Is a moisturiser really necessary for skin? Especially face and hands? Does it really help?

If yes, what kind of a moisturiser is good? I heard that water based moisturisers containing AHAS are good. Is it so? Please suggest some good ones available in India. How many times should it be applied?|||olay is good with spf 15


it%26#039;s not oily.


or aveno





yes your skin needs it especially during winter


so your skin won%26#039;t get all dried out.


and the moisturizers with spf are better so down the road you skin will still look young %26amp; healthy


[cause the sun won%26#039;t damage it]|||Moisturizers are very important. Any good Day Moisturizer will contain an SPF. SPF is very important to protect your skin from sun damage. A good Night Moisturizer will contain skin repairing properties. Choose a moisturizer based on your skin type. You should be cleansing, toning and moisturizing your face every morning after you get up and every evening before you go to bed. Moisturizers work against aging and work towards healing. Also, you breath through you skin so it is important to take good care of all of your skin. Moisturize your entire body. Get a good body lotion. Get a good hand lotion. Be Wise! Moisturize!|||Moisturizer is only necessary if you need it. Some people have dry skin and harsh soaps, etc. exacerbate it. If you feel a tightness on your hands or face after washing, or if they are flaky, then a moisturizer might be beneficial. When you are older and you have less moisture and plumpness, it really makes a difference, but if you are young with oily skin it%26#039;s not necessary for your face. For your hands, most people wash them more than your face so a simple lotion will probably help keep your hands nice and cuticles supple.


AHA%26#039;s can be very irritating if you have sensitive skin. If it burns and flakes a lot, it%26#039;s too harsh. Chemical exfoliators are good to renew your skin, better than scrubs which is what an AHA will do. I find BHA%26#039;s to be gentler plus they unclog pores. Some people only tolerate those types of creams every other night or so, not every day.


For a regular facial moisturizer, for daytime get one with sunscreen, that is going to prevent aging more than anything. Just put it on after you wash your face in the morning, before make up. I%26#039;m not sure what is available in India but there is a brand called Purpose that is nice and gentle and oil free, also Dove has a good one. Just don%26#039;t put body moisturizer on your face, it%26#039;s too harsh. If your skin is dry, I would recommend moisturizer with sunscreen in the daytime after cleansing in the morning. And you can use your AHA cream at night after washing your face before bed. If your skin is really dry, you might not even have to wash your face in the morning, just splash with water and then put on moisturizer.|||Yes yes yes! moisturizer is important for your skin! you%26#039;ll develop skin problems and wrinkles all throughout your life if you dont moisturize often! ESP when you get outta the shower or when your skin is wet- rain or after u wash ur hands/face or whatever! If you havent moisturized regularly already-- you should use intensive lotion- liek Vaseline Intensive Care. Olay care works well too, as well as nutrogena. You can ask a dermatologist or some friends what they use and what they like. GOod luck!|||yes. it makes ur skin soft and look visably smoother. and yes i used water based creams and i get great results.


u should apply cream once in the morning after u wash ur face and once at night after u wash ur face.


im not sure which creams r in india but if they have it :%26quot;neutrogena%26quot; is a really great brand.|||I seen this on Oprah awhile ago with Dr. Oz. He said that all those moisturizers are a waste of money unless it has alpha hydroxy. He said that is the only thing that you need to have. I suppose if you look it up, it will tell you what it does, I don%26#039;t remember all the details anymore.|||Face mousituriser is extremely important for me. I put it on after my shower everyday.. I use ponds. I use the blue container It works veryy good! For my hands i just use any lotion.. Good Luck!|||Yes, moisturizer is very important so you don%26#039;t get wrinkles. It make cause some acne ,but once your skin gets used to it you should be fine.|||I think NIVEA is still one of the best! Doctors have recommened because there isnt lots of chemical like others...
