Have you got dry skin? You might be misusing your moisturizer.
It turns out most of us have been using moisturizer all wrong! According to Dr. Barney Kenet, author of How to Wash Your Face, we are supposed to put moisturizer on when our skin is still damp. That way, the moisturizer is trapping in the moisture still on the skin. After you wash, just pat your skin dry, it shouldn't be soaking wet. Next, apply the moisturizer, let it soak in for a few minutes, then towel off the excess.
People with dry skin should get mild moisturizers that have no perfumes or alcohols. It should be thick and greasy in order to seal in the moisture the right way. To find the right one, put a blob on the palm of your hand. Flip your hand over, if it runs or drips, it's not thick enough for dry skin.
