Welcome back! We will talk about good face moisturizer for glowing skin.
The use of face moisturizer in skin prep before makeup application is a great step for healthy skin.
However, I came to realize that just because a word is used frequently doesn’t mean it is known or understood by all.
But, I believe doing ANYTHING with UNDERSTANDING guarantees consistency and a positive result.
Also, this post will explain what you need to know about a moisturizer, its benefits, and the types of moisturizers. Let’s dive right into it:
What is a moisturizer?
A moisturizer as its name states is aimed at bringing moisture to the skin, this explains why one of its key ingredients is water.
Because our skin tends to lose moisture, most face moisturizers contain hyaluronic acid which can hold in moisture.
Moisturizers when used on the face/skin have several benefits:
1) Firstly, When applied it keeps your skin hydrated under the makeup
2) Secondly, Moisturizers makes the skin surface smooth which eases foundation application.
Your face is like a canvas that must be treated well. Hence moisturizers are necessary to the skin.
In addition, It’s also worth knowing that we have different skin types, so its advisable to use a moisturizer that suits your skin type.
When should moisturizers be used?
Moisturizers should be applied morning and evening.
Living in the tropics (Africa), I am very much aware of how extreme our climates can become, either extremely scorching or cold. Hence this played a role in the type of face moisturizers highlighted below because of our skin types.
Furthermore, the focus of this post is for each of us to have 1 effective face moisturizer in our makeup kit, which promotes healthy skin.

Very informative blog. As a novice to skin care, I must say I have learnt a lot reading the very informative content. Most importantly for me, I think the prices of the products are in a range wherein even the middle class can afford and get themselves a good skin therapy.
