Skin Care Ingredients
Skin care products are only effective if they contain specific active ingredients. Although it may seem impossible to know every single component, you can easily learn the most important ones. There are several types of skin care ingredients like humectants, emollients, occlusives, and many more. Humectants, like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, attract and retain water. Emollients such as petroleum and shea butter create a protective film on top of the skin. Occlussives have similar functions as emollients, but they are heavier and, therefore, better for dry skin.
To make things easier, determine your skin type and find out what is bothering you. Then collect a short list of ingredients that suit you best. It takes time, but in the end, you’ll become a pro who can choose the best beauty formula.
