What Makes a Good Moisturizer

The best formulas combine three kinds of ingredients: humectants such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin draw in water, emollients such as squalane soften, and occlusives such as shea butter help hold the moisture in.

A Tip for the UAE

Air-conditioning dries skin even in humid months. Many people use a light gel in the day and a richer cream at night.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does oily skin need a moisturizer?

Yes. Without one, skin can feel tight. A light gel or gel-cream hydrates without a heavy feel.

How much moisturizer should I use?

A pea-to-almond-sized amount covers the face and neck for most people.

Do I need a separate night cream?

Not necessarily. Many people use the same moisturizer morning and night, or a richer one at night if their skin feels dry.
