When to Use Moisturizer
Moisturizer should be the last element of your daily skin care routine after cleansing and any other products. Many sunscreens have a moisturizing base, so they can be used in place of other moisturizers. If you have very dry skin, apply sunscreen after applying regular moisturizer.
How to Use Moisturizer
Apply just enough to hydrate your skin, soothe dry areas, and soften the skin without making it feel greasy. Apply moisturizer sparingly at night. Dab it on the areas that need it and allow it to soak in on its own.
Eye Creams
If the skin around your eyes is often drier than the rest of your face, consider using eye cream. Some general facial moisturizers can be used around the eyes, but be sure to read the packaging for warnings first. Shop around for products that address your eye care needs. There are creams that hydrate and reduce dark circles, stop collagen breakdown, and prevent signs of aging.
Night Cream
Night cream is another great way to protect your skin and keep it looking youthful. It gives your skin extra hydration while it is resting, and works without the interference of your daytime products. As with other skin care products, you should take the time to find a night cream that works best for you.
Skin Protection
Facial moisturizers and daily sunscreens offer all kinds of different ingredients and benefits, from high SPF to antioxidant protection to added vitamins. Look for products that are backed by scientific evidence and testimonials from consumers. Make sure you know what your skin actually needs. For example, you don’t need a product rich in emollients if you have normal or oily skin. Be sure to find a daily moisturizer with a good SPF rating, or a high-quality sunscreen that works with your skin type. Dermatologists generally recommend you use at least SPF 15. Look for effective ingredients like zinc oxide, tinosorb, and titanium dioxide, as these provide full UV ray spectrum protection.
