What does a face moisturizer do?

A face moisturizer helps hydrate the skin, strengthen the skin barrier, and protect against environmental stressors like pollution and dryness. Many also contain active ingredients that target specific concerns such as fine lines, dullness, or breakouts.

How much moisturizer should I use on my face?

A pea-sized amount is usually enough for the entire face. If you're using a very lightweight gel or a product with SPF, you may need slightly more. Apply just enough to create a thin, even layer without leaving residue.

How do I apply moisturizer correctly?

Apply moisturizer to clean, slightly damp skin using upward, gentle strokes. Avoid tugging or rubbing the skin too harshly—especially around the eyes. Don’t forget your neck and jawline for a more even appearance.

What should I do after applying moisturizer?

If it’s part of your morning routine, follow with sunscreen to protect your skin throughout the day. At night, you can finish your skincare with moisturizer as your final step, unless you're layering a night cream or facial oil.

Can I use body lotion on my face?

It’s not recommended. Facial skin is more delicate and prone to clogged pores or irritation. Face moisturizers are specially formulated with lighter textures and targeted ingredients to suit the unique needs of your facial skin.

Should I use a different moisturizer at night?

Yes, many people benefit from using a richer, more reparative moisturizer at night. Night creams are often formulated with ingredients like retinol or peptides that help restore and renew the skin while you sleep. During the day, opt for a lighter face moisturizer, ideally with SPF for added protection.
