Moisturizer: The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth

Moisturizer: The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth

I want you to forget everything you've been taught about moisturizing your skin. From the lady behind the cosmetic counter to the dermatologist on your TV forget what you've been told. It's high time you know the truth about hydrating your skin and I'm going to give it to you.

First, you need to consider where your information has come from. Think about your skincare sources and the key piece of advice they've drilled into your head: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. How many of these people were trying to sell you moisturizer?

It's not rocket science, friends. They tell you what they have to in order to get the sell. And, you like what you hear that your skin will look younger so you oblige.

I'm not trying to sell you anything. I have a bevy of skincare products, yes, but I won't mention one of them in this writing. I just want you to know the truth. Even if it means purchasing less moisturizer. And, that's what it will mean because your skin doesn't need it. That's right, your skin get this hydrates itself.

When the skin cells are strong and healthy, a natural delivery system of hydration takes place. But when the cells recognize an outside source has already hydrated the skin, there's no need for the natural hydration to take place. They consequently become inactive and stop the moisture production process. That leads to dry, dull, aging skin.

Ever noticed the more moisturizer you apply, the more your skin seems to need it? It dries out, right? That's because your skin is becoming addicted to the outside source of hydration: the moisturizer you've been piling on.

Look, I'm not recommending you swear off moisturizers. I realize tightness and dryness call for it sometimes. But, you need a functional moisturizer to keep your cells active and healthy. Look for moisturizers that contain Retinol so skin is hydrated, but cells are simultaneously stimulated. The higher the concentration of Retinol, the better. Otherwise, you're creating more problems for your skin, including accelerating the signs of aging.

So, there you have it: The truth about moisturizing. Not quite the same information you've been given over the years, I know. But, remember, I'm not selling you anything. I'm giving you something: knowledge. And, knowledge is power.
