Moisturizer is one of the most – if not the most – important parts of your skincare routine. Keeping your skin well hydrated keeps it healthy on both a visible and inner level. Drier skin shows the effects of aging more clearly, plus is more likely to develop flaws like fine lines and wrinkles. So in turn, using moisturizer daily can help smooth out these lines and promote a plump, firm texture in the skin.
Your nighttime moisturizer is even more important than your day cream because with this product, you have the opportunity to select a heavyweight cream that works to penetrate deep into the skin and deliver essential hydration. For the best results, pick a moisturizer made with hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, making it a great natural hydrator. Humectants draw water to the skin and help the skin to retain moisture, thus preventing water loss. Many people have found hyaluronic acid to be an excellent part of an anti-aging skincare routine because it can visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, firm the skin and speed up the skin’s healing process.
These are the best hyaluronic acid moisturizers to try:
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
This award-winning moisturizer is made with a gel formula of hyaluronic acid to act as a sponge for dry skin cells and deeply hydrate dry, tired skin instantly. It leaves skin noticeably smooth, supple and bright, even with the lightweight formula.
