Features of moisturizers

It is recommended to choose a moisturizing gel according to skin type.

Today we are offered a huge selection of moisturizers that can saturate the skin with moisture, give it that very radiance effect, and at the same time restore the epidermis. Due to the light, almost weightless texture, such products are most often used in the hot season. But it is possible to effectively unlock the potential of any moisturizing product, whether it is a gel, milk, cream or serum, only if you choose it in accordance with the type and needs of the skin. And in this sense, texture and composition play an important role.

Moisturizers usually contain substances that are able to retain moisture in the skin and improve its hydration.
