Ideally, you will have two moisturizers, one for day that is lighter and includes an SPF, and one for night that is a bit heavier. Before applying makeup, you will want to use the lighter moisturizer. Make sure that your day time moisturizer contains at least SPF 15 to protect your skin from the sun.  If you struggle with breakouts and/or oily skin look for oil-free moisturizers that are non-comodogenic. If you have dry skin you can look for creams that are a bit thicker to wear during the day. A thicker cream will also give you a more dewy look. If you are prone to dry skin, adding a serum to your routine can help add a little extra moisture to your face. With most facial products, it’s important to remember that a little bit goes a long way, and this is especially true in the case of serums.  Look for serums that contain antioxidants, such as Vitamin C; anti-inflammatories, such as Zinc; and hydrators such as amino acids. Apply this after cleansing and toning, but before applying moisturizer. If you want to incorporate a serum into your routine, but have oilier skin, try applying the serum at night. Gently dab a few dots of serum on your cheeks, forehead, and chin and gently pat into the skin.

Summary:
Choose the right moisturizer. Consider applying a serum.
