subject: The Truth About The Best body moisturizer [print this page] I personally do not believe there is one best moisturizer. My opinion is that what makes a lotion or cream good is the ingredients it contains. So any moisturizer that has natural, effective and gentle ingredients has a chance at being classified as the best body moisturizer.
Now let me address the question, how do moisturizers effect skin? Their main effect on the skin is to make it less dry. Hence it stays moist at all times, and your skin will look good and feel the same at the touch too.
Great Ingredients to Look for
Babassu is one ingredient that also specializes in moisture retention.
It is a light, natural wax which is perfect for soothing and softening your skin giving it a nice velvet like feel. Clinical studies have shown that its ability to moisturize the skin without making oily is beneficial for cases of both oily and dry complexions.
Another good moisturizing ingredient is Phytessence Wakame which is sometimes referred to as the Japanese beauty preserver'.
Phytessence Wakame is rich in sodium, iron , potassium and calcium, all of which are essential in maintaining the skin's moisture balance, therefore helping keep your skin moisturized.
In addition to that, Phytessence Wakame is an antioxidant which is good for moisturizing and smoothing the skin. It's no wonder it has been prized by the Japanese for its ability to keep the skin looking youthful as ever.
These are only a few of the many ingredients you will find in high quality lotions and creams.
The best of these body moisturizers are not limited by what skin type you are or the climate in your area. They are simply effective with no excuses; you are able to see the signs of improvement as you continue using them.
