In every skincare routine, moisturizing is important, and this should come at the end of every skincare routine, to seal in moisture and keep the skin intensively hydrated.
The importance of hydration or moisturization to the skin can never be overemphasized. Hydration plays a major role in your skincare routine, i mean, your skin deserves its own drink to stay hydrated, supple and looking healthy.
I have used quite good numbers of moisturizers from different brand, they all have their ups and downs, but this time, I found another elegant moisturizer called “Simple Hydrating Light Moisturizer”, and you know what?, It’s a facial moisturizer in a 125ml size. I decided to put this skin-hydrator into the test to see how it goes after one-week of usage, I think it’s time to share my personal experience on this product, but before I plunge into that, lets know the importance of moisturizing the skin.
What’s The Importance Of Moisturizing The Skin.
Just like exfoliation is very important in a skincare routine, so is moisturization too. Investing in a good moisturizer is really essential as it keeps your skin optimally hydrated by quenching the skin’s thirst of hydration, reduces skin aging signs, helps potentiate your skin care topicals, helps balance the skin’s natural oil production and also helps your makeup apply better.
