ALL FINGERS ARE NOT EQUAL
There’s a reason why there are so many options when you check out the moisturizer aisle at the skincare store .
A moisturizer is not a one-size-fits-all type of product . In fact , what works for you may not work for your best friend , sister , or mother , they all have unique skin types that require a more tailored product .
By understanding what type of moisturizer works best for your skin , you can get rid of some of your skin issues - it’s dryness or oiliness .
DRY SKIN -
If your skin constantly feels parched and you tend to have flaky patches around your nose , you have dry skin . Dry skin is practically crying out for moisture , so make sure that you give it everything it needs with an oil-based moisturizer that contains hydrating ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter . And since dry skin can look sallow and dull , think about choosing a moisturizer that is a bit pearlescent to help wake up your skin and make it look positively dewy .

OILY SKIN -
When you suffer from oily skin , the shine and clogged pores can have you wearing off any type of extra moisturizer forever . Unfortunately , opting to go moisturizer-free won’t help dry up excess oil , but it will dry out your skin . And, when your skin feels dry , your oil glands secrete more oil to help balance out your skin , which can result in overactive pores . Reduce how much oil your pores produce by choosing a water-based moisturizer that feels light and fresh . You can even find mattifying products if your biggest gripe is the shine that your oil causes .

COMBINATION SKIN -
Having combination skin can be a double-edged sword . On one hand, your skin is pretty balanced . On the other hand , it’s like having skin with a split personality – sometimes oily and sometimes dry . But don’t forget that both require moisture , so invest in two types of moisturizer to keep everything in check . You’ll need a lighter moisturizer for your T-zone , where you usually get oily, and then a thicker, more intensive lotion for your dry patches, which are usually around the eyes, around the nose, and on the chin .
ACNE PRONE SKIN -
If your biggest skin problem is acne , putting new products on your skin can definitely make you break out . That’s why your best bet is a moisturizer that also contains acne medication , such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide . When you apply your moisturizer , the medication will go to work to help dry up current breakouts , eliminate acne-causing bacteria and help you stay in the clear .
Just avoid heavy moisturizers – water-based is best .

SENSITIVE SKIN -
Do you have skin that gets red and irritated if you use a new product ? That’s probably because you have sensitive skin that reacts to the added stuff sometimes found in moisturizers , such as colors and dyes .
Protect your sensitive skin by choosing a moisturizer that is free of colors and dyes and instead includes soothing ingredients such as cucumber , green tea and oatmeal for your skin to drink in. Don’t forget to look for a lotion that also contains sunscreen to help your sensitive skin avoid damage.
SKIN CHANGES -
One thing to keep in mind is the fact that your skin will change types throughout the years . Changes to hormones , age , and even geographical location can mean that while your skin was once dry , it’s suddenly oily or your combination suddenly becomes more acne-prone .
Assess the skin you have now and make sure you’re not moisturizing the skin you had ten years ago . It’s nearly impossible to continue using the same product for years and years , so its best you find the most suitable moisturizer for your skin type , you’ll need to reevaluate when major changes happen to your skin occur over the years .
Without a moisturizer , your skin is left to fend for itself against a drying environment , the abuse you put it through every day , and even the harsh rays of the sun .
By making the moisturizer a part of your regular routine , choosing and using the best one becomes a no- brainer .
WHATEVER TYPE OF SKIN YOU HAVE , THERES A MOISTURIZER OUT THERE FOR YOU AND YOUR UNIQUE SKIN .
