Buy the best facial moisturizer to hydrate skin.

Keep your skin hydrated, healthy and smooth all year long by applying a facial moisturizer daily. Buy the best facial moisturizer for your skin type, whether it’s oily, dry, combination or sensitive. Consider these tips to buy the best facial moisturizer to improve the look of your skin and protect it against environmental factors that can lead to premature signs of aging.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Buy the best facial moisturizer that provides “broad spectrum” protection against UVA and UVB rays. If your moisturizer doubles as a sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful rays, you’ll be able to eliminate a step in your morning skin care routine and won’t have to worry about the filmy white residue that many suntan lotions leave behind.

  2. Step 2

    Ensure the face moisturizers are non-comedogenic to prevent clogged pores and skin irritation that can lead to redness and acne, particularly if you have oily or combination skin. Hypoallergenic skin care moisturizers should also be fragrance-free and non-greasy to offer lightweight hydration.

  3. Step 3

    Opt for a different skin care moisturizer for day and night. The best facial moisturizer for day will include the previously mentioned broad spectrum protection, in addition to tint that can balance out uneven coloration (even taking the place of foundation on sweltering summer days). The best facial moisturizer for night should be heavier and feature ingredients like Vitamins E and A that work throughout the night to repair damaged skin. Avoid using a facial moisturizer with SPF at night, since it can lead to clogged pores.

  4. Step 4

    Consider a skin cream designed to combat signs of aging if you’re noticing fine wrinkles around your eyes and mouth. Products featuring retinol, for example, can smooth wrinkles and combat free radicals that can affect the appearance of your skin.

Tips & Warnings
  • To get great results from the best facial moisturizers, wash your face first and apply the moisturizer when your skin is still damp.
