”Moisturizers or emollients are complex mixtures of chemical agents specially designed to make the external layers of the skin (epidermis) softer and more pliable. They increase the skin’s hydration (water content) by reducing evaporation.” – Wikipedia. In layman’s words, face moisturizers help to keep the skin hydrated and protected in cold or drying environments.
Moisturizing is an important step of taking care of the skin but many times, I get tempted to skip it because of my oily face. My face may get dry and dull if there’s not enough moisture going into it after cleansing and toning. So, you guessed right, I end up using a moisturizer anyway. No room for dullness, guys!!
How To Apply :
Smooth gently into your face and neck using upward and outward movements.
Alright ladies and gents, let’s find out my top 5 face moisturizers, shall we?
