Combat Signs of Aging with Hydrating and Nourishing Moisturizers

Loss of moisture and nutrients is one of the surest methods to jump start premature aging in the skin. Add that to the damage caused by harmful radiation from the sun and you wind up with a face covered with wrinkles, loose skin, sagging folds and fine lines. The best way to combat premature aging is to care for the skin with daily moisturizing applications that give the cells plenty of necessary water, vitamins and minerals to create a radiant and healthy appearance.

Winter, the wind, genetics, the sun, unhealthy diets, not enough exercise. Is there anything that doesn't contribute to dry skin? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Dry skin can be caused by a whole host of factors ranging from diet and lifestyle to the weather. And, even worse, dry skin can quickly lead to signs of premature aging - wrinkles, crow's feet, laugh lines, and uneven skin tone just to name a few.

Facial moisturizers that fight against these premature aging factors are an easy and great way to keep the skin looking fresh, young and healthy. Moisturizers with antioxidants, emollient ingredients and plenty of nourishing qualities are dry skin's best friend. Dermalogica knows this and has produced a line of excellent, high-quality products to keep even the driest of skin smooth and young.

For dry skin that needs an intense moisturizing session, start with Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque, a concentrated moisturizing gel masque that will leave skin soft and hydrated after just one ten minute application. The long list of quality ingredients in this product includes bitter orange, hops, rosemary and horsetail, all of which synergistically nourish and hydrate the skin from the outside in.

Following a restorative treatment such as the Skin Hydrating Masque, use an all day moisturizer like Dermalogica Active Moist, made of lightweight, oil-free elements that keep the skin hydrated from morning to night. Active Moist contains a unique blend of silk proteins which create a protective barrier across the skin keeping moisture and nutrients in and damaging environmental elements out. Likewise, burdock, sage and cucumber have been included in Active Moist to calm and soothe the skin creating a non-irritated complexion that is smooth, consistent, and perfect.

Extremely dry skin deserves an intense, powerful blast of moisturizing essentials such as those found in Dermalogica's Intensive Moisture Balance product. Within this 1.75 ounce bottle of pure magic you'll find Dermalogica's exclusive blend of plant based nutrients, skin restorative vitamins, protective antioxidants and hydrating ingredients. Together these elements work to restore proper moisture and nutrient content while providing a shield from unwanted environmental damages to even the driest skin. With just a couple applications you'll notice a transformation from dry, cracked, and itchy skin to beautiful, healthy, youthful looking skin.

The heat and rays of the sun can easily cause it to dry, peel and burn. Worse yet, the sun's powerful radiation can leave the skin vulnerable to signs of photo aging and risks of cancer. To protect yourself be sure to cover the delicate facial skin with SPF protection when heading outdoors. Combining the protective powers of sun screen with the nourishing qualities of a skin moisturizer, Dermalogica has introduced Sheer Moisture SPF 15. The lotion is light weight and oil free and can be used in the heat of the summer as well as in the dead of winter. Be sure to cover up, hydrate and moisturize on a daily basis for beautiful, healthy skin.
