If you have sensitive skin go for hypoallergenic brands that don t contain known irritants like perfumes. These include antioxidants like vitamins A, C and E which are said to help to neutralise free radicals unstable molecules that cause damage to cells resulting in poor skin tone, lines and wrinkles. The antioxidants promote natural skin repair. Some creams will specify the use of retinol which is a pure and active form of vitamin A to be used as a night cream. If cost is a consideration for you, remember that many expensive creams last longer because you use less of them.
Some cosmetic houses have trial sizes or complimentary samples, so ask at their counter.
When buying a new cream, make use of the tester and try some on the inside of your wrist. You ll soon know if it s too sticky or heavy for you. The golden rule should be that there s no such thing as a safe tan. If you can t follow this advice then you must try to minimise the risks. Never go out without applying a sunscreen.
