All skin types need moisturizing. Moisturizer helps prevent flaking and
dryness, and may help to delay the formation of wrinkles. People with
dry skin should choose oil-based moisturizers with ingredients to help
the skin retain moisture and protect it from dryness, heat or cold in
the environment. People with normal skin can choose from a wide variety
of moisturizers, but light lotions or gels are typically all that is
required. Water-based, low-oil and non-Domenic moisturizers should
be used on oily skin; medicated moisturizers containing tea tree
extracts or fruit enzymes can help to control oil production or treat acne.
