The Best Moisturizer for Your Skin Type
How to find a suitable moisturizer according to your skin type.
Starting from sleeping masks, serums to cleansers, you must be aware that many skin care products have moisturizing elements. But today, we're going to separate the categories of moisturizers, which is the last step you apply at night and the last one before applying SPF in the morning. Maybe - the category of moisturizer - is the most frightening conversation and for some it is not so important because there are so many choices and properties that are only moisturizing but read until the end, beauticen. Moisturizers come in a variety of basic types — from gels, emulsions to heavy creams — and aim to tighten, refresh, and seriously hydrate the skin.
To help you narrow down your choices and find the best moisturizer, we've broken down our ingredient and product recommendations by skin type.
Oily skin
There is a persistent myth that people with oily skin don't need a moisturizer. Because of this misconception, people with oily skin usually become oilier when they skip using moisturizer. When skin lacks hydration – it can actually produce more oil to compensate for the loss.
Bottom line: Even if your skin is too oily, it still needs to be replenished with hydration.
By applying moisturizer regularly, you can actually make your skin supple, reduce fine lines, and ultimately help regulate oil production to reduce the nature of those excess oil products. This also applies to acne-prone skin.
Oily and acne-prone skin should use non-commodogenic humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera, as well as cold-pressed vegetable oils such as rosehip, camellia, and squalene. On the other hand, this skin type should avoid very heavy ingredients that can clog pores, such as olive oil, coconut oil, petroleum-based products, lanolin, and dimethicone.
We recommend the Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream , formulated with 63.7% Jeju green tea water that effectively soothes skin quickly, while antioxidants help fight free radical damage, to help keep skin supple and youthful. The complementary formulation is amino acids and panthenol (vitamin B5) to keep skin smooth and super hydrated for a soft and supple look.
Even oily skin types will love this light gel cream, which absorbs quickly and easily into the skin, thanks to its unique "hydra emulsification system" that mimics the skin's structure to help deliver deeper hydration to the skin than traditional moisturizers.
Dry skin
As stated, and I am happy to repeat the point: As the skin matures, oil production slows down and the skin becomes very thirsty. So, while moisturizer is a must for all skin types, it is an integral part of dry, mature skin if you want hydrated, glowing, plump skin. If you live in a dry climate, or spend a lot of time in hot or air-conditioned rooms, you may also experience excessive dryness, which, like aging, can cause fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and loss of elasticity to increase.
Unlike other skin types, dry and mature skin can handle/accept heavy oils and formulations, and so should look for products that actually increase moisture. You can also try products that moisturize as well as brighten, tighten, and increase elasticity.
One of our favorites for dry skin is SKIN&LAB Barrierderm Intensive Cream . A cream containing Fila-seed, ceramide and Hyaluronic acid moisturizes the skin from inside and outside, and pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate makes your skin look nice and smooth.
Sensitive skin
Those of you with sensitive skin should look for two key qualities in a moisturizer: the calming ability and a product with a pure ingredient list. Look for soothing natural ingredients like chamomile, calendula, oatmeal, green and white tea, honey, and fruit and nut extracts. Meanwhile, you should avoid products with potential irritants such as dyes, fragrances, excessive alcohol, and sulfates. Lastly, everyone should experiment with new products, and this point is especially important for those of you who have sensitive and reactive skin types.
Our top choice of moisturizer for sensitive skin is ElishaCoy Tetraforce Cream , with Centella asiatica extract, tea tree extract, greentea extract, and fish mint extract to soothe and relieve skin problems of irritation, redness, excess oil and heal skin wounds. Contains seven types of hyaluronic acid from the lowest, medium and high molecules, which are also NMF*(Natural Moisturizing Factors) to keep skin hydrated and prevent excess sebum production.
Combination Skin
Combination skin is unique in that we fight both dry and oily skin. It can also fluctuate from very oily skin one day to very dry skin the next. Since the main problem is to go back and forth between oily and dry, you should look for products that balance your skin. Green tea, vitamin E and antioxidants are the best ingredients.
To soothe and balance your combination skin, we recommend SKIN&LAB Medicica Calming Cream . The gentle formulation consists of the Green Cica complex which relieves irritation of acne-affected skin and acts as a powerful antioxidant, panthenol and Vitamin E controls excess sebum production and reduces internal dryness by balancing the skin's moisture level, providing deep, long-lasting moisture while maintaining a feeling of well-being. light and non-sticky. All ingredients are rated safe by EWG
Normal Skin
For normal skin owners, you have more freedom in choosing the right moisturizer, but it's still important to choose a formula that will keep your skin balanced and hydrated, even during changing seasons and harsh environmental conditions.
If your skin is either dry or oily or even in the middle, we recommend ElishaCoy Moist Up Super Hyalurone Cream . This lightweight moisturizer nourishes, soothes and keeps skin hydrated by using our favorite ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Trehalose, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Hydrolyzed Collagen & Honey to moisturize and hydrate skin. Ceramide helps improve the protective function of the skin to keep it protected and healthy, and Centella Asiatica Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract to soothe the skin.
