Finding The Best Facial Moisturizer Isn’t About Finding A Moisturizer

Yes that’s right the best facial moisturizer isn’t actually a moisturizer.

But first what is a moisturizer and what should it be doing for your skin?

If you use a moisturizer it should help your skin retain it’s hydration. Moisture, not oil. And if your skin retains it’s moisture it is healthier, less prone to skin damage, more supple and looks and feels better.

As well as protecting itself better skin that is better moisturized just looks and feels good.

And many different moisturizers help protect the skin in different ways, for example by including a sunscreen.

But unfortunately there are moisturizers on the market that contain ingredients that can be suspect to your health and even dangerous.

And there are some moisturizers that you ought to avoid, like moisturizers with mineral oil. Mineral oil is supposed to moisturize by covering the skin in a layer of oil, thereby trapping the moisture. But mineral oil can cause it’s own skin problems, and should be avoided.

And I also believe that you shouldn’t use a moisturizer with a sunscreen in it either. Yes it is vital to protect your skin from the effects of sunburn, but there are some ingredients in sunscreens that some believe can cause cancer. Now if you use your moisturizer every single day as you should you are putting on a suspect sunscreen every day when it’s unlikely that you could possibly need a sunscreen every day.

So one of the most important things that you can do when looking to find the best facial moisturizer is to look at the ingredients. There are many skin care products that can contain some extremely nasty ingredients that can actually cause skin reactions and allergies.

So if you choose the wrong facial moisturizer you can in fact do more damage than good to your skin.

So, I’ve talked a little about facial moisturizers in general, lets look to see what’s the best facial moisturizer.

Personally I believe that the best facial moisturizer is in fact a range of natural anti aging skin care products from a small niche skin care products company that, chances are, you’ve never heard of.

This small company a range of natural skin care products that are targeted to overall skin health rather than just moisturizing the skin. So if you visit their website you won’t actually find a moisturizer there at all. However if you use the products you’ll find that they moisturize better than any other product on the market. And that is intentional.

They add ingredients to their products for the moisturizing properties of the ingredients. They don’t add a sunscreen for reasons I’ve already mentioned, and they don’t use mineral oil in any of their products.

Ingredients such as Jojoba Oil. Jojoba Oil is an excellent natural oil and helps protect the skin from moisture loss by forming a layer on the skin to do so, and it is also absorbed into the skin cells thereby softening the skin. It is entirely non allergenic, (as are all the ingredients they use) and it is good for all skin types.

These types of natural skin care ingredients are beneficial for every skin type, so there are no products for different skin types.

And vitamin B5. This also has moisturizing properties but it also helps repair skin damage and adds some natural sun protection.

Sorbitol is a humectant that can be found in grapes and berries, seaweed and algea and others which also helps the skin retain moisture. And oil from the seeds of the Capuacu tree are also used for their ability to smooth the skin and help retain skin moisture.

And more, but you get the idea. These skin care products are designed to moisturize as a part of a complete skin care routine. The moisturizing effects of the products is unsurpassed, but they do not actually make a moisturizer. Rather they make a complete skin care routine that moisturizes as well as much much more.

And surprisingly at a more reasonable price than some. So even though it may come as a surprise the best facial moisturizer isn’t a moisturizer, it is in fact natural skin care products that work very well as a moisturizer, but do way more than moisturize. For all skin types.
