I don’t know about you, but being at home has led to a lot more dry skin, and as a result, a lot more breakouts. For a while, I was anti-face lotion. It always felt gross, like spreading globs of grease across my face. It clogged my pores and felt really heavy. Then I realized, I was using normal lotion on my face, and not specialized face lotion. Face lotion is made to help take care of the sensitive skin and easily clogged pores on your face. Most of all, it will feel better and make you feel moist and renewed, without that icky feeling. Here are some of our favorites.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream
Scouted Contributor Maria Cassano had tried every solution to cure her dry skin, except this. This oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer not only does what it says, it doesn’t irritate her skin either. Since she started using it, she’s noticed fewer blemishes, too.
Cerave Moisturizing Cream
Cerave’s formula provides the long lasting hydration you need if you’re a little more lax with your moisturization routine. Just rub this on after a shower, or when you wake up, and bask in your radiant skin.
Night Cream by Olay
This fragrance free night cream by Olay is great to correct deep wrinkles. It also, in my opinion, feels really nice to moisturize right before bed. That way, you don’t have to walk around covered in lotion. Instead, you can just wake up feeling fresh and renewed.
Neutrogena Oil Free Facial Moisturizer
Neutrogena makes an excellent oil free moisturizer perfect for super sensitive skin. This won’t clog pores at all and is ultra gentle even on skin that is easily irritated.
Aveeno Positively Radiant
This is a two-in-one. It’s a moisturizer and a sunscreen. If you have fair skin and want to apply sunscreen everyday, now all you have to do is put on your moisturizer.
Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer
Cetaphil is the most moisturizing cream out there. Unlike the normal tubs of lotion, this face cream is way more lightweight so you can rub it on and not feel gross. It’ll exceed your moisturizing expectations, and then some.
