That is why dry skins are more vulnerable to early aging. And that is why moisturizers become a necessity. Moisture penetrates into the skin and helps to keep the skin soft, smooth and supple. So here are some natural moisturizers you should apply to your face type, according to the beauty expert, Shahnaz Husain.
