Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it works hard to protect you. But between harsh weather, pollution, makeup, and even long showers, your skin barrier takes a beating. That’s where moisturizer comes in.
Here’s what it does:
-
Locks in hydration: Moisturizers trap water in the skin, preventing dryness and flakiness.
-
Protects the skin barrier: A good moisturizer helps strengthen your skin’s natural defense against irritants.
-
Balances oil production: Surprisingly, even oily skin needs hydration. Skipping moisturizer can make your skin produce more oil to compensate.
-
Preps for makeup: Moisturized skin is the perfect canvas for smooth, long-lasting makeup.
