In the morning, it’s important to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen after moisturizing—this should be the last step in your routine. We recommend choosing a sunscreen with SPF 30 and three essential ceramides, such as CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen. This ultra-lightweight hybrid sunscreen features mineral and physical sun filters to help absorb and reflect the sun’s damaging rays. It’s also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
At night, CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel is the last step in your basic skincare routine. For dry skin in need of extra moisture support, you can also try slugging as a bonus skincare step. Slugging is done by applying an occlusive ointment, such as CeraVe Healing Ointment, to your face at night. This can help seal in moisture and help prevent your skin from drying out overnight. When in doubt, a board-certified dermatologist can help you build the optimal routine to support your skin’s unique needs.
