Moisturizing

Moisturizers are used to hydrate dry skin, improve and prevent rough, cracked skin, restore the natural feel of the skin to make it soft, silky, and smooth, or alleviate skin conditions such as eczema, contact dermatitis, or rosacea. In essence, most people use moisturizers to ensure their skin feels and looks nice without any discomfort. It is a crucial aspect of skincare, particularly for areas prone to dryness or that have impaired barrier function. Moisturizing skincare can contribute to preventing and treating skin diseases and disorders. The term "moisturization" holds different meanings depending on its intended purpose and how it is applied. Different formulations exist for different skin types, such as lightweight gels for oily skin and rich creams for dry skin.
