How To Choose The Ideal Moisturizer For Each Skin Type

Each skin type has a specific need and it is important to take this into account when choosing the body moisturizer. It is not enough to choose the product just by fragrance or packaging. Knowing if the texture will bring the expected benefit, according to the skin type, is essential. In winter, for example, even those with normal skin need an extra dose of hydration to keep it nourished, silky and soft. On the other hand, those who have a dry or extra-dry complexion may feel their skin tighter and lighter. In these cases, ultra-moisturizing products can restore the necessary nutrition.

To choose the ideal type of moisturizer, it is important to pay attention to the needs of the skin. Elisangela de Souza, Natura's formula manager, explains: “Our skin, depending on the time of year, habits and attitudes, can have specific characteristics, and for each skin condition there is a need for a type of product”, she says.. “In winter, for example, due to the hot baths, which remove even more natural protection, as well as the cold climate and the excess of clothes, the skin tends to become more dry, even whitish, requiring the use of products with greater hydration and nutrition power ”, he says.

Normal skin: more fluid and immediate absorption products

On colder days, even those whose skin is considered normal, should use the moisturizer daily. “Normal skin also needs hydration to maintain its natural radiance and shine. In this case, products that are more fluid, lighter and that are easily absorbed can be used ”, says Elisangela. "These cosmetics will offer practicality and quick drying, without leaving the skin oily and always keeping it hydrated and nourished", he evaluates.

Suitable for all skin kinds, rinsed oils can be a really good alternative for those seeking practicality without leaving behind hydration apart. They deliver moisture through occlusion, that is actually, they develop a protective obstacle externally of the skin.

The drier the skin, the greater the need for hydration

Dry skin, in turn, needs cosmetics with textures that can vary from light to creamy, but with the ability to nourish and reduce the whitish appearance of the skin care. Elisangela suggests that the option is for products with creamy and ultra-creamy textures. "These cosmetics are enriched with nutritious oils and butters, which in addition to moisturizing nourish the skin", he guides.

Although owners of normal skin have a balanced production of natural oils, care must be taken when choosing the cosmetics used to clean the face. Otherwise, the risk of some discomfort such as oiliness and dryness may be higher. Therefore, the ideal is to opt for facial soaps with vegetable oils and vitamin C in their composition.
