Dear Amy,
Do you think heavy night creams really make a difference? I don’t like the feel of a heavy lotion on my face at night, but I don’t want to neglect my skin either. Any advice?
Dear Creamy,
If you don’t like the feel of a heavy cream, I’m betting it’s because you don’t need it. The only people who need a super emollient moisturizer are those with super dry skin. You’ll get the same skin nurturing benefits from a lightweight lotion or serum-type product. Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Night Cream and Olay’s Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum are great, inexpensive options.
