face moisturizers

A face moisturizer is a skincare product designed to hydrate and protect the skin. It helps to lock in moisture, prevent dryness, and maintain the skin's natural barrier, essential for a healthy and radiant complexion.

For oily skin, look for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers. If you have dry skin, choose a richer, cream-based formula. Those with sensitive skin should opt for fragrance-free and hypoallergenic options. Combination skin benefits from a balancing moisturizer.

While it's not harmful, it's better to use a moisturizer without SPF at night. Night creams are typically formulated to support skin repair and don’t contain sun protection, which isn't needed while you sleep.

Apply moisturizer twice a day, morning and night, to clean skin. This helps to protect your skin from environmental factors during the day and aids in the skin’s natural repair process at night.

Yes, face moisturizers do expire. Check the packaging for the expiration date and pay attention to any changes in colour, smell, or texture. Typically, a moisturizer should be used within 6 months to a year after opening.

Natural ingredients can be gentler on the skin, reducing the risk of irritation. Ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, and green tea provide hydration and antioxidants without the harsh chemicals found in some synthetic products.

It's not recommended as body lotions may contain ingredients that are too harsh or comedogenic for the delicate facial skin. Face moisturizers are specifically formulated to address facial skincare needs.

Stop using the moisturizer immediately and switch to a non-comedogenic formula designed for acne-prone skin. Always patch test a new product to minimize potential breakouts.

Yes, many face moisturizers contain ingredients like retinol, peptides, and antioxidants that help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.

After cleansing, apply a pea-sized amount of moisturizer to your face and neck. Gently massage it into your skin using upward strokes, allowing it to fully absorb before applying makeup or sunscreen.
