Nutritionist Ekaterina Novikova told why you should not skip the moisturizing step in skin care and what effect it gives.

Our body is 80% water, so every cell needs to be hydrated. Skin is no exception. The type of skin in this case does not matter. Dry, oily, and combination skin needs moisture.
“The skin is the largest human organ and it needs fluid, but quickly loses it, and receives it on a residual basis, since the body first seeks to provide moisture to the internal organs,” says the expert.
Due to sufficient moisture, the skin remains firm, elastic, saturated with nutrients, the complexion is fresh, there is no swelling.
However, it is not enough to saturate the skin with water from the inside. You need to use high-quality creams with a moisturizing function. They will feed the skin with valuable useful elements from the outside.
Use moisturizing cosmetics correctly. In summer, choose lighter creams, fluids. They are well absorbed and do not leave shine, sticky feeling.
If you use a moisturizer at night, apply it at least a couple of hours before bedtime. Light moisturizing serums can be used both in the morning and in the evening without fear of oversaturation.
