Moisturisers are vital to every skin care regimen regardless of skin condition and do more than just moisten dehydrated skin. Emollients (usually lipid substances) help lubricate skin while making it soft, pliable and smooth. Moisturisers also help to protect the skin’s natural defenses against the environment while controlling moisture loss from the skin. This becomes more important as we age, when the Stratum Corneum’s protective lipid barrier layer may be compromised, or slower in replenishing itself. Dermalogica has a moisturizer for every skin condition; from chronically dry and prematurely-aging to skin with excess oil production and breakouts.
