Moisturizing is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. It may seem like a mundane task, but this simple cream actually has the power to transform, protect, hydrate, and improve your skin. And, it can even make you look younger, too!

“Taking steps to regularly moisturize your skin as you age is one of the best ways to keep your skin healthy,” according to the experts at Dr. Yeoman’s Dermatology Office. “The loss of moisture in your skin can begin as early as the age of 40. For this reason, it is important that early on you start to take steps to moisturize your skin.”

When looking for a moisturizer, it’s best to choose a formula that’s thick instead of water-based as it will help your skin retain moisture longer. You should also choose one that features hyaluronic acid to help keep your skin’s hydration levels up. Without it, you run the risk of having skin that’s flaky, dry, and rough.

It’s also good to use natural skincare products that are free of skin-irritating agents and ingredients. Here are some of our favorite natural moisturizers:
