acne with medications such as Accutane and antibiotics. His recipe for getting rid of acne is Healthy and nutritious. Yes, it does take some work and self control, but in the end, the finished product is so much better.
