Many people use a cleanser once or more times a day as part of their skin care regimen together with a toner and moisturizer.
Personal-care items containing phthalates include perfume, eye shadow, moisturizer, nail polish, liquid soap, and hair spray.
Examples of solvents used in this process are cocoa butter, dairy butter, cooking oil, glycerine, and skin moisturizers.
As with most skin-care products, there is a risk of moisturizers being contaminated with bacteria that can cause disease.
The use of conventional moisturizers often only masks the dry skin, but do not provide an actual remedy to dry skin.
Moisturizing with an oil-free, water-based and non-comedogenic moisturizer is required in addition.
Squalane is thus more commonly used than squalene in personal care products, such as moisturizers.
As hygroscopic moisturizers, humectants work by attracting water to the upper layer of the skin (stratum corneum).
