Everyone of one of us wants a super glowing and bright face,for which we try out different cleansers,creams,scrubs and toner.The basic daily care for skin involves the selection of a perfect face cream or moisturiser.Both face cream and moisturiser serves the same purpose but the difference between a face cream and a moisturizer. Face creams are thicker in texture than the moisturizers and contain more nourishing ingredients that repair and condition the skin. In other words face creams not only keep the skin well-hydrated but they also nourish and replenish it. Moisturizers also do a great work but their main aim is to moisturize the skin. Both moisturizers and face creams help retain moisture in the skin and boost its ability to protect itself from the environmental irritants.Here are a few tips to guide you to select the right cream for your face/skin.

•  Never use heavy creams or moisturizers around the eyes as these could irritate your eyes.
•  The better the quality of your cream the more protection from dryness it will give you.
•  Never keep your moisturizer, face cream or other skincare or makeup products in the bathroom as water may get in them, which can spread bacteria.
•  Many brands offer day and night face creams that work together to achieve best results.
•  Always make sure the cream is well-absorbed into the skin before you apply makeup.
•  Choose a cream with sun protection (SPF 15 or higher) , specially during the summer months to prevent skin discoloration, brown spots, post-pimple scars and redness.
•  Always apply face cream or a moisturizer before applying the foundation even if your skin is oily.
•  If your skin is prone to breakouts or is prone to acne choose a cream containing alpha hydroxy or benzoyl peroxide.
