Shower, towel off, moisturize. Pretty straightforward, right? Then why is it many of us end up abandoning the “moisturize” step or are unhappy with the results when we do apply a moisturizer?
The truth is this: moisturizers aren’t all the same. Pick the right one and you’ll be rewarded with smooth, hydrated, glowing skin. But pick the wrong one and you may find yourself less than happy because the product feels too greasy, leaves a film on your skin, isn’t doing its job properly (“Hello? My legs are still flaky!”), or, worse yet, has caused you to itch. Fortunately, there is a moisturizer for you. Haven’t found it yet? Read on.
If you have: Normal skin, with oily tendencies
You need: Something light that won’t leave a film
Try: Life Brand Daily Moisturizing lotion. The formula will penetrate and not “sit” on skin. Avoid applying it to oily areas like neck and back.
If you have: Sensitive skin
You need: A gentle, non-irritating moisturizer
Try: Life Brand Skin Lotion Dry Skin Formula. This moisturizer will hydrate your skin so it looks and feels healthier. Apply it as needed, post-shower or bath (or anytime), but avoid using it on freshly shaved skin.
If you have: Recently sunburned skin
You need: To maintain moisture and avoid irritants while skin peels and heals
Try: Presuming a couple days have passed and first aid is no longer needed, baby your sunburned skin. Limit yourself to short, warm—not hot!—showers (not baths!), and apply Life Brand Skin Lotion Aloe Naturals when you get out, and as needed.
If you have: Very dry skin
You need: A targeted, heavy-duty moisturizing regimen
Try: Layering on moisturizing products for extended protection.
Start with Life Brand Vitamin E 100 Pure Oil. Rub it onto wet skin before you dry off post-shower or bath. Then pat yourself off with a towel (don’t rub). Once the oil has penetrated your skin (work on your hair while you give it a minute or two), apply Life Brand Skin Lotion Extra Strength. For problem areas like elbows and knees, massage on velvety, deep-conditioning Life Brand Creamy Lotion for Problem Skin or even Life Brand Glycerin Hand Cream.
