A facial moisturizer is the key component of a facial skin care and the main purpose of using moisturizer in facial skin care is to make the skin soft and hydrated.
Using facial moisturizers as part of your daily skincare routine can make your skin supple and healthy for several years.
You should apply facial moisturizers on the face after cleansing and toning. These moisturizers are effective in controlling the dryness in the skin.

Since facial moisturizers have anti-aging properties, it protects the skin from aging and gives youthful look to the skin.
Using unsuitable facial moisturizer or applying the moisturizer improperly can result in wrinkles, fine lines, dryness in the skin, and the skin to lose its suppleness.
So, it is most essential for you to use the right moisturizer. As selecting the right facial moisturizer for your face depends on the skin type, determine what type of skin is yours–dry, oily, combination or sensitive.

Right moisturizer for the right skin type

Oily skin: The skin usually tends to shine more with large pores and is often susceptible to blackheads, blemishes and pimples (large or small).
The need for moisturizers to an oily skin will be very less. Oily skin needs facial moisturizers only when the skin is peeling off, flaking or getting dry with acne medications. In such cases, use a facial moisturizer having salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide.
Dry skin: The skin feels tight and dry and appears dull and pale. This skin type tends to undergo an itchy feeling and may easily develop flakes, cracks, fine lines and wrinkles. For this skin type, it is good to use cream-based facial moisturizers instead of gels, serums, and lotions.
Moreover, select the moisturizers that contain ultra-hydrating ingredients such as avocado oil, lanolin, and cocoa butter. In case, if your skin is acne-prone, use oil-free facial moisturizers.
Combination skin: It is a typical skin type where the skin usually tends to have both dry patches and oily patches. The T zone of the face is more prone to acne and oily patches. This area gives more and more greasy feeling than other areas of face.
The cheeks are often prone to dry patches, as this area can become dry easily. People with combination skin can have flaking or chapping. The best facial moisturizer for this skin type is a light skin-balancing moisturizing lotion.
Sensitive skin: The skin often tends to be thin or flimsy and allergic to certain products. The skin will be sensitive to cold and heat. The right facial moisturizer for sensitive skin is an oil free moisturizer having ingredients such as chamomile, aloe vera, or vitamin E.
Determining the right facial moisturizer for your skin type is enough for a facial skin care. How to apply moisturizer to the face is also important factor you should know.
