Moisturizing is Your Skin Insurance Against Aging
“Proper moisturizing is job number one”, says Johns Hopkins Dermatologist, Dr. Rebecca Kazin.
Following any one of these moisturizing tips is the first step towards younger, more vibrant looking skin! Let’s get started!
A daily dose of natural fatty acid oils on skin is like a vaccination for anti-aging. Oils such as grapeseed, borage, jojoba, sunflower and almond work as powerful emollients to soften skin.
All skin types need moisturizing to avoid the daily assault of dehydration from daily life.
Aging skin needs even more hydration, more nutrients, more care. It naturally gets drier (especially in cheek areas), more wrinkled and thinner, from changes in skin oil production, hormone imbalances and thinning of epidermis (outer skin layer).
All moisturizers are not created equal. Most moisturizers, even medical brands, have chemicals and alcohols that strip the skin’s natural moisture barrier, causing more dehydration, irritation and skin imbalances.
Natural fatty acid oils quickly soften, smooth, brighten, plump and rebalance skin.
