Moisturizer is a product that contains humectants, emollients, and other ingredients to hydrate dry skin. Moisturizer comes in different formulations, from lighter lotions to thick, heavy creams. Moisturizers are used to treat dry skin, which may be chapped, red, itchy, and even cracked from lack of moisture. Moisturizers can also help manage skin conditions such as eczema. Moisturizer works by helping the skin hold onto water and it creates a barrier on the skin to prevent more water from being lost. Moisturizer should be applied frequently all over the body to prevent and treat dry skin, eczema, and other skin problems.
