Just thinking about it makes you shudder. Why on earth would you want to apply oil unto your skin when it’s already oily enough?! Ahh, but you forget. The season’s winter and the harsh winter wind can take away the moisture of the skin. Hence the need for oil-based moisturizers.
Ointment form moisturizers contain the most percentage of oil because by ointment, definition speaking, the moisturizer will contain 80% oil and 20% water. This emulsion of water-in-oil does more than form a protective layer over the skin to keep in moisture. It also moisturizes more than creams and lotions do.
