The most wrinkle-free faces are the ones that are the most moisturized. Moisturizing is essential, night and day and all year around and now that summer is just around the corner, you may want to switch to a much lighter moisturizer. Remember that being exposed to air conditioning can really dry out the skin.
 
For daytime, the most important ingredient is sunscreen. Luckily most moisturizers include a sunscreen these days. Clarins Super Restorative Day has a Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen. Besides protecting your skin from the sun, it feels refreshing and has a beautiful illuminating effect. 
 
Another great light moisturizer for summer is the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 30. This lightweight number one selling moisturizer, offered with an SPF Broad Spectrum option is perfect for summer as it is easily absorbed and improves skin texture all day. 
 
For nighttime you may be able to get away with your usual moisturizer depending on your skin type. When you wake up take a look at how your skin feels before you wash it. If it feels a bit greasy then it's time to switch up to a lighter formula.
 
Clarins’ Vital Light Night Cream is great because it's suitable for all skin types. This youthful formula will wake you up looking revitalized and refreshed.
 
With any moisturizer, remember to massage into the face and don't forget your neck and décolleté!
