Which is more moisturizing?

Post by MBlovesSN » Wed Sep 19, 2012 10:35 am

So my fiance and I both love the Jojoba moisturizer. Between the Jojoba, the Oatmeal serum, and the BHA toner, my skin looks ten times better than before I started using Silk Naturals skin care.

Recently, my fiance mentioned his face was still a little dry so I ordered the Green Tea and Aloe serum for him, which he now loves. As of this week, he is saying his skin is still a touch dry. When his skin is dry, it's just a little tight and he may have a few flakies.

Considering he has fairly normal skin with a few small acne spots every now and then and a little redness here and there, which would be the next step up in moisture for a moisturizer? I don't think he needs a stronger serum as he doesn't have oily skin, blackheads, large pores, etc.; I just think he needs a little heavier moisturizer to keep in the moisture he does have.

Thanks!

Jojoba is probably one of the lightest. Try Raspberry or Emu.

The Argan & Goji Berry is very rich.... it might be worth a shot, too. There are so many good things packed into that moisturizer....

Emu was my first instinct. He did sample that one originally along with the Hemp and the Jojoba. He liked the Emu but picked the Jojoba because it was the lightest. I had thought about the Hemp as he does have a little acne here and there, but figured it was nearly as light as the Jojoba.

Would Hemp work, or would that be too light or just unnecessary because he lacks oily skin? I'm betting the Emu will still be the better choice (considering we don't have very cold fall and winter seasons down here where I live).

Thanks again!

I thought Hemp, too, but nixed it for the same reasons.....
