Skin Care Review: Youth to the People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi

I’m at an age where I just can’t live without moisturizer. My younger me pretty much loathed the idea of moisturizer because I was oily and I really didn’t have a clue about the need for moisturizer. Now, I need my skin to feel moist for a plethora of reasons — mainly to keep my from drying up and getting wrinkled.

I’m glad that in today’s market moisturizers do more that just sit on top of the skin and occlude the skin. Now moisturizers are multitaskers with ingredients that improve their performance. Youth to the People has included adaptogenic herbs in one of their moisturizers, and it’s pretty much amazing. (read here to learn about adaptogens)

My results:

My very first application of Youth to the People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi was pretty much love at first touch just based on the way this moisturizer feels on my skin. It has a rich feeling, but absorbs and doesn’t leave a residue on the surface of my skin. I’ve found that recently my skin needs moisture and Youth to the People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi doesn’t disappoint. Additionally, a little of this cream goes a long way.

I have used this moisturizer both day and night with wonderful results. My test for a great night moisturizer is one that leave my skin moist throughout the night so that when I wake, my skin still feels moist. I love that for day I’m getting protection because of the adaptogenic herbs — I have a commute to work which exposes me to UV rays, and I am in an artificial climate with awful lighting, so my skin experience stress from those factors. However, my skin hasn’t suffered one bit while using Youth to the People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi.

Those with normal to dry skin would probably fare the best with this moisturizer because it is so deeply moisturizing.
