what are the long/short term benefits of moisturising your skin?

Answer 1

The first and most superficial answer would be to stop you getting dry skin and give you great smooth skin. However, maintaining moisturised skin has many benefits for you in other ways. If you are like the thousands of women who suffer with stretch marks, keeping the skin supple can greatly reduce the appearance and help to prevent further marks. It can also help to minimise the appearance of cellulite as you are also encouraging blood to the area and improving circulation by applying the cream. Having plump well kept skin also helps you to maintain a youthful appearance, and if this is continued, may actually reduce the need for excessive wrinkle treatments when you age. However, you may find that once you start using moisturiser on a regular basis, your body may lose some of it's own ability to keep moisturised itself. It's down to personal preference whether you leave nature to it's own accord. Hope that helps a little...
