Regardless of your dosha type, moisturizers are a huge game changer for any skincare routine. But what type of moisturizer do you use? Which are the most effective ones? Are you looking for a lightweight skin care moisturizing formula that does not weigh down or make your skin appear greasy?
Thin consistency, but substantial enough is key. Out with heavy face creams and lotions, Puraveda Organics brings you lightweight moisturizing formulas that provide 10X the hydration with its low molecular weight, (compared to traditional ‘sticky-feeling’ creams), as well as amplifying your skin’s ‘glow’. These moisturizers are quick absorbing, ultra-light formulas – perfect for dry, oily, combination, and even sensitive skin types.
If you are all set to drench your skin with your favorite moisturizer next morning/evening, this is why you should switch over to a lightweight moisturizer:
What is a Lightweight Skincare Formula?
Light skin care formulas (serums or moisturizers) use clever ingredients and the latest scientific technology in order to brings about the best moisture enrichment for your skin in every droplet. These have:
Soft in texture: Lightweight formulas feel comfortable on the skin and do not leave behind a sticky or greasy residue, making them suitable for all skin types. These are especially crucial for oily or blemish-prone skin.
Higher Concentration of Ingredients: Traditional moisturizers have a lower concentration of active ingredients and include more “fillers” (inactive ingredients meant to preserve shelf-life but do nothing for your skin). Due to their special formulation, lightweight moisturizers, which are usually serums, have a higher concentration of active ingredients, offering faster and more effective results including the improvement of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Better Adaptability: Since lightweight moisturizers are quick-absorbing, they can be easily layered with other skincare products/ makeup without interfering with their performance. Besides moisturizing, these also work well with make-up to prevent pilling and caking.
Non-comedogenic: Our Lightweight formulas are non-comedogenic. This means they don’t occlude or block your pores, preventing issues like acne breakouts, whiteheads, blackheads, and many others.
Absorbs Deeper into the Skin: Our @PVO formulas are water-based with active ingredients that absorb deeper into the skin due to the low molecular weight of the formulation.
Why Switch to Lightweight Formulas?
Besides ensuring that moisture is retained and lasts for the entire day, our lightweight formulas promote balanced complexion, manage excessive oiliness, and are packed with nourishing (highly effective) ingredients. For dry or sensitive skin, look for formulas with Hyaluronic Acid and other moisture retaining ingredients that are also labeled as ‘calming’, ‘soothing’, or ‘gentle’.
For skin that is prone to recurring blemishes or looks undernourished, try our organic moisturizing and lightweight serums. These serums also refine pores (reducing the appearance of large pores, by keeping them clear of debris and hardened sebum. Certain moisturizing serums (such as our Bioscience Peptide Complex) with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and DevaBright reduce signs of fatigue, fades hyperpigmentation, and targets fine lines and wrinkles to make your skin look smoother/younger over time.
