Does Dewy mean Greasy?

In my perusal of all things moisturizer, I came across the post at http://truthinaging.com/face/kaplanmd-day-cream-spf-15-and-replenishing-night-cream-reader-reviewed . In her review of Kaplan night cream, i found this gem:

“The Replenishing Night Cream is clearly a richer lotion and I credit it with rescuing my dried out winter skin. These days, however, as the oil glands go into overdrive for the summer, I think I might back off from its use. One night as I was preparing for bed, my wonderful husband who never provides an honest opinion on my appearance because he always tells me I look beautiful to him (horrible guy, huh?) came in just after I had applied the night cream. I explained that I was having such a difficult time reviewing some new products and asked if he thought my skin had that “dewy” look to which he replied, “Uh well if dewy means greasy, then yes.”

This made me laugh. The sudden honesty of the husband was refreshing if not helpful. But it does underscore the importance of choosing oily skin specific products if that is a problem you have. You don’t want to exacerbate already oily skin even if the ingredients are good for the skin in general. There are plenty of oily skin centered products on the market. It is even doubly more important if you struggle with acne issues. Too many of the general products will clog the inflamed pores and made a bad situation worse.

What is the Best Moisturizer?

by Cynthia Bell

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”?
