The human body needs hydration on a daily basis and this also applies to the skin, including the body. The face is the first part to show the signs of dryness, but the rest of the body also suffers from the condition.
In the short term, the lack of adequate hydration leaves the skin rough, red and peeled.
Do you know that hardened aspect of the heel? It’s dryness. Imagine that for the rest of the body!
With daily hydration, the skin gains a silky touch and a healthy aspect. In the long run, the use of moisturizers combats aging and protects the skin from external aggressors.
And don’t think that moisturizers are just for those with dry or dry skin. All skin types need this care, including oily ones!
The ideal is to talk to a dermatologist to indicate which product is best for your case.
Our team tested several body moisturizers and tells you a little more about each one. Check out our choices!
