How Do I Choose a Moisturizer?

Do you have dry skin?

Do you have an oily acne prone skin?

Do you wear sunscreen every day?

Are you looking for an AM product?

A thicker, creamier formula, more likely to "lock in" moisture, may be necessary for dry skin. You should also avoid alpha-hydroxy acids, glycolic acid, retinoic acid, and salicylic acid if you have dry or sensitive skin.

You should definitely use a moisturizer because skipping moisturizer could actually make your skin more oily. In fact, bringing moisture to the skin aims to minimise the oiliness because it helps slow down the development of sebum. If you are prone to acne, you should look for a non-comedogenic facial moisturizer that will not clog pores and you should also try to avoid any scented moisturizers with fragrances or perfumes.You should try out the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, GARNIER SkinActive 3-in-1 Face Moisturizer with Green Tea, NEUTROGENA Oil-Free Acne Moisturizer, etc.

Sunscreen is so important step in your skincare routine.One of the most noticeable and remarkable advantages of sunscreen is that it protects your skin from the wide spectrum of harmful UV rays from the sun. You should choose a moisturizer with SPF because applying a moisturizer with SPF is better than applying no SPF at all. You should try to select an SPF 15 or higher moisturizer and apply it as guided every day. You should try out the Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense Sunscreen SPF 30, Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer SPF 30, etc.

Due to SPF Broad Spectrum safety, the AM formula is thicker than the PM formula. If you are looking for an AM product, you should look for a product that absorbs quickly into skin, for a base that is smooth enough to apply makeup or sunscreen over. You should try out the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, Tomato Lycopene SPF 20, etc.

You should select a product that contains ceramide, niacinamide and hyaluronic acids that help regenerate and repair the protective outer lipid layer of your skin.
