The texture of a moisturizer is generally described as either cream-like, watery or gel-like in consistency. It can be light-weight or occlusive depending on your skin's needs. Factors to consider when choosing a moisturizer for your skin include change of season, skin type, sun protection, fragrance and ingredients.

A gel-like consistency moisturizer with humectant skin ingredients such as glycerin, propylene glycol and hyaluronic acid are preferred face moisturizer for oily skin to combination skin type. Emollient type moisturizers containing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil and petrolatum are preferred during the cooler months where your skin is more likely to be affected by the dry cold or dry heat from the heating system. If you have dry skin that is flaky and peeling, occlusives moisturizers that help seal in the moisture would be your best choice of moisturizer.
