Lets jump in!

Q: Why should I use a moisturizer?

Many of us have dealt with dry, oily, or combo skin and were told to use a moisturizer, but why? 

  Using the right kind of moisturizer can help your skin maintain balance - keeping it healthy. This will help skin with the dry, oily or combo skin & even out any existing blemishes because moisturizers provide a healthy sheen. 

​  The most sensitive areas of you skin include the face, ears, neck and chest. These areas replace themselves more often than any other area of the skin. The daily loss of skin cells leave these areas more vulnerable to dryness and the elements faced throughout the day. Using a moisturizer can help give your skin the boost it needs to repair itself and stay healthy. ​
