Need The Best Facial Moisturizer? Would You Believe It Isn't Actually A Moisturizer?

Would it surprise you to know that the best facial moisturizer is not actually a moisturizer at all?

But first lets look at what a good moisturizer should do for your skin.

A moisturizer is designed to improve the hydration in your skin. Or in other words it helps the skin keep moisture in the skin cells. And if the skin dries out it becomes less supple, it looks and feels drier. And it can be more prone to skin damage.

Skin that is well moisturized is more healthy than skin that is not well moisturized, and it will also protect itself better

And different moisturizers work differently too. For example many moisturizers work by, amongst other things, protecting the skin from sunburn by way of an added sunscreen.

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

I believe that you should avoid using moisturizers which include mineral oil. Why? Because it isn't good for your skin, and as it coats the skin with oil to prevent moisture loss it can cause skin problems, like acne flareups.

But although it may sound like a contradiction I believe that you shouldn't be using a moisturizer with sunscreen. If it's so important to avoid sunburn surely a moisturizer with sunscreen is a great idea? No. Because you should be using your moisturizer 365 days a year. And many believe that sunscreens can cause cancer, so you don't want to be putting a sunscreen on 365 days a year when it may be suspect and you don't need it.

So the ingredients in any moisturizer are one of the most important things you need to consider. For example there are some moisturizers that contain other ingredients that are considered to be dangerous, believe it or not. And there are some moisturizers that can also cause skin reactions and allergies because of the ingredients that they use.

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

So lets answer the question about which is 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 makes a range of skin care and anti aging products that are designed to promote overall skin health, rather than just moisturizing, because moisturizing is only a small part of skin care and skin health. But they don't actually make a moisturizer, what they do is add ingredients to their products that mean that their products in general moisturize better than any others.

They don't use mineral oil or a sunscreen for the reasons I've already talked about and they add ingredients to their skin care products that moisturize extremely well.

For example they add Jojoba Oil to their products. It's a totally safe natural oil that works very well preventing moisture loss. It is absorbed into the skin cells and also leaves a thin film on the surface, resulting in better moisture retention and better skin suppleness. It is totally non allergenic and is good for all types of skin.

And ingredients like this are healthy for all skin types so this small company doesn't make products that differentiate between skin type, they don't need to.

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

Or sorbitol, which can be found in grapes and berries and seaweeds and others, and helps the skin retain it's moisture as well. And Capuacu oil from the seeds of the Capuacu tree which helps the skin retain moisture and smooths the skin.

There's more, but I hope you get the idea. There are natural skin care products that work extremely well for overall skin health, but which also contain ingredients that moisturize extremely successfully as a part of a complete skin health routine.

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.
