Choosing the Correct Moisturizer For Your Skin Type

Facial moisturizers come in all types, formulations and strengths, which can make for a confusing experience for the consumer. The basics are very easy in that most products come in gets, lotions, emulsions or creams. Gels are typically for oilier skin types, as they are water-based formulations with no added oil. Lotions contain a small amount of oil and are suitable for normal and oilier combination skin types. The emulsions have a slightly thicker consistency are made for normal, or drier combination skin types. Creams are of course for drier skin types, as well as dehydrated skins and ones with sensitivity.
