Oil VS Water Moisturizer
Moisturizers and how to choose the best one for your skin - Oil VS water moisturizer? Over the last couple of years there have been countless baseless claims about moisturizers, if you are as confused, or just want to learn more, we are here to help you understand your skin and how moisturizers can help you! In today’s edition, we will address oil VS water moisturizer.
What is a Moisturizer?
Moisturizer at its core should keep your face hydrated for an extended amount of time. In general, water is great for keeping our bodies working and hydrated. However, when it comes to our exterior skin water evaporates within no time at all. To extend the hydration for your skin the best thing to do is drink water, and after washing your face in the AM and PM lock in the water with an oil-based moisturizer, visit here for a detailed explanation on the best skincare routine!
Is water a good moisturizer?
Is water a good moisturizer? Water is not a good moisturizer, while keeping your body hydrated is important, and locking water into your skin helps; water alone is not a sufficient moisturizer.
Many products claim to be a “moisturizer” but if water is in the first 3 ingredients it isn’t doing what it claims. Instead, they are watering down the ingredients that are supposed to be helping your skin and leaving you with a large bill and an unmoisturized face.
What is an Oil Based Moisturizer?
An oil moisturizer does not have water in the first three ingredients, it is a way to lock water into the skin and keep dirt out! Oil based moisturizers such as our mango butter, lock in moisture for hours as it creates a thin skin that mimics your own! If you want a lighter hydrater, or to add an extra layer of brightness and hydration you can also try our serum. To learn more about why this happens see our other blog post about mango butter here.
Price VS Quality?
Are you looking for the best deal while also benefiting your face? Here is what to look for when shopping for a high quality moisturizer that won’t break the bank or your face.
Does it have water in the first 3 ingredients? If yes, DON’T BUY!
Is there synthetic fragrance in the ingredients list? If yes, DON’T BUY!
Does it have artificial dyes? If yes, DON’T BUY!
Petrochemicals? If yes, DON’T BUY!
Part of taking care of your skin is making sure that what you put on it is healthy and natural. Taking that extra step to keep your skin safe is important for long term health and wellbeing.
