Many women have noticed the opposite effect of using moisturizing face and body creams - the more you use them, the drier the skin becomes. Because of this, often such a cream turns into an indispensable and indispensable cosmetic product to maintain the necessary balance of skin hydration. For the first time Swedish dermatologists from the University of Uppsala have proved that because of moisturizing creams even normal skin can turn into very dry.

The study of molecular processes in the skin showed that the differences in the pH level in creams play no role. Within seven weeks, the specialists also examined the compositions of different oils, but again found no difference between mineral oils and vegetable for normal moisturizing and effective protection of the skin from external damage.

Samples of tissues treated with moisturizing skin areas showed that with their long-term use, the protective skin barrier is weakened and the activity of certain genes involved in the production of dermis fats is reduced, along with other functions. Doctors concluded that the long use of moisturizing ingredients does not help the skin, but only damages its tissues to independently produce the necessary fats and can change the natural structure of the skin.
