Moisture. Who needs it? Q&A
 Ask
Gigi!
Q: My skin type seems normal. Do I need to moisturize?
A: Rebecca James Gadberry, a recognized authority on
cosmetics, teaches cosmetic sciences at UCLA. Rebecca
says: "The major function of the skin is to serve as a
barrier against dehydration and bacteria." So anytime is
a good time to protect the skin. While you are quite
young the skin has a great ability to retain water,
which decreases as you get older. Dry climate and drying
products placed on the skin could accelerate the process
of aging, so Rebecca recommends continued replacement of
water loss through the pores of the skin. This means
moisturizers are an essential beauty aid no matter what
your age. Try this Natural Facial next time you want
to get glowing.
