Moisturizing cream

The basic function of moisturizing cream is to lubricate, soften and moisturize the skin and protect it from the elements.

Water is important for all skin type. Experiments showed that when chapped dry skins were treated with oils alone the condition was not improved. However, when water was added or conserved in the skin, the problem was alleviated at once.
The greatest importance of a moisturizing cream is not only to add moisture to skin, it is its ability to form a light, transparant film over the skin surface which acts as a barriers to retain the moisture of skin.

Different skin type requires different treatment to acquire a desirable result. The selection of oil to be used in making of moisturizing cream should be careful. Penetrating vegetable oil is perfect by stimulating and replenishing the natural oil of normal and dry skin and nonpenetrating mineral oils is ideal to protect the surface without stimulating the natural oils of oily skin.
