Moisturizing day cream
Every day we are bombarded by advertising advertising all kinds of creams, on television, magazines, radio, etc. However, it does not matter if you select a moisturizer in the form of a cream, gel, serum or spray, what is more important is knowing how to choose one that adapts to the moisture needs of your skin, that is not too greasy and that contains the PH level indicated and suitable for your skin type.
You have to bear in mind that the most expensive is not always the best. There are second brands and natural products on the market, which can be perfectly adapted to the needs of your skin.
Before choosing, you have to determine what your skin type is, dry, sensitive, oily, combination or normal.
- The dry one has closed pores and a matte appearance.
- Sensitive skin is delicate, slightly dry, easily irritated and prone to allergic reactions.
- Oily skin, on the other hand, has a shiny appearance and has open pores.
- Combination skin has oily areas like the nose and chin and drier areas.
- Normal skin is smooth in texture, has no blackheads or open pores.
It is not advisable to apply a cream rich in fat to oily skin, since it would only cause more sebum secretion by not letting the skin perspire. On the contrary, dry skin is favored by oily creams because they form a film on the skin that prevents moisture from evaporating.
Creams that contain high water content tend to spread very well over the skin but do not sufficiently protect dry skin, they are only recommended for oily and combination skin, since they have a sufficient layer of fat to prevent the skin from escaping. water through your pores.
