YOGYAKARTA - You may apply it every day, twice a day. It makes your skin not feel dry, and instantly gives you smoother skin and looks healthier. Then, what is a moisturizer?

I'm talking about Moisturizer, of course, and if you're like most people, it's an important part of your skincare routine. But have you ever wondered how it worksand what it affects your skin?

In this tutorial, you will learn how moisturizers affect your skin, who needs it (and who doesn't!), what materials to look for, and which products I recommend the most.

Believe it or not, the term "Moisturizer" was originally a marketing discovery. It's based on the idea that Moisturizer works only by moisturizing the skin, whereas actually more.

Basically, Moisturizer is a topical treatment that reduces the symptoms of dry skin and makes rough skin feel smoother.

Instead of just wetting your skinwhich can weaken its natural protective layer an important role of moisturizing is to trap the water and prevent it from coming out.

Depending on what else is in the formula, Moisturizers also repair skin barriers, provide anti-aging and/or anti-inflammatory materials, and reduce discomfort from certain skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema.

Dalam hal texture, sebagian besar Moisturizer adalah emulsi minyak dan air, memberikan konsistensi cream atau lotion. Namun, formula dengan konsensinan air yang lebih tinggi akan terasa lebih seperti gel (dan seringkali bebas minyak), sedangkan formula dengan banyak minyak akan cenderung lebih bertam, balesem lebih kaya.

What Does Moisturizer Do for Your Skin?

Formulated moisturizers properly perform three main functions for your skin:

Recharging Water Content

When the humidity is lacking, the outer layer of your skin becomes dry, not flexible and prone to cracking. Certain ingredients called humektan can overcome this by attracting and holding water.

"Humectan is mostly a substance weighing low molecules that binds water to the corneaum stratum," says Dr. Hadley King.

"They need to be used along with other components to maintain water levels."

Treating Skin Equipment

Materials that repair barriers treat the main cause of drought damaged skin barriers by replicating the natural lipid balance found in healthy skin.

"The healthy skin consists of the right balance of three main lipids: cholesterol, ceramide, and free fatty acids," concluded Dr. Mervyn test.

"They are the natural protection of the skin and ideally, they are in the 1:1:1 ratio."

These substances repair skin barriers by closing gaps between skin cells.

"If ceramides are applied with other lipids like cholesterol in a similar combination to those found in skin barriers, this further increases barrier repairs," added Dr. Justine Hextall.

Preventing Water Loss

To prevent water evaporation from your skin into the atmosphere, moisturizers combine humektan with an occlusive. This is the material that forms a protective barrier on your skin to stop the loss of moisture. It should be noted that the oclusion does not provide its own hydration.

"They put the searant on your skin by coating the upper layer," says Dr Elizabeth Tanzi. "This is different from pulling water and hydrating the skin."
