Using the correct face moisturizer makes all the difference in the world between having dry skin and wonderful looking radiant skin.
I used to use the wrong products and I ended up with dry flaky skin day after day. My skin would look good after applying the cream, but within a few hours it was not nice to look at.
I ended up with dry patches that looked even more conspicuous, because in the morning I had applied makeup and it looked fine, but by mid afternoon the makeup was all caked up because of the dryness of the skin. I wanted smooth soft skin, but got a bad scaly looking complexion instead.
One of the ingredients in the face moisturizer I was using that wouldn't keep the dry skin away, was mineral oil. I now know why that product wasn't working.
The mineral oil was stripping the natural oils from my face. It also was clogging my pores giving me even more problems. My skin was unhealthy partly due to mineral oil. I had no idea it was causing me some of my problems, when I had expected it to help.
I am fortunate that I came across a line of skincare products that were all natural. After using them for a few weeks, the dry patches went away, and my skin was soft and smooth again.
I credit that to the wonderful ingredients in the products. These include grape seed oil, babassu, shea butter, jojoba oil, active manuka honey, and avocado oil.
The active manuka honey impresses me the most with all of its healing abilities. It can fight skin viruses, fungus, bacteria, and even work where other major antibiotics won't work.
The horrible skin disease MRSA can be healed by using active manuka honey. Who would have ever thought honey could have so many amazing attributes.
Along with all those qualities it works as a face moisturizer also. I knew using honey in my bread recipes would give me a more moist loaf of bread, but I didn't know it would do the same for my skin.
Avocado oil is another deeply hydrating substance for your skin. It has even been proven to stimulate the growth of collagen. So besides keeping the skin soft, it also helps to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines.
You can find these substances in many skin care formulas. If you're interested in finding out what I use for a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href=" /">face moisturizer</a> check out my web site listed in the bio section.
