My Skin: Moisturiser

Moisturisers increase skin's hydration by reducing evaporation, they are designed to make the outer layers of skin softer and more supple. For normal skin, moisturisers are used to prevent skin becoming too dry or oily. For dry skin, moisturisers are most likely to be oil-based and be a lot thicker in consistency, these moisturisers are also recommended for people with eczema. For oily skin moisturisers are still needed however they will be oil-free, so water-based. Those with sensitive skin will want to use a moisturiser without fragrances or dyes that could be irritating also ones that contain soothing ingredients such as chamomile or aloe.
