To moisturize is to add moisture to something or make it less dry. … Moisturize is most often used to talk about beauty products, like lotions and moisturizers. If your skin’s dry, oil or cream will bring some moisture and softness back to it. Moisturizing every day can reduce the chance of developing extreme dryness or oiliness. Both extremes are harmful to skin and cause common skin conditions like acne. Using a daily moisturizer ensures that the skin’s blemishes are camouflaged.

It also regulates your body temperature, naturally sheds bacteria from your pores and, thanks to its thousands of nerve endings, allows you to feel harmful things such as extreme heat, cold, and pain. This one is obvious, but if you aren’t moisturizing, you will dry out your skin, and it will get even worse if it’s winter and cold out, or the humidity is really low. Without moisture, your skin will start flaking and appear dry. That’s why keeping your skin hydrated is so important to your overall health.
