How to Choose A Moisturizer
Depending on your skin type and skin goals, selecting the right moisturizer is all that difficult.
Ask your self this critical question:
What is my main skin care goal?
Get rid of dark marks/scars
Reduce large pores
Clear up acne
Prevent acne
Tighten my skin
Exfoliating moisturizers work best to prevent and correct all of these skin care issues listed.
We recommend selecting a non- comedogenic water based exfoliating moisturizer for night use.
Since the exfoliating process works to remove the dull surface of your skin, it is not recommended for day time use due to the risk of pro-longed sun exposure.
Exfoliation can allow your skin to become more sensitive and vulnerable to dark marks and age spots if you do not take proper precautions.
For day time use, we recommend a water based hydrating moisturizer with an SPF 15 included.
Your skin care system should complement the moisturizer you select. In other words, all products within your skin care system should contain similar ingredients that collaborate together and provide the results you are seeking.
An exfoliating moisturizer alone will not help you achieve your skin care goals, but if used in conjunction with similar exfoliating ingredients, you will definitely see results.
