With so many facial care products to choose from, it can be difficult to weed through all the hype and promises and determine what products are truly best for your skin type. There are cleaners, moisturizers, serums and exfoliating products that actually do help care for and enhance the appearance of your facial skin.
Cleansers
Facial cleansers are gentler on your skin than regular soaps which can be drying. MSNBC says the best cleanser for the face is Origins Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash. This creamy cleanser helps reduce oily buildup while retaining moisture in the skin. A top selling facial cleanser for very sensitive skin is Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser.
Moisturizers
A good moisturizer is one that is suited for your skin type and makes your skin soft and fresh looking. According to Consumer Search, Lancome Absolue Premium BX Night Recovery Cream and Aveeno Positively Ageless Rejuvenating Night Cream tied for the number one spot. Olay Definity Intense Hydrating Cream was declared the best daytime moisturizer.
Exfoliators
Exfoliators are designed to loosen and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, giving the skin a more radiant appearance. An excess of dead skin cells can cause facial skin to have a rough texture. Sephora Reviews and Ratings gives Jurlique Daily Exfoliating Cream top honors. This natural product contains honey, oats and almonds.
Retinol Creams
Facial creams and serums that contain retinol (a type of vitamin A) are used to treat acne and help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Simply Anti-Aging.com says Leaf & Rush Active Serum is a top selling retinol product that also contains vitamin C.
Sunscreen
Apply a liberal amount of broad-spectrum sunscreen 30 minutes before going outdoors to help prevent premature facial wrinkling. The best sunscreen according to MSNBC is Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream For Face. This product has an SPF of 55.
