How to Make Your Own Moisturiser
Even if you don’t have dry skin, you might feel the need of having a skin moisturiser in winter season. It is commonly believed that moisturisers are only made for dry skin and people with normal skin don’t need them. However, the purpose of moisturisers is to rejuvenate your skin and keep it healthy. You can maintain softer and smoother skin by the use of regular moisturiser. No doubt if you have dry skin, you must have to use moisturising lotions, creams or serums to protect it.
Most of us don’t want to use chemical-filled beauty products onto our skin and prefer to go for the natural remedies. Certain fruits, vegetable and herbs can be used to make natural moisturisers at home and you will be assured of having no chemical side effects after using them.
