Lotions are formulated for the specific needs of different kinds of skin, so the first step is determining the type of skin your face has so you can buy the best product. If you have face lotion already, check the label to make sure it is the right product for what your skin is like now. Skin changes all the time due to things like weather and aging, so be sure you keep in mind what your skin is like currently. The different skin types are: Normal skin is neither dry nor oily and is not prone to blemishes or skin sensitivity or irritation. Oily skin often looks shiny or greasy due to overactive oil glands in the face. This skin type is prone to blemishes and often has larger-appearing pores. Dry skin suffers from a lack of oil and moisture, often appearing flaky with visible lines and reddish patches of skin. Sensitive skin is commonly mistaken for dry skin because it also appears red and dry; however, irritation for sensitive skin types is caused by a particular ingredient in a skin care product and not a lack of oil production. Combination skin is skin that has patches of oily areas and other areas that are more dry or normal. Most often combination skin is oilier on the forehead, nose, and chin and normal to dry on the rest of the face. Now that you know what type of skin you have on your face, you want to purchase products with ingredients that are best suited for your skin needs. Certain ingredients are scientifically proven to help specific skin needs, so finding products that contain these will help maximize the benefits of the lotion. Some ingredients that are great for each skin type are: Normal skin: Look for cream-based moisturizers that contain vitamin C to help manage antioxidant damage. Avoid gels which will be too drying or thicker ointment creams that will be too heavy. Oily skin: Use a lightweight, water-based gel formula, which absorb faster than other lotions. Look for ones containing zinc oxide, aloe barbadensis gel, or seaweed extract. Avoid products that contain alcohol and petrolatum. Dry skin: Try thicker, cream-based lotions or heavy-duty ointments to help provide a thicker layer of protection from the elements. Look for ingredients like jojoba oil, sunflower seed oil, or rosehip seed oil. Avoid products that contain alcohol, which it too drying for dry skin. Sensitive skin: Look for products that contain soothing ingredients like Echinacea, hyaluronic acid, and cucumber extract. Avoid products that contain chemicals, dyes, or perfumes. Combination skin: Look for oil-free formulas containing panthenol, zinc oxide, and lycopene. These will help balance out the areas that are oily while providing moisture to areas that are dry. After applying lotion to your face and neck, wait about 5 minutes before you put on your shirt, apply any makeup, or get into bed. You want to give the lotion time to sink in before doing anything that can disturb the hydrating seal the lotion creates on the upper layers of the skin. Applying makeup too soon can cause the cosmetic products to seep into your pores along with the lotion and clog your pores or appear streaky. If you get dressed too soon or lay your face down on a pillow, the cloth will absorb the lotion instead of the skin, and you won't get the maximum benefits from the lotion.

Summary: Figure out what type of face skin you have. Purchase products with great ingredients for your skin type. Let your lotion sink in.

When you want to include a citation at the end of a sentence clause, you have to put the citation information between the last word in the clause and the punctuation that follows. To begin creating this citation, place a left parenthesis here. For instance, if you wanted to begin a citation for a sentence on water levels in North Texas, you would write: Water levels are at an all-time low in North Texas ( You don't need to use the author's first name when citing in APA; just the last name will do. If the article doesn't have an author, use a shortened form of the title. For example, if you wanted to cite an author named Jean, your sentence at this stage would look like this: Water levels are at an all-time low in North Texas (Jean To shorten an article's title, simply write the beginning words of the title up to the first noun. For example, you can shorten "A Particularly Fascinating Story in a Greenwich Village Bar" to "A Particularly Fascinating Story". If the author's name is included in the text of the sentence, then your parenthetical citation should not include the author's name. This should be the publication date for the original publication. For instance, if you're citing a PDF of an academic article, you should write the year that the article was published and not the year that the PDF itself was created.For example: Your example sentence should now read: Water levels are at an all-time low in North Texas (Jean, 2006 If the work has no publication date, use "n.d." in place of the year. If you're writing a direct quotation or if you're referencing information that comes from a specific page of the publication, then you need to include the number for that page. Place a comma after the year, followed by "p." and the number for the page. If your example sentence included a direct quotation, it would read: Water levels are "at an all-time low" in North Texas (Jean, 2006, p. 36 Add a right parenthesis after the page number and before the punctuation. If this is the end of the sentence, put a period after the right parenthesis. Your completed citation should read: Water levels are at an all-time low in North Texas (Jean, 2006, p. 36).
Summary: Open a parenthesis at the end of the clause. Write the author's last name after the parenthesis. Place a comma after the author's name and write the publication year. Add the page number if you're directly quoting a part of the publication. Close the parenthesis and add appropriate punctuation to complete the citation.
