Three Reasons to Use a Moisturizer
Avoids future wrinkles
Moisturizer will keep moisture close to your skin making it plump and flexible. If your skin is dry and it is tugged, your skin fibers will crack causing wrinkles in the long term. Moisturized skin is hydrated skin, and hydrated skin is able to be stretched without leading to an elasticity breakdown. Moisturize, moisturize moisturize!
It makes makeup / foundation look more natural
Foundation that is placed top of moisturizer looks smoother since it integrates with the additional layer of moisturizer. For foundation that is applied to dry skin, it will look like power, crack and have lines in it making it look fake. We have all seen exampled of this – do not be one of those women!
Prevents Acne
Yes, contrary to popular belief, oil free moisturizers do prevent acne. Cheap moisturizers found in drug stores usually contain cheap ingredients and therefore are not so good for your skin. The Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer is 100% oil free and contains pore closing ingredients. By having closed pores, you can avoid putting makeup directly into open pores which eventually lead to acne.
I second the comment about acne. I saw a dermatologist that specifically told me that moisturizing will help prevent wrinkles and acne. I think the second concern would be the quality of the moisturizer. I'm still waiting to try this product in particular but it should arrive soon. I've always been worried about using to much makeup for the sake of maintaining my skin. According to this article, my worries should be over so I look forward to it. Thanks!
