What is the best moisturizer and sunscreen regimen?
I am 24 years old and don’t have any wrinkles yet, but want to keep myself that way for as long as possible. Is it better to use a high-quality moisturizer at night, and a sunscreen-only product in the morning? Are the two-in-one product that effective?
Right now I am using a moisturizer + SPF 15, but on the back it says it has alpha-hydroxy compounds in it that increase UV-sensitivity.
Also, I am still victim to pimples….so any helpful advice is appreciated.
Ana, I tend to stay away from "all in one" products, it’s been my experience those tend to be snake oil. These are the three products I use
cleanser; Olay foaming cleanser. It’s a mild cleanser that does not super dry my skin yet washes away all that dirt/oil/bacteria.
face lotion: Preve by Isabella Pelle: has the highest concentration of the best moisturizer known to date; hyaluronic acid.
sunblock: when I’m at the beach, park etc I use either banana boat 45, or coppertone 45. I apply over the face lotion. I apply the face lotion early in the morning after washing my face, and at night after I shower. I don’t apply face lotion at the beach, what for? it’s just wasting lotion.
