What moisturizer should i use quiz

Skin care is personal — or at least, it should be. After all, each of us has different skin types, tones, textures, concerns, and goals. One person may look for a facial moisturizer to help stave off fine lines, while another needs to use one that boosts hydration. Someone might turn to a serum to help calm irritation and redness, while another person wants one that can fade acne scars and ward off future breakouts.

You get the idea. Lucky for us, brands are taking note. With the latest in beauty tech, trends, and formulations pointing to a more personalized approach as the future , the importance of using products tailored to your individual needs is becoming more widely understood. And yet, without insight from a board-certified dermatologist, it can feel more confusing than ever to figure out exactly what those needs are, let alone how to put together a customized regimen. Instead, our editors and experts are stepping in to offer you more individualized guidance.

We put all of our skin care and product know-how into a more streamlined system for you, in the form of an interactive skin-care quiz. Daily use of the right body lotion should get your skin rebalanced in no time.

No need to overdo it with super-rich cream that could leave your skin at another extreme—greasy. Instead, choose a quick-absorbing lotion with ingredients that are nourishing yet notably non-heavy, like Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion , which owes its proven effectiveness to natural heroes like vitamin E and avocado oil. The most effective time to apply lotion to dry skin: post-shower, when your skin is still a touch damp.
