SUPREME BEAUTY TIP OF THE WEEK:YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG You’re Doing it Wrong: Face Moisturize-FACE MOSITURIZERS

10

It seems simple enough: Use moisturizer day and night after washing your face. Not quite. What kind of moisturizer you use makes all the difference. PA Allison Santhouse at Manhattan Center for Dermatology in New York says women in their 20s and 30s who are prone to acne are using the wrong moisturizer for their skin type (namely heavy anti-aging moisturizers which clog the pores and cause them to break out).

“It’s a difficult balance, because they want to clear their skin but also prevent wrinkles,” says Santhouse. She gives her tips for finding a moisturizer that won’t irritate skin.

1. AVOID “COMPLICATED” MOISTURIZERS.
Stay away from moisturizers with too many active ingredients. “These ingredients can interact with their acne medications causing additional irritation or causing the ingredients to inactivate each other.”

2. USE A LOTION, NOT A CREAM.
“Moisturizers are a mixture of oil and water,” says Santhouse. “Heavier formulations contain more oil and are called creams. Lighter.
