Whether it’s a drug store or department store, there’s always a wide range of face moisturizers to choose from.  Yes, it can get very overwhelming, from the price ranges to the many ingredients touted in each brand.  Since I cannot volunteer myself to go shopping with each and everyone of you, I have a better idea! Here are three ingredients you should always, always, always avoid when shopping for a face moisturizer.

• Shea Butter – rich in fatty acids and vitamins like A, E and F; but, because it’s very thick, it’s better to use on the body and NOT the face.
• Lanolin Oil – prone to aggravating acne.
• Mineral Oil – creates a film on the skin which can trick your skin into thinking it’s actually hydrated. It’s also thick and clogs pores which may lead to breakouts.

Here are a few brands without these ingredients!

• Kiehl’s - Ultra Facial Moisturizer Moisturizer SPF 15
• Anthony Logistics – Oil Free Facial Lotion & w/SPF 15
• Lab Series – Instant Moisture Gel
• Jack Black – Double Duty Face moisturizer SPF 20
• Molton Brown – Ultra light Bai Ji Hydrator
• Dermalogica - Active Moist
