Can I use lotion instead of a moisturizer

No. Since most lotions do not offer long lasting hydration and contain fragrances and preservatives that could irritate skin, it is recommended to use a moisturizer instead. Opt for a moisturizer for sensitive skin like Biotherm's Life Plankton Sensitive Balm. Choose a face moisturizer made for your skin type instead of a lotion that will not give you the benefits you want. If you want to even out skin tone, a tinted moisturizer is key. If you are looking for light moisture during those humid summer months, pick a gel moisturizer with a lightweight formula.

How to choose the right moisturizer for your skin

All face moisturizers focus on different skin concerns whether it be a face moisturizer for combination (i.e., skin that deals with both dry and oily skin areas) or a moisturizer for dry skin that contains moisturizing ingredients to prevent dry patches on the face. A face serum like Aquasource Aura Concentrate will also better hydrate dry skin and extremely dry skin types. A moisturizer for sensitive skin that is free of fragrances will prevent irritation. Gel moisturizers are perfect in more humid conditions while a tinted moisturizer like Biotherm's Aquasource BB Cream will help cover blemishes.
