Moisturizers work by duplicating and strengthening the role of your body’s own naturally produced sebum (oil) and thus protect the skin against excessive moisture loss. Sebum emulsifies with sweat (99% water) on the surface of the skin, lubricating the upper layers of the epidermis by softening and plumping out the dry, dead skin cells producing a fine protective layer of oil to render the skin more water-tight.
Moisturizers should leave the skin feeling supple, soft, and nourished, not clogged or greasy. Organic Creams are one of the best moisturizers available. Check out our organic skin care products at Fitness Beauty Spa.
