I Found It...The Perfect Facial Moisturizer

For as long as I can remember I have had 

THE definition of combination skin. 

It gets shiny within an hour of 

cleansing and even when it is moisturized

it manages to have areas that are 

dry as a desert.

So, up until about 2 years ago I would usually just

skip moisturizing in my daily skincare regimen

in the hope of avoiding some of the shine and just

dealt with the extreme dryness that resulted.

Finally, after being told by countless magazine articles,

a dozen facialists

and several dermatologists 

that moisturizer is truly the cure 

to both overproduction of oil on the face and excessive dryness,

I decided to start my search for the perfect moisturizer that 

actually did all it promised.

About 6 months ago, I finally found it. 

Darphin Hydraskin Light is a gel-cream so it is slightly thicker 

than most moisturizers but, somehow, feels lighter on the skin than any cream

I have used in the past. It hydrates the skin perfectly and 

really does reduce shine. 

My skin is finally so healthy and hydrated that

it no longer overproduces oil and there is not a dry spot 

to be seen.

Now, all that said, Darphin, notoriously, does not come cheap.

At $62 a bottle it is definitely an investment. 

However, it is an investment I would say is 

completely worth it. If it is a luxury you can afford in any way, 

you should do your skin this favor and allow it to be

as beautiful as it has the potential to be.

If you are at a point in life where you cannot

splurge on facial moisturizer, I used 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture - Combination Skin ($9.99)

for a while before finding Darphin Hydraskin Light 

and found it to be pretty good too. 

I moisturize my face with Darphin

 after cleansing both in the 

morning and before bed. I could not be happier

with the way my skin looks and feels.

Get ready to glow!
