Angela Caglia explains that for normal-to-dry skin (including skin made dull by aging or menopause), an oil-based moisturizer is best. She highlights her souffle moisturizer containing 'lipid lock' technology—claimed to be bioidentical to sebum—which restores hydration and glow without essential oils, fragrance, or silicone, and recommends midday application to boost glow and reduce transepidermal water loss.

Okay, let's say your skin type is normal to dry, maybe a little tight, maybe some rough patches. Maybe you're going into menopause and you're losing a lot of the beautiful glow to your skin. It's more dull and lackluster. Then the best moisturizer would be one with an oil. Now, oils work with your skin. Some of them, like my lipid lock technology in my souffle moisturizer, is bioidentical to our own sebum. Now, we lose our sebum production as we age. I know another thing that we lose is bh. But that makes our skin more dull and lackluster or missing that beautiful, vibrant glow. So when you use something like the souffle moisturizer, you're able to put that back into your skin, and it instantly hydrates and moisturizes the skin. So it's perfect for even sensitive skin because there's no essential oils in it and there are no fragrance as well, and most importantly, no silicone. So your skin is not going to clog. I also love to apply it midday just for instant glow and to help protect from transepidermal water loss.
