As the weather starts to change, it’s important to start changing up your skin care routine too! One of the most important steps is finding the right moisturizer for your skin type. Using a moisturizer is one of the best ways to keep your skin healthy and hydrated all winter long. But with so many different types and brands of moisturizers available, it can be tricky to choose the right one.

In this post, we will discuss how to choose the right moisturizer for your skin type, and offer some tips on how to apply it correctly. So whether you have dry skin, oily skin, or a combination of both, we’ve got you covered!

First off, let’s start with what type of moisturizer you should be looking for.

People with normal skin usually don’t have a lot of difficulty finding the best moisturizer for their individual needs. The main thing to remember is that you should avoid products that are too heavy or watery. As always, checking the ingredients list is a great way to weed out any subpar products. After narrowing down your options, take the smell, texture, consistency, and feel of each product into consideration- everyone’s skin scent and tone differs slightly. You’ll know you’ve found the perfect match when the product complements both your skin tone and natural scent perfectly!

If you have dry skin, look for a heavier cream-based moisturizer that helps to lock in moisture and hydrate your skin. Moisturizers that contain ceramides or hyaluronic acid are great for dry skin types as they help to attract and hold moisture in the skin.

People with dry skin usually require heavier and more emollient moisturizers to soothe their skin. However, people with sensitive dry skin need to be especially careful when choosing a moisturizer since some can clog the pores and cause breakouts.To ensure your skin stays moisturized, buy a cream or lotion that will sink in quickly. Avoid using too much—a small amount of product goes a long way. For dry skin during pregnancy, purchase an item that is well-suited for sensitive areas. 

For oily or combination skin, you should look for a lightweight lotion-based moisturizer that is oil-free. Choose light, non-oily products. Easy application is key—you don’t want an oily surface that just sits on top of your skin. The product should blend well and sink into your skin. If you have oily skin, consider gel-based lotions, serums, and creams because they are more likely to sink into your skin. Moisturizers that contain glycerin are great for oily and combination skin types as they help reduce excess oil while still providing necessary hydration.

Now onto application. When applying your moisturizer, make sure to use gentle upward strokes on your skin. Start with a small amount and gradually build up as you massage it into your skin until it is fully absorbed. Moisturizer should always be the last step in your skincare routine, after cleansing and toning.
