Moisturizers are designed to hydrate and protect the skin. It typically contains ingredients that attract water (humectants), seal in moisture (occlusives), and smooth the skin’s surface (emollients). They are the second last step of your skin care routine, after serums and before SPF.
By maintaining proper hydration, a moisturizer helps keep the skin barrier strong and functional. This reduces dryness, flakiness, and irritation, while also improving elasticity and softness. Regular use can support overall skin health by preventing water loss, enhancing resilience against environmental stressors, and promoting a smoother, more balanced complexion.
