Like Ice Tea on a Hot Summer Afternoon

Cynthia Bell — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 03:53:35 +0000

My surfing tool me this time to a product review at http://beautyiseasy.com/2010/07/16/oh-the-scent-of-zensation-–-zensation-hydrating-moisture-cream/. The review is for a product called Zensation Hydrating Moisture Cream. The reviewer was very positive about the cream and recommended it. The part of the review which struck me was:

“With two key ingredients being Lavender Oil and Roman Chamomile Oil, you know that the smell is going to be nice. It’s herbal, light and fresh: the scent equivalent of a cool cup of lightly sweetened ice tea (with a gentle squeeze of lemon) on a hot summer afternoon. I now look forward to my morning application of moisturizer along with my morning cup of coffee – and that is saying a lot because I really look forward to my morning cup of coffee!

Final Verdict? I’m a fan the product and, thus far, so is my skin. $85 is steep for a daily moisturizer, but a little goes a long way with this product and I do love the smell.”

I want to make two observations. First, the description of this moisturizer as a glass of iced tea on a hot summer afternoon intrigues me. Moisturizer, ideally, should be that cooling refreshing balm to the skin. I’ve always felt that way. So many of them leaving you feel like you slathered on a layer of oil on your face. To find something that is in comparison to that a delight to use is refreshing.

Secondly, there is the mention of the price of the cream. It is high but I want to underscore the point the reviewer

makes. With high end products you don’t use alot. If the product is good you don’t need to put more than a quarter size dose on your face. It goes a long way.

Oil and water don’t mix. Everyone knows that. But some folks apparently confuse oil for water, on their skin that is. In reading on the web at http://www.theozarkschronicle.com/skin-care/facial-moisturizers-and-oily-skin.html , I found this discussion:

Facial moisturizers are significant as the skin ages, but many people are reluctant to exercise them if they have oily skin. The predicament is not with using a moisturizing facial cream, but with using the deplorable ones. Using the apt moisturizer can help oily skin objective as great as any other skin type.

Any skin type can suffer from a lack of hydration. However, this lack may not have anything to do with the amount of oil in the skin. The amount of water in the skin may be gross, leading to sensitive skin or skin that is flaky as well as oily. There are a number of facial moisturizers that can assist restore the suitable balance of moisture without making it oiler or causing blemishes.

Oil has more to do with the surface of your skin, water or moisture inhabit the cells below the surface. Oil is great

for preventing skin from drying out but it cannot plump out the cell and facilitate the cellular respiration that water can. If you have oily skin you cannot afford to use just any moisturizer but you must use a moisturizer. Just find one which will not add to your oily problem. There are lots of good ones out there. Look for “oil-free” or “for oily skin” in the description.

Cynthia Bell — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:34:42 +0000

Every woman knows the importance of moisturizers in her daily routine. The harsh environments of home and work take a toll on a woman’s skin, robbing it of vital moisture and making even young skin feel drawn and tight.

So we turn to moisturizers on a daily basis to counteract this assault. The best moisturizer is one which leaves

your face feeling refreshed and revived without leaving it greasy and slick. But what is that moisturizer, the best moisturizer?

Unfortunately, there is no one answer. I had hoped to be able to share my discovery of the best moisturizer with you all. But alas, it seems what works best for me may not be what is best for you and vice versa. Everyone has different skin challenges. Some of us have very dry skin, some only dry in areas. Some have problems of serial sun exposure. Others have the challenge of acne or rosacea. The best we women can do is to find our own answer in the recommendations of others with similar skin types and skin professionals.

So I invite recommendations and tips from you all on what works for you if you have found your best moisturizer. And if you are still looking, tell us what didn’t work and especially why it didn’t work. I will search the web to find the sublime and the ridiculous in skincare posts and news. Take this journey with me and we can all answer “What is the Best Moisturizer”?
