The Moisturizers I Can’t Live Without!

Here are the recommended moisturizers I cannot live without.

There are a plethora of moisturizers out there with various ingredients. What key ingredients should I be honing in on?

In the video, I do an overview of the different types of moisturizers I like to use and their different functions based on key ingredients:

1. Hyaluronic acid: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel (https://amzn.to/2VRORoZ) for the face; has hyaluronic acid which draws in water and increases water content throughout the day! I will do another video on serums which will also mention hyaluronic acid in your morning serums.
2. Petrolatum: Aquaphor (https://amzn.to/3bWKrmo) or Vaseline (https://amzn.to/2Sq26Lx) for ANYWHERE on the face or body; it is a great barrier moisturizer that traps in moisture. It is non-irritating like a lot of creams/lotions with alcohol and thus can be soothing for raw, irritated skin. it is also nice in protecting frictional areas from trauma. Most currently, our frontline workers are battling COVID19 with longterm use of N95 masks throughout the day and week and thus I have donated moisturizers including Aquaphor to hospital workers to help protect the facial skin during mask use!

3. Urea: Eucerin Roughness Relief: two versions that I like- 1) less urea and for large surface area of body (https://amzn.to/2xrZuFS) or 2) more urea and thus used as "spot treatment" on palms and soles of feet (https://amzn.to/3fac4dK); use either one for hands, feet, elbows/knees. Urea is a great keratolytic and removes dry dead skin very well. This particular moisturizer blends in well and thus will not be a bothersome tacky ointment on your hands throughout the day.

4. Ceramides: CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion for face or body (https://amzn.to/2KP4WFR), especially for those with dry skin or eczema. CeraVe also has niacinamide in their moisturizing lotion PM formulation (https://amzn.to/3bOJtbX) which helps with acne prone skin as well.

All products are over the counter and can be found on Amazon.com.
