I know there are so many products on the shelves for skin care. It is frustrating to see that each product is unique. You can hydrate, soothe, relax, de-stress, or de-age your skin. They have different smells, different flavors, different solutions, ointments, creams.
But to make it easier to deal with I have some simple solutions to the most basic of skin issues. The first is hydration. Some people have skin that is fragile, dry and dehydrated. You can tell someone is slightly dehydrated by the skin “turgor.” Skin turgor is a sign we use based on how elastic the skin is. If you can pinch your skin and it stays in that pinched form for a long time, we say you have poor turgor. Or if your skin stands on its own after moving it a certain way, it has poor turgor. Normal skin should go back to normal after being pinched.
Moisturizing your skin is the first step to strengthening it. A nighttime moisturizer is usually all you need, but if you have skin that stands up by itself or has “poor turgor,” then you should probably use it twice a day.
My favorite moisturizer is Aquaphor ointment. It may seem thick at first, but if you warm it up, it goes a lot easier on the skin. It doesn’t have those smell good aromas, and is not greasy like Vaseline. It is perfect and makes a nice complexion to your skin. This is a very good step to take for improving your skin. More to come, in the meantime stay healthy!
