Tips To Moisturize Skin According To Skin Type

One of the biggest beauty promises you could make next year is to keep your skin hydrated and moisturised and ofcourse, drinking plenty of water. To keep your skin moisturised and hydrated all you need is use the prefect moisturiser for your skin. You may be fascinated by the number of creams and moisturisers available in the market, but don’t be so tempted to buy them all. You’ll just end up wasting your money!

To choose the perfect moisturiser or lotion, first you need to understand your skin type and then select the product depending on your skin type. Here we have listed down how to select your moisturiser or lotion according to different skin types.

* For Dry Skin

Dry skin can be characterised by itchy, red and flaky skin that feels parched and irritable almost all the time. For this type of skin you need a moisturiser or body lotion that goes three layers deep and instantly hydrates your skin. Choose a cream that’ll provide optimum hydration so that your skin feels protected as well as hydrated. Apply it all over your body especially in areas like elbows, knees, hands and feet.

* For Oily Skin

If you feel oily skin doesn’t require hydration, then you are probably wrong. Oily skin tends to shine unusually due to the excess sebum secreted on the surface of your skin. This is the reason why you’ll find your pores clogged with oil and grime that make take form of blackheads or acne. So if you deny your skin moisturiser, it’ll overcompensate by increasing the amount of oil being released through your sebaceous glands. So choose a moisturiser that’s non-greasy so that it lends your skin the right hydrating ingredients. Select a product that has non-sticky formula and will moisturise your skin deeply without making it feel oily.

* For Combination Skin

Combination skin is slightly difficult and time-consuming to tackle. This type of skin has some part, especially T-zone, oily and the rest of the part dry. For this type of skin, you need to rely on a gel based moisturiser that has high water content and yet won’t feel greasy on your T-zone. For the rest of your face invent in a nourishing cream.
