Skin science: How moisturizers work to enhance skin health

Healthy skin is not just about appearance; it's about well-being. Moisturizing plays a pivotal role in maintaining the skin’s health, functionality, and youthful glow. In this blog, we’ll explore how moisturizers work, and introduce you to the remarkable benefits of Nilotica Shea Butter.

Understanding how moisturizers work

Moisturizers enhance skin health through three primary mechanisms:

• Occlusives: These substances form a barrier on the skin's surface to prevent moisture from escaping. Common occlusives include oils and waxes.
• Humectants: These attract moisture from the surrounding environment and the deeper layers of the skin to the surface. Examples include glycerin and hyaluronic acid.
• Emollients: These fill in the gaps between skin cells, smoothing and softening the skin. They are typically made up of lipids and oils.
