Determining which moisturizer, cream, lotion or hydrator to use can be tricky. Skin changes as we age and as seasons transition, so what once worked well may not be as effective over time. With the New Year in full swing, now is great time to evaluate the shape of your skin and try out a new moisturizer. You might be surprised by the changes you see when trying something new!
First, identify your skin type. Is your skin oily, dry or a combination of both? Do you notice your skin maturing or hyperpigmentation surfacing? Do you break out or experience greasiness? These are all conditions you’ll want to consider when choosing a moisturizer. Also take into consideration how much hydration you want from a product. There are a range of options, from lightweight hydrators and oils to rich, emollient creams.
Next, determine what results you want to achieve from your moisturizer. What benefits do you expect from using a moisturizer? What are three results you’d like to see with your skin? Identify what your skin needs so you know exactly what you want while shopping.
MyChelle is obsessed with creating rich, luxurious and nourishing creams to moisturize deep within the epidermis, softening and plumping skin, while also diminishing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
