How to Pick the Right Moisturizer for Your Skin Type?

Finding the best moisturizer for your skin type can require some trial and error. With such a wide range of moisturizers to pick from, it is not always easy to know what to look for in a moisturizer. How do you know which formula and ingredients will work best for your skin?  

 We are here to help you take the guesswork out of choosing a moisturizer. Here is everything you need to know about choosing the best moisturizer for you, to guarantee healthy and hydrated skin! 

 A good moisturizer will help to rehydrate tired, dry skin and should prevent your skin from drying out again later in the day. They also work as a protection barrier for your skin against environmental aggressors including weather, pollution, and general dirt that your skin picks up throughout the day. The barrier prevents the natural oil in your skin from escaping, helping fight against dryness and skin irritation. 

How to choose a moisturizer in 3 simple steps  

1. Consider your skin type 

When choosing your moisturizer, your skin type might be the most important thing to consider. Your daily skincare routine should be tailored to your specific skin type. Whether you have dry, oily, combination or sensitive skin, there will be products that work better than others to give you the best results.  

2. How much hydration do you require? 

All skin types require hydration to varying degrees, but some products will serve you better than others. For example, if you have particularly dry skin, you may choose a rich, moisturizing night cream for dry skin like the Jericho Body Lotion Sheer Delicacy.  This is the best moisturizer for dry skin which is composed of dead sea minerals and plant extracts, this gentle and non-greasy lotion softens your skin and provides it with the needed nutrients. 

For oily skin- Look for products containing alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid or salicylic acid), benzoyl peroxide, and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients are effective at controlling excess sebum production while hyaluronic acid will produce hydration only in areas needed. The best moisturizer for oily skin is Jericho Premium Oil-Free Facial Cream. 

For sensitive skin- Look for products containing aloe vera, oatmeal, and shea butter. Check Jericho Calming Aloe Vera Gel for sensitive skin. Rich in Aloe Vera and natural Dead Sea salt, Jericho Aloe Vera Gel is a mild anesthetic, relieving itching, swelling, and pain. Especially recommended for cooling the skin after exposure to strong solar radiation, and for soothing dry, irritated skin.
