Did you know that day skin care is primarily to protect your skin from the hands of pollution, sun exposure, dirt and other factors of the environment that are deteriorating day by day? Which is why day skincare products use ingredients that form a layer of protection on the skin. Things like SPF and sunscreens are from the advanced range of products for this purpose. But did you know that your face care staple, your moisturizer face cream also protects your skin from these pollutants? If not, we will know in this blog. Your moisturiser is the most important part of your skincare routine. While certain typical products are used by only adults with very specific skin concerns, have you ever realised why a light moisturizer for face is used even by kids and senior citizens? It is the only product that is used by everyone, be it a man, kid or adult. Why so? Because of its importance for your skin. It stands unparalleled to other products in terms of the benefits it provides your skin. It replenishes your skin’s moisture of course but it also makes your skin healthier and protects it from pollutants. It not only forms a layer of protection on the skin but also makes the skin’s moisture barrier stronger. Here is how a light moisturizer cream works to protect your skin from pollutants A moisturizer is either an oil based, protein based or gel based formula that is mainly used for infusing the said oils, proteins or gel into the skin. It is technically a substitute for the skin’s natural moisture content that it gets from the water inside the body and not the water you drink. It is a common misconception that drinking water can make your skin hydrated. Skin hydration works when your skin cells have ample amounts of water. The water you drink may not even reach them if your gut is not healthy. Since skin hydration on a natural level is not in our hands and to make it function properly, it would take days and weeks of proper nutrition, moisturization acts as the quick way to do so. While you work on your diet, nutrition and living habits which will determine your gut health and ultimately how your skin will look, a moisturizing cream can take care of your skin. As soon as you apply your moisturizer, immediately it forms a layer on the skin. This layer prevents the environment from directly coming in contact with your skin. No matter if your environment is good or bad, it will create a thin wall alike. Which is why it is suggested to be bare faced during your morning run. Since the environment has less pollutants and more oxygen during the morning, forming a wall of moisturizer on your skin is not a good idea since you would be preventing more good things than bad things from entering the skin. After forming a thin wall on the skin, your moisturizer face cream also gets absorbed into the skin as much as it can. The rest of it still floats over the skin forming that protective layer. The product that penetrates your skin, interacts with your skin on a molecular level. If your face care product has ingredients that can unclog the pores, it will remove all the gunk from your pores, dissolve your dead skin cells and make your pores cleaner. Pore cleansing is an extremely crucial step for healthy skin. It is believed that only cleansers have the ability to do so but it is not the complete truth. Products that can seep into your skin, like a cream are better at doing that. We have been hearing all our lives about the importance of a moisturizer face cream but did we really know how it works on our skin? Which is why it might have felt unnecessary sometimes. Now that we know that a little dollop of cream can go a long way in protecting your skin.
