It is well known that many of the surface-active agents normally used to clean skin can leave the skin overly dry. They can be too aggressive in removing the oil off the skin. During this process, naturally occurring skin fats and water-soluble natural humectants necessary for good skin health are also removed causing over-drying of the skin. Thus, it becomes necessary to replenish the skin with moisturizers such as creams and lotions based on oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. These steps of replenish the skin with moisturizer and conditioners are time consuming and not the most effective methods of moisturizing the skin. An effective way to moisturize the skin is to lock-in moisture while wet.

Such products can’t be recommended for daily use. Skin after use become dry and therefore application of another product that is skin moisturizer becomes essential:
