I read that famous celebrities keep their skin young by constantly moisturizing. Should I use a moisturizer several times a day?
The word MOISTURIZER was invented in the 1950s as a word to sell beauty crmes. Actually, there is no such thing. Most crmes merely grease the outside dead cell layer of skin, releasing the tension on dead cells which can feel moisturized. The only natural moisture is water and this must be occluded INTO cuticle free skin with an occlusive lipid imitating our natural acid mantle. And herbal spray applied to the skin after the excess dead cells are removed is natures way of moisturizing. Crmes, which contain lipids, should act more as a delivery system of proteins, antioxidants and other nutrients while at the same time occluding or holding the water in the skin for several hours daily.
