Moisturizing your face with anything other than hand lotion might seem like a luxury, but adding the right moisturizer to your skincare regimen can be a game changer. Moisturizing can increase the skin's hydration levels, promote skin cell regeneration, stimulate healing, and prevent the damaging effects of external forces like sun damage and weather conditions that lead to premature wrinkling and skin cancer. Finding the right moisturizer to hydrate and treat your most worrisome skin issues can be tricky. Here's a few products, both steep and cheap, to save your skin.
