Hydrating Body Cream : Why You Need To Use One Every Day!

Do you know what your skin absolutely can't do without?  Yes you guessed it "Water". We need it internally every day, but what about your skin? You need to use a hydrating body cream to give your outer skin layer some moisture as well.

Your epidermis loses moisture all the time, this often results in it becoming excessively dry and lifeless, this also causes it to age quicker. No one wants those pesky fine lines and wrinkles any earlier than need be.

Any decent hydrating body cream will contain ingredients called emollients, anti-oxidants and natural oils. These are specifically blended together to hydrate, moisturize and nourish your skin. Some special brands also contain excellent anti-aging ingredients. 

Emollients are substances that help to soothe and soften skin and correct dryness by increasing its moisture content.

An emollient has three basic properties...

Occlusion provides a layer of oil over your skins surface to slow water loss and increase moisture retention.

Lubrication adds slip across your skins surface.

Humectant to increase your skins water holding capacity.

Use these ingredients every day to hydrate and moisturize your tissues better.

D-Panthenol (vitamin B5) is an excellent emollient and natural moisturizer, which can help to repair your tissues.

Olivem 800 an emulsifier developed from natural olive oil penetrates deeply to better hydrate and rejuvenate your complexion.

Grapeseed oil is another ingredient that creates a film to help retain moisture, it also helps repair damaged tissue cells with its antioxidant properties.

Jojoba's natural deeply moisturizing oil makes your skin feel soft whilst helping to reduce wrinkles and stretch marks at the same time.

Cynergy TK® with functional keratin® has great moisturizing capabilities and can help to reduce wrinkles by stimulating re-growth of collagen and elastin proteins in your dermal structural layer.
