Age 54, how to moisturize face with topical water alone?

Asked By:sophiew in New York, New York

Hi: As a 54-year old, keeping the face hydrated is essential and I am contacting you to ask how long would it take to moisturize my face in the shower, with water alone, to approximate the moisturizing effects of a face cream, please? The reason I’m asking: I am unable to use moisturizers since they all contain ingredients that damage the eyes by harming the meibomian glands, irreversibly.
