Moisturizer is designed to hydrate and nourish skin to protect against environmental pollutants and premature aging. However, moisturizers are only effective if they are properly absorbed into the skin.
Dry skin has a layer of dead skin cells that can block pores that prevents moisturizer ingredients from penetrating the deeper layers of your epidermis. Damp skin is more receptive to moisturizers, especially if your moisturizer contains humectant ingredients, like Sea Buckthorn oil found in FaceDoctor Beauty Cream.
