Moisturizer is where it's at!

We all lotion our bodies to keep our skin hydrated and feeling fresh, so why wouldn't we also moisturize our face which is exposed to the most torment through the day?
Reasons to wear moisturizer:
*Prevents Wrinkles
*Creates a smooth canvas for your makeup
(otherwise your foundation will be absorbed into the dry areas and will result in an uneven, splotchy effect)
*Keeps skin young and hydrated
*Could double as a daily sunscreen

Find a product designated for your skin type!
Do you have oily skin? You still should be wearing moisturizer, but one designated for oily skin!
If your face is dry, it produces oils to make up for the lack of moisture. So if you have oily skin, and on top of it you don't use moisturizer you're just contributing to the cycle of oiliness.

If you have dry or combination skin, look for the specifications on the label while shopping for your skin type.

What are some good moisturizers?
Some women swear by all Oil of Olay products. I have not tried their products yet though.
I have tried the following:

Garnier Ultra Lift with SPF 15


Garnier Skin Renew SPF 28


I also highly suggest all KOHL's Beauty Dept. Skin Care!
Pomegranate Super Anti-Oxidant Cream


Eye Cream:
Eye cream is also very important seeing as how this is the most delicate area on your face! Apply your moisturizer and makeup around this area with your ring finger to be gentle!

Garnier Ultra Lift Eye Cream


Night Cream:
If you really want to be on top of things, you can take advantage of your sleep time and apply an even more concentrated beauty replenishing cream at night to re-fuel your face!

American Beauty (Kohl's) Beauty Boost


Bliss - The Youth As We Know It (Sephora)
