It is extremely important to moisturize the skin on your face.  This is true for men as well as women.  Moisture is depleted from the face each day from exposure to the elements.  Not all skin care creams are created equal however.  Many skin creams and lotions contain chemical ingredients that can irritate sensitive facial skin.  You are much better off choosing a skin care cream with natural ingredients. 

Each person’s skin falls into one of five categories; dry, oily, normal, combination, or sensitive.  Each type needs to be moisturized.  Dry skin needs the extra moisture from a skin cream.  You need to be careful what you use on sensitive skin.  Synthetic and chemical ingredients can irritate any skin, but they are especially harsh on sensitive skin.   Oily skin needs moisturizing cream as well.  It will help normalize the skin and help prevent acne and blemishes.  Even skin that is considered normal usually trends more towards either oily or dry. 

There are some basic steps to creating beautiful skin; cleanse, exfoliate, protect and moisturize.  Everyone should follow these four steps.  Skin cream can both protect and moisturize.  It is a good idea to use a skin cream during the day that has protective sunscreen.  The day cream can also moisturize, but the night cream will probably do the majority of deep down moisturizing. 

You need to make sure and read labels to find truly natural products.  Don’t just believe broad claims of organic and natural.  Many products that make these claims may still have chemical and synthetic ingredients.   Some also contain perfumes that can be bothersome for people with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivity.  Everyone should avoid petroleum products which can clog pores.  And always stay away from alcohols as they will dry the skin. 

Natural products with proven ingredients are your best choice.  Look for reputable companies.  Many offer money back guarantees or 30 to 60 days.  Look for companies that can provide research on their natural ingredients and skin care products.
