Every beauty snob worth her NARS eyeliner knows that your beauty routine HAS to start with a good moisturizer. It’s always a bonus when that moisturizer has a built in SPF to protect you. We recommend Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15. It’s light so you don’t feel like you’re slathering your face in Crisco. And while you shouldn’t rely on the SPF for your sole protection from the sun, it’s an added bonus for days when you forget the sunscreen. It also comes in bottles as small as 2.5oz so you can drop one in your bag and re-moisturize throughout the day. Kiehl’s might be the most obvious choice for your moisturizer, but there’s a reason for that, it’s also the best. Avaliable at Kiehls.com for $16.50.
I used the Kiehl’s face moisturizer and enjoyed it for a year or two but I prefer other face moisturizers now. It was good but I felt it didn’t do anything special. I do love their body lotion – Creme de Corps and their Papaya Pineapple face scrub. And their lip balm is the best.
