Would it surprise you to know that the best facial moisturizer is not actually a moisturizer at all?

But lets look first at what a moisturizer is and what it should do for your skin.

A moisturizer is a product that is designed to improve the skins hydration, or in other words help the skin cells to retain their water content. If the skin dries out too much it becomes less supple and feels dry, and can be more prone to skin damage.

As well as protecting itself better skin that is better moisturized just looks and feels good.

And many different moisturizers help protect the skin in different ways, for example by including a sunscreen.

But sadly there are moisturizers that can contain suspect and even dangerous ingredients.

I believe that you should avoid using moisturizers which include mineral oil. Why? Because it isnt good for your skin, and as it coats the skin with oil to prevent moisture loss it can cause skin problems, like acne flareups.

And I also believe that moisturizers shouldnt contain a sunscreen either. Yes it is important to protect your skin from sunburn, vital actually. But there are some ingredients in sunscreens that some believe can cause cancer. And if you’re using a moisturizer every day, as you should, then you’re putting on a sunscreen every day, which is unnecessary.

So when looking for the best facial moisturizer you need to consider the ingredients in it. There are ingredients in many skin care products, including facial moisturizers, that can cause skin reactions and allergies believe it or not.

So choosing the wrong facial moisturizer can in fact do more damage to your skin than good.

So lets answer the question about which is the best facial moisturizer.

I consider the best facial moisturizer to be the natural skin care products from a small niche skin care company that you probably have never heard of. Ill explain why.

This small company makes a range of skin care and anti aging products that are designed to promote overall skin health, rather than just moisturizing, because moisturizing is only a small part of skin care and skin health. But they don’t actually make a moisturizer, what they do is add ingredients to their products that mean that their products in general moisturize better than any others.

They don’t use mineral oil or a sunscreen for the reasons I’ve already talked about and they add ingredients to their skin care products that moisturize extremely well.

For example they add Jojoba Oil to their products. It’s a totally safe natural oil that works very well preventing moisture loss. It is absorbed into the skin cells and also leaves a thin film on the surface, resulting in better moisture retention and better skin suppleness. It is totally non allergenic and is good for all types of skin.

This small company does not differentiate between skin types for their products because the ingredients they use are beneficial for skin regardless of skin type.

Another essential ingredient in the best facial moisturizers is Vitamin B5, which moisturizes and also helps provide some natural protection against sun damage. It also helps repair skin tissue.

And Sorbitol which is found in grapes and berries and seaweeds and others and can help the skin retain it’s moisture. It is from the seeds of the Capuacu tree.

So hopefully you get the idea. The best moisturizer is in fact a range of skin care and skin health products that moisturize better than any others, but which also come as a complete skin care routine that leaves your skin healthier and looking and feeling better, and better moisturized.

So there you have it. A range of natural skin care products are in fact the best facial moisturizer you can get. They promote optimum skin health, but along the way they moisturize extremely well because that is an important part of overall skin health. For all skin types.
