Complexion Class 09: Why Your Moisturizer Matters
Are you getting the most from your moisturizer?
Moisturizing is an essential part of every skin care routine, but what should your moisturizer actually do for you? We’re not just talking about hydration — that’s a given. The best moisturizers are multitaskers.
Today, our Dallas provider and nurse practitioner Hannah Muglach shares a few qualities she looks for in a moisturizer and explains how Face Whip has all three.

What should I look for in a moisturizer?
Everyone’s skin needs hydration, but ask yourself: What is your moisturizer doing for you? Is it just hydrating? Is it just making sure that your skin doesn’t get dry? The best moisturizers — like our new Face Whip — does all of that and more. It’s made with clinically-proven ingredients, has a rich yet absorbent consistency and can be used morning and night by a range of skin types. Each of these is important to consider when choosing a moisturizer!
1. Clinical ingredients
If you’re looking for a good multitasker, keep an eye out for clinically-proven ingredients. These will tell you about a moisturizer’s secondary benefits! Face Whip goes beyond just hydrating your skin. With ingredients like peptides, niacinamide and resveratrol, it offers additional skin-improving benefits while still giving you the hydration you need.
- Peptides boost collagen and elastin
- Niacinamide brightens and reduces redness
- Resveratrol combats signs of aging
2. Texture, consistency and feel
Let’s talk about the feel of a moisturizer. Sometimes, finding a good moisturizer that works for both morning and night can be hard. You want something light enough during the day that layers well with makeup and doesn’t look cakey or greasy. You also want something thick enough at night to seal in all the hydration you need.
You can always use one moisturizer in the morning and a different one at night, but one reason I love Face Whip is that I can use it in both my AM and PM routines. It has that rich, nice texture without feeling heavy or like you can’t put makeup on.
3. Versatility
Not only is Face Whip ideal for a range of skin types — dry, oily, combination, sensitive, aging — it also offers a range of benefits. Everyone’s skin goes through seasons, and having a moisturizer that addresses a variety of concerns keeps your routine simple and effective, no matter what your skin needs.
Hydration aside, Face Whip helps repair a compromised skin barrier, calm and soothe irritation, smooth texture and minimize signs of aging, too.
