I had a question about facial moisturizers that I wanted to post to the great minds on this board. Â I have read and heard for a while that a facial moisturizer is a great thing for your face. Â I have seen some new ones that have come out by Nivea and the Gillette Skin Care line that have Co-enzyme Q-10 (which I think is the body's natural moisture or it kills free radicals or something, I'm not sure) and they also have an SPF in them, usually a 10 or a 15. Â
Now my questions is this - how does a moisturizer, even if it's dermatologist tested or whatnot, not make your face break out? Â I don't have a whole lot of problem with break outs, but my father has what is known as adult acne so I might have to watch it as I get older. Â It just seems to me that smearing a cream on your face can't help but NOT clog up your pores in some way. Â Obviously I don't know much about this stuff, but I would like to start using one to keep my face in good shape and looking young (I'm 25). Â And I am looking to buy one of the ones that I mentioned or a similar kind that I can get at Wal-Mart or a comparable store for $10-$15. Â I can't afford to drop 40 bucks on a tube of cream. Â I also wanted to know when is the best time to use them. Â I shower and shave at night, and use Nivea's after shave balm when I feel I need it. Â So I figured the best time for a moisturizer would be the morning, and one with an SPF would be good as I am outside a lot for my job. Â Also, if anybody knows anything about eye creams and their effectiveness I would love to hear it, unless a moisturizer will do roughly the same thing. Â Thanks in advance.
