Day Moisturizer
What Time Of Day To Use Moisturizer?

Is it better to be used first thing in the morning? Then it won't interfere with sun lotion?! Or I use it before going to bed? Then skin won't have a time to breathe! Shouldn't the skin get a time cleaned with nothing on it to be able to breathe?!
And I've really got to use moisturizer cuz I've got such a dry skin...!
Help please! :)
How much time should it be between using moisturizer&sun lotion?

Ideally, you should be moisturizing your skin twice a day.

In the morning, you need to use a moisturizer that has an SPF of at least 15. Using a sunscreen EVERY SINGLE DAY is the best thing you can do for your skin! You'll prevent a lot of premature aging if you do this.

At night, after cleansing your skin, you should apply a night cream. This is especially important if you have dry skin. Your night cream should be a little thicker than what you would use during the day. You don't have to spend a fortune - just find a cream that works well for you and doesn't make you breakout, if that's a problem for you (it is for me!)

Your skin doesn't really need time to "breathe", although if you use makeup during the day, it's really important to clean that stuff off - never go to bed with makeup on your face! Going barefaced during the day means leaving your skin exposed to the elements - not a good idea for dry skin (especially in the winter). Nighttime is your skin's time to rest and repair itself - it's most receptive to the benefits a good night cream has to offer.

Hope this helps.

Just Because Your Skin is Oily, Doesn't Mean it's Not Sensitive! If you have oily skin you've probably tried many different moisturizers looking for the treatment that keeps the oil at bay but doesn't make your skin feel like a cracked desert. Many expensive products are on the market but several of the most effective contain rather harsh substances like alpha hydroxyl acid (sometimes derived from fruits and sometimes not). But these powerful acids make your skin too sensitive for other types of facial treatments (such as waxing). How Clean is Too Clean - The Paradox of Skin Care Any skin professional will tell you that you must keep your skin cleansed. Then, in the same breath, they will warn you off of too much cleansing especially with harsh soaps or rough cleansers. You have to keep your skin clean otherwise the oil traps dirt and bacteria, creating conditions for potential blackheads and even cystic acne. But too much cleansing can strip all the good oils from your face and create dry flakiness. What's the answer?

Manuka Naturals Skin Creams - Manuka Honey & All Natural Moisturizers With natural skin creams using Manuka Honey your skin gets a double benefit in one product: the anti-microbial effect of certified Manuka Honey, which keeps your skin "clean" without drying soaps; as well as the soothing moisturizing of 100% natural, non-tacky skin creams rich with protein, vitamins and minerals. Now available in the US here's a recent testimonial from a woman with an oily T-zone who is using Active Manuka Honey Cream: I started to use the Manuka cream on my face at night. It's nice and non-oily. I have a very oily T-zone. It's not heavy and my skin looks great in the morning. Smoother and baby-like, plump but not bloated. I used it all up but then found your website to order more. I recommend the cream to my friends and family and now I have a website to refer them to! Melissa T., Santa Clara, CA Three Skin Creams for Three Different Uses Manuka Naturals offers three products with different levels of the most active Manuka Honey (certified at UMF 15+).

You'll find the right product for your needs among these three: Manuka Honey & Lavender Cream with 7.5% Active UMF® 15+ with rich emollients like lavender oil, almond milk and calendula oil makes this an excellent day moisturizer. Manuka Magic contains 10% Active UMF® 15+ and plantain extract, carrot oil, and chickweed extract. Completely scentless, this is a slightly creamier product and is excellent for day or night use. Active Manuka Honey Cream with 30% Active UMF® 15+ also has apricot kernel oil, sesame oil, and rose water in its formulation. All of our creams use wheat-germ derived tocopherol (vitamin E). And Manuka honey is an active antioxidant, absorbing free radicals which cause skin damage. Honey's therapeutic properties have been known for centuries. However, in the last ten years, honey from bees visiting the Manuka bush in New Zealand has been shown to contain an additional, unique antimicrobial component (methylglyoxal) that hastens relief while nourishing and soothing damaged or sensitive skin. About Manuka Naturals Skincare - Manuka Honey Skincare combines UMF15+ Active Manuka Honey with These products nourish and soothe sensitive skin and have been shown effective for burns, rashes, wounds, acne, eczema, shingles and other types of dermatitis and skin inflammations; the FDA has even approved a wound treatment using Manuka Honey.
