Moisturizers for different skin types

8:55 AM

Okay this isn't a product review but I thought how much this post can guide and help people to buy the right moisturizer for them.
Always make sure that you have at least spf15 in your moisturizer and that it's paraben free.

Sensitive skin
For people with sensitive skin I definetly suggest that you buy all your products from the pharmacy or make sure that your products are 100% natural and definetly alcohol free. Skin Food, LUSH and The Body Shop are great places for people with sensitive skin if you do not like the products available at your local pharmacy. I find that gels don't work well with sensitive skin gel-creams and lotions are the best in my opinion because sometimes when using creams our skin tends to look oily.


Combination skin
It mostly depends on what combination you have but you can never go wrong when using gel-cream on combination skin, it moisturizes but also mattifies the skin. Make sure all products are oil-free and paraben free, if you have something/sensitive skin type then DO NOT BUY PRODUCTS WITH ALCOHOL!!! I can't  stress this enough, many young people nowadays ruin their skin by using moisturizers with alcohol.




Oily skin
People who have oily skin should only use gels, only use creams when it's winter otherwise you will shine like a disco ball. Many people who have oily skin actually think that they don't need a moisturizer, they believe that it will only make their face shinier but they are so wrong, their skin tries to balance the oil levels by producing excess sebum and that often leads to pimples and acne. So make sure you apply moisturizer every morning and night. And if your skin is too oily use oil absobing sheets to get rid of the extra shine.




Dry skin
If you have dry skin you should avoid using gels because they will dry you out even more, go with creams and lotions that go deeper into the skin and help moisturize it from within. Try to use products that are
oil-free because if you use moisturizers with oil it might cause piimples or acne. If your skin starts to flake then try something from the pharmacy like Vichy or Eucerin 




Normal skin
Well lucky you, you can use whatever moisturizer you prefer, just make sure it has spf 15 and is paraben and oil free.
