The importance of moisturizing !
August 31st, 2009As I was washing my face this morning, I noticed something that made me shriek, both in terror and in surprise. I am getting crows feet ! I like most younger people have not paid much attention to my skin care routine, past acne concerns. But everyone, even young people, need to be concerned about the elasticity and moisture of their skin. If you want to keep beautiful skin you need to treat it right. A good moisturizer will not only moisturize your skin from the outside if will help keep your natural moisture in. So make sure you are drinking enough water to natural hydrate your skin.
Dry skin will not cause wrinkles and crows feet, but dry skin does not heal as well and is not as well protected from the harsh elements. A good idea is to find a moisturizer that has added SPF of at least 15. Nothing causes your skin to age faster than sun damage, so in addition to sunscreen, avoid prolonged sun exposure and try to wear a hat to shade your face whenever possible.All the moisturizers in the world are not going to be very affective if every morning and night you are stripping the oils from your face with a harsh cleanser, so make sure that you are using the gentlest cleanser possible for your needs.
If you have habitual dry skin that is bothersome, check in with your dermatologist, he will help you out with further instructions.
