Why Moisturizers Are Great For Slowing Down Skin Ageing

Moisturizers have a long history. From ancient times, the Egyptians and Persians have been known to apply a number of various types of oils and aloes to their skin in order to preserve its youthfulness.

Given that the skin is the largest organ of the body and the most visible, it is of paramount importance that proper attention is given to it. This is because a large portion of the skin is exposed most of the time and is subject to dehydration. This, in turn, could lead to the weakening of the skin tissues, hastening up the aging process.

So what can you do to maintain that youthful look that you so much cherish? Healthy nutrition is a must. Next to that, is proper skincare. This entails applying the right kind of moisturizer that helps keep your skin nourished, supple and radiant.

Good quality moisturizers have been known to benefit the skin in a number of ways. For example, they help to create a protective layer over the skin, protecting it from harmful Ultraviolet radiations and dust. Also, moisturizers help to reduce the rate of evaporation of moisture from the skin in addition to replacing some of the lost oils produced by the skin naturally.

To be truly effective in maintaining a healthy skin, the best moisturizer products must contain certain essential ingredients. The recommendations by experts are endless. However some of the basic ingredients a good moisturizer must contain are:

Sunscreens

This is important to protect your skin from harmful radiations which weakens your skin’s ability to retain moisture and replenish essential substances lost through evaporation. Ideally, you should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30+.

Antioxidants

Excessive exposure to the sun’s rays could lead to dry skin. This weakens the skin’s ability to hold moisture and hastens skin wrinkling. For best results, it is recommended you apply a generous amount of moisturizers formulated with multiple antioxidants. Some substances known for their excellent antioxidant properties include licorice extract, grape extract, vitamin E and vitamin C.

Emollients

Helps lubricate the skin, keeping it smooth and beautifully soft.

Skin-replenishing agents

These are ingredients that revitalize the skin, maintaining its radiance. Common skin-replenishing ingredients include glycerol, silicones and salicylic acid.

Using the right kind of moisturizer for your skin could potentially reverse skin dryness and give you that brilliance that makes you stand out.
