The right moisturizer is an important tool in your arsenal to help fight against the effects of aging and keep you looking and feeling your best.

It replenishes much-needed moisture to your skin, helps with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, repels pollution, and helps with cell regeneration. 

With so many available products out on the market, it can be hard to know which one to choose. Unfortunately, choosing the wrong moisturizer can be a costly mistake.

Follow these tips to help pick a moisturizer that’s right for your skin and leaves your skin feeling supple and smooth.

Choose a moisturizer for your skin type

Knowing what type of skin you have goes a long way toward determining what type of moisturizer you need. If you have oily skin, light oil-based moisturizers can help.

Look for lightweight products that are easily absorbed into your skin and help keep sebum production (the substance responsible for causing oily buildup) at bay.

Find natural moisturizers that contain non-comedogenic ingredients (non-pore clogging) such as grass-fed tallow or grapeseed oil. 

Those with dry skin benefit from heavier, more dense moisturizers that help replenish moisture while also alleviating flakiness. Look for thick, oil or fat-based moisturizers that contain ingredients such as shea butter, tallow or beeswax to really increase the hydration factor.

Normal or combination skin can benefit from a balanced, well-made, moisturizer that works on all skin types. The options here are endless. 

Sensitive skin types should look for moisturizers that contain as little artificial ingredients as possible so as to not exacerbate their skin issues.

They also benefit from natural moisturizers infused with herbs and essential oils known for their skin repairing affects. Look for products containing helichrysum, calendula, chamomile, lavender and vetiver.

Look for products free of chemicals

The cosmetic industry is notoriously unregulated when it comes to the use of harmful chemicals. Formaldehyde, parabens, and phthalates are just some of the toxic ingredients used by many mainstream beauty brands that have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and reproductive harm. 

Instead, look for natural ingredients such as tallow, jojoba oil, olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter that can provide the same results without harming your body. 

Find the Right Texture

Ideally, your moisturizer should absorb quickly and leave your skin looking and feeling soft and smooth. You don’t want to feel greasy or sticky all day.

On the other hand, you don’t want a moisturizer that leaves your skin feeling dry right after you apply it. 

It’s always good to test out different kinds of moisturizers to see how they feel when they are applied, how long it takes to be absorbed, and what your skin feels like after it’s rubbed in.

After applying, how long does your skin stay hydrated, does it smooth out skin cracks after a few days, and how long does it last for the price. These are all great questions to ask yourself when finding just the right moisturizer for you!

As arguably the most important step in your entire skincare regimen, your choice of moisturizer can be the difference between glowing, radiant skin, and dry, dull, flaky skin.
