Natural Skin Moisturizer
Monday, December 10th, 2007
Around this time of year, our skin has a tough time protecting itself from the harsh elements of winter. Dryness, wind and freezing temperatures rob the skin of its natural protective shield, sebum.
Sebum is a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. It is a combination of fat and debris…sounds gross, doesn’t it? But this stuff plays a vital role in protecting our skin and hair against damage caused by the environment. Plus, it keeps the skin moist and supple.
But for those of us that don’t have enough of these natural oils, a good moisturizer for the colder months is necessary to keep your skin from drying out, chapping and cracking. Some of us may even need two types of moisturizers: one for the winter and one for the summer. Toronto Cosmetic Clinic has an excellent line of moisturizers for all skin types and seasons.
