Face Moisturizer Need-To-Knows
Posted on 02 October 2011
It can be tough trying to find a face moisturizer that will work for you and even harder to find one that is trustworthy. Some cosmetic companies do very little testing with regard to how safe their cosmetics products are before selling them to the general public. This article gives you the information you need when you are looking for an effective facial moisturizer
A high-quality face moisturizer should keep your face moisturized and nourished. A facial moisturizer is not meant to be the only sun protection to keep you from getting burned. Numerous moisturizers only have an SPF rating of 15 and that is really not a lot of protection. The minimum you need is SPF 20 to get the best sun protection. The best sunscreens will have zinc oxide, which is not used in moisturizers.
Surprisingly, many so called moisturizing products don’t even have any moisturizing ingredients in them. Ingredients like mineral oil and other petroleum based ingredients have been utilized for many years but do not actually add to the moisture levels of your skin. Instead they leave your skin feeling like it has a greasy layer on it and your pores can become clogged. These ingredients can prevent your skin from getting the moisture it needs but they are still suggested by some doctors.
Grape seed oil is one ingredient you should seek in a facial moisturizer; it contains antioxidants that decelerate aging and help you stay young looking. Another good ingredient is shea butter, which is very efficient when used before bed. The better face moisturizer products will make your wrinkles less noticeable, enhance the texture of your skin and have you looking better in a matter of weeks. The more high-priced products have better ingredients if you have the money to spend on them.
It is important to use a face moisturizer with no artificial preservatives or fragrances. Many natural products have Vitamin E, which acts as a preservative and also helps protect your skin from damage by free radicals. The two troubles that people have when exposed to a lot of sun is excessively dry skin and excess free radical production.
