The Effects Of Moisturizers - September 21st, 2009

When I was younger, my cousin and I had whole arguments about lotion and how when I used it, my legs would automatically get tanner. We didn’t think about the fact that when your skin is really dried out, it develops a kind of white and dry film, and so by moisturizing you naturally get rid of that. I just came to a simpler conclusion that didn’t include the basic mechanics and she came to the conclusion that I was stupid, even though we could actually demonstrate the effect. We were both 5 at the time, so can’t count on a 5 year old to figure these things out. But that being said, there are plenty of eye creams and wrinkle creams alike that claim to get rid of wrinkles by using a moisturizer. You can definitely prevent them by using a good moisturizer. But you can’t really get rid of them. This being said, I noticed a couple days ago that I had this odd line in my forehead. It’s never been there before and it’s never really been there since. But frankly, I put a thick moisturizer I have on it, and it went away. Why? Because that particular area was really dried out, and it reacted in that certain way. It was highly temporary, and I’m sure it would’ve been gone the next day either way. But in some ways, I think many of us don’t think about this, and so when we see more dried out spots like this, we think they are wrinkles when in fact they are not. I’m sure it could also happen around the eyes and therefore those eye creams that use that method would logically work for those problems. There is also the fact that with really thick moisturizers, you feel a difference maybe deceiving yourself. But either way, if you want real eye creams or real results, it shouldn’t be based on moisturizers.
