Guide to selecting moisturiser based on your skin type – Dr. Rajdeep Mysore
So why do we need a moisturizer we see so many advertisements about moisturizers which make your skin glow r white. One of the main functions of the skin is protect you from outside environment. The skin is very complicated which is made of cell which is made of oil and which is made of water on in a combination, so the skin to have the proper function to protect you from the outside environment the cells, the water and oil should be in correct concentration. Now moisturizers help the skin to maintain the water and oil content, so they should ideally be a mixture of certain waters and oil. Now we all know that you cannot mix water and oil, so when water and oil are forcibly mixed it’s called an emulsion. Moisturizers have been used from a very long time, so pre historically also there been used by earlier days to be used by kings and Queens to have a natural glow. So they use to use even very bad smelling products like Castro oil used to use fish fact and used to use so many other animal fact on their body just to make their skin glow. As advance started happening petroleum products in artificial moisturizer which was the earlier found to be very good for the skin a lot of products which have jelly were used earlier in lip balm and other moisturizing lotions. The moisturizer use now a days are going back to the base there again using natural product like beeswax, olive oil and other plant butters, plant butters and plant soil which are extracted by several processing methods. Newer moisturizers offer good moisturization, they can be applied only once and still keep the skin healthy, they don’t have a bad smell, they don’t have a lot of fragrance also because even fragrance can cause allergies, they don’t have stickiness, they are not visible to other people. As a Dermatologist we classify moisturizer as moisturizer for general use and those used for diseases or special moisturiser. For general use they are available in so many companies in so many malls and other places which you can use depending on the adjust-ability of your skin, if a particular moisturizer suits you don’t change the brand. Moisturizers used in diseases when people have very dry skin and Crack diseases called s Ichthyosis is a group of diseases where people have very dry skin. There are other diseases called atopic group of disorder where there are some proteins absent in the skin which makes the skin unable to hold water so these are seen more commonly in children and lead to a lot of frequent itching and allergy in these cases there are moisturizers which contain these natural protein called filaggrins. Also moisturizers which contain mixture of proteins and water in such a ratio which is present in normal skin to supplement what the people in these diseases don’t have. When choosing a moisturizer for general use you can go for creams, lotions or gel. Creams are moisturizers which can be applied for ares with high stress like the hands, heat and the face. Lotions are moisturizer that can be used on large areas because this spread easily can be used on the hands and on the feet and the on trunk area. Generally the areas that get dry are areas below the elbow below the knee area where lotions need to be applied. People with oily skin also need moisturizer, there are water based moisturizers available for people with oily skin which has classified as moisturizers gels, there are gel moisturizers containing aloe vera and certain other natural factors like hyaluronic Acid which is present normally in the body, moisturizers containing these both can be used in people with oily skin or pimple prone skin. Ideally when you choose a moisturizer it should not have a lot of smell, it should not make your face more oily and even one or two applications will be able to last you the whole day.
