Is Your Skin is Too Dry? 

Moisturizer works by locking in moisture that the skin already has.  Believe it or not, your skin can actually be too dry when applying moisturizer. When should you apply it?

The best time to use moisturizer is right after washing your face or showering. Don’t wait too long or your skin will dry out. If that happens there will be less moisture for the lotion or cream to work with.

Do You Need Moisturizer if You Have oily skin?

Oily skin does not mean you have moisturized skin. In fact, when your skin dries, it can sometimes over-produce oils. This is one of your skin’s natural defense mechanisms to moisturize itself. This means that even if you tend to have oily skin, you should still moisturize. Do it right after cleansing. There are y oil-free moisturizers on the market that won’t exacerbate the problem. Amber Dazzle Cosmetics suggests using Aloe Vera gel or juice as a moisturizer for oily skin. Aloe Vera also has many benefits like fading dark spots and reducing blemishes. 

Are You Neglecting your Neck?

Most of us tend to focus on our faces when we moisturize. We forget about our necks and upper chests. These areas of the body are covered by skin, and if you think about it, that skin gets its fair share of sunlight. It should NOT be neglected. Think about it. What’s the use of having a soft and smooth face if your neck and chest are wrinkled?

Amber Dazzle Cosmetics suggests avoiding products that dry the skin. This includes harsh toners and cleansers. Begin using toner, especially if you have oily skin.
