Moisturisers are available in a mind-boggling range with the goodness of ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, sunscreens, almonds, milk cream and plant extracts like vanilla, liquorice, berries, cherries and even exotic herbs. They soften our skin and help in maintaining its healthy glow. Yes, moisturizers are available in a plethora of variants today; some claim to brighten your skin tone, some work hard to reduce the flakiness, some come with anti-ageing properties; whatever be their USP the bottom line is that moisturisers increase the skin’s water content and encourage an orderly shedding of cells in the topmost layer resulting in silk-smooth skin.
