Moisturizer is a vital component in skincare. It not only retains moisture in the skin but also protects it from external dust, pollution, and sun. But not all skin needs are the same, so choosing the right moisturizer (ม อย เจอร์ ไร เซอร์, which is the term in Thai)  is the most important thing. In this article, we will discuss types of moisturizer and their uses according to different skin types.

Why Does Moisturizer Matter?

If the skin loses moisture, it becomes dry and rough and starts showing signs of aging. Moisturizer helps retain the skin’s natural moisture and keeps the skin soft and smooth. It acts as a protective shield for the skin and is also very effective before makeup. You must keep the moisturizer in your daily skin care routine to get radiant skin.

Types Of Moisturizers

There are many types of moisturizers available in the market now, each designed to meet the needs of different skin types. Some common types are given below:

Cream: Thick and heavy. Suitable for dry or extra dry skin.

Lotion: Light, absorbs quickly. Good for normal skin.

Gel: Oil-free and fresh finish. Best for oily and acne-prone skin.

Serum-type moisturizers: Thin, but provide deep moisture. Serums with hyaluronic acid or vitamins work as moisturizers.

There are different types of products available in the market. These are formulated to meet the needs of different skin types.

Choose A Moisturizer According To Your Skin Type

Dry Skin:

Those who have cracked or tight skin need a cream with thick, moisturizing ingredients. Moisturizers with shea butter, ceramides, or glycerin are suitable for this skin type.

Oily Skin:

This skin produces excess oil. So choose a light, gel-based moisturizer that won’t clog pores. Choose oil-free and non-comedogenic products.

Combination Skin:

Oily T-zone (nose, forehead, chin) and dry the rest of your face? Then choose a moisturizer that is light but provides enough moisture.

Sensitive Skin:

This skin is prone to rashes, redness, or itching. So, products that are alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and contain aloe vera or chamomile are best.

Mature Skin:

As you age, your skin becomes thinner and drier. You need a moisturizer that is rich in collagen, hyaluronic acid, or anti-aging ingredients.

Conclusion

A good moisturizer keeps your skin healthy, soft, and radiant. Use it every morning and night. It is wise to choose a moisturizer accordingly after understanding your skin type.

So, understand your skin type and then apply the moisturizer according to its needs.
