Beauty Answer: We have said it once and we will say it again, don’t look at the brand or the fancy presentation; the real answers lie on the back of the packaging. Before purchasing any product always educate yourself with what is find inside a various product by perusing the ingredient list. There you will be able to look over the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to what you will be applying to your body on a regular basis.
When it comes to moisturizer and the same also holds true for lip balms avoid products containing petrolatum or mineral oil. These ingredients aid in trapping in moisture due to the occlusive barrier that they create on top of the skin. However, they do very little when it actually comes to skin penetration.
Skin that is already seriously dry or becoming parched needs ingredients that are going to seep in and really do some business. Look for products containing oil, hyaluronic acid as well as ceramindes which do not just rest on top, but penetrates skin giving it the real moisture it needs.
