The best time for moisturizing the skin is after taking a bath or shower. By moisturizing after washing, the lotion can help trap the moisture and natural oils of the skin to keep it from becoming dry and dehydrated. Hot water, while relaxing, can dry out the skin, while moisturizer can help in rehydrating it.
Because the skin is constantly exposed to the environment, especially the face, ears, and neck, they need to be moisturized regularly and protected against the sun. This, in turn, can help maintain youthful skin. These are the areas in which the skin sheds cells more rapidly, and they require moisturizing for self-repair. When applying lotion, massage the skin to stimulate the circulation of blood and to promote new cell generation.
Some moisturizers are better than others, so it is important to choose a lotion that is best suited for your specific needs. Those that contain vitamins A and B5 are great for building moisture levels and skin firmness. Anti-oxidant vitamins including C and E will fight skin damage and promote new skin cell development. Additionally, patients who have premature fine lines and wrinkles may benefit from a PABA-free SPF 15 sunscreen.
