Normal skin contains a good deal of water, which makes skin look plump, fresh, soft to touch and healthy. This vital water element is so important to retain that the skin produces constant supplies of natural oil to protect and seal off the skin surface to prevent evaporation. But during the dry winter season, skin losses its natural water content in excess amounts and skin’s natural oil disappears when we wash. As a result your skin feels tight, rough, dry, cracked, flaky and itchy and extremely uncomfortable. Moreover the porous kin gets blocked. Skin is the largest organ of metabolism, it is in direct contact with the outer world and a silent respiratory part of our body. Skin cells are continuously sloughed off and renewed. Each cell in the body takes nutrients, uses them and then disposes of waste products. Many impurities from the body are also released via the skin in the form of sweat, heat and body odor. If dry and cracked skin remains in contact with the outer world for too long a period, it is more vulnerable for atmospheric infectious diseases
That is why moisturizers are so important. They enable us to replace those missing natural oils and to help keep the skin moist and fresh looking. Moisturizers work in much the same way that waxed paper helps keep bread fresh not by adding anything but by preserving what is already there. Most moisturizing agents contain a mixture of oil and water (relatively large amount of water and a small amount of oil) and the water content disappears when rubbed on to the skin. Some cosmetic moisturizer may contain harsh chemicals which may have instant results but harmful when used for a long time.
