How to Choose a Skin Moisturizer

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Gila for Expert Village. Now I'll be talking about moisturizers. Moisturizer, like it's name, adds moisture to the face. Today's sunshine also depends taking care of our skin with sunscreen. Many moisturizers also carry a sunscreen in it, so we’re getting 2 in 1 special. At the same time, moisturizers are so diverse in the companies that have offered in our supermarkets and drugstores. We could choose from oil based to water based, different types of skin types, and it's important to always choose the one that appeals to you. First of all, importantly, you must choose the moisturizer for your proper skin; normal, dry, or oily. If we choose the wrong one, we could be doing damage to our skin. If an oily skin adds too much moisture, it creates too much moisture, which turns into oil into the face creating breakouts, which we don't want. Please, always make sure to look at the label of your moisturizer and make sure that you choose the one with the proper skin type. At the same time, we want the moisturizer to always feel good to us. Even when trying it out, taste testing it on the palm of our hand or the back of our hand. We want the sensation, the texture to appeal to us to our senses of touch, so that when we apply it to our face it doesn’t feel like a mask; more like a second layer of skin. When I choose a moisturizer, I always choose one that appeals to me. How does it appeal to me? First of all, I test it. I make sure that the fragrance is appealing to me, not too sharp, but nice and gentle. At the same time, I don't want too much alcohol on my face. I make sure that the alcohol is very low or notwithstanding. At the same time, we also want to choose something that doesn't create too much oil in the skin so that when we're looking at us it's proper that the moisturizer is absorbed by the skin and not just popping out or leaving white marks behind. We want to make sure that the moisturizer is really part of us and we're happy to put it on. Usually, you'll get the sense right a way by testing if it appeals to you and you like it."
