Many Body Lotions Shouldn’t Go on Your Face. But This One Works for Both.
“This moisturizer has an airy texture, but the formula is still deeply hydrating. Wong considered this product a “happy medium” for face and body use, both in terms of how easily it spreads and how moisturizing it is. After going through one full tub of this cream myself, I have to agree. It disappears into my skin quickly, and it leaves the surface feeling soft yet not oily, like many other body lotions (and even super-thick face moisturizers) do.”

Whether they’re patrolling a white-sand beach or keeping watch over a public pool, lifeguards are constantly on the lookout for danger. But they’re not just scanning the water for signs of trouble — they’re keeping an eye on the sun overhead, too.

Blemish treatments that double as color correctors, cheek tints blended with skin-brightening niacinamide, bronzers infused with peptides: Skin-care-and-makeup hybrids are so hot right now.

Although cosmetics that purport to protect as well as prettify your complexion seem great, we don’t recommend forgoing regular sunscreen and relying only on SPF makeup to keep you covered.

The American Academy of Dermatology doesn’t recommend it, either. As AAD president Susan Taylor, MD, told us in an email, “Some moisturizers and makeup products have SPF, which is beneficial, but if you’re spending time outside, you need to use a separate, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply sunscreen about every two hours.”

Yes, makeup with SPF provides protection from UVA and UVB rays. But does it provide enough that can be easily applied and reapplied as needed? Probably not.

Can You Use Face Wash to Remove Eye Makeup? We Asked the Experts.

Of course, you can sometimes remove eye makeup with face cleanser or soap. But just because you can, that doesn’t mean you always should. In fact, the dermatologists and ophthalmologist I spoke with agreed: Not all face cleansers are safe for your eyes, and even fewer should do double duty as makeup remover. Here’s why.

The skin around the eyes is much different from the skin on the rest of the face. In fact, dermatologist Lauren Moy said, the skin around the eyes is the “thinnest skin on the face and body” and has fewer oil glands, so it’s more prone to dryness, sensitivity, and damage. That’s why using certain face cleansers on the skin around the eyes may be less than ideal.

The most obvious cleansers to avoid using around your eyes are those with active ingredients, such as cleansers containing AHAs and BHAs (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and the like) that are meant to exfoliate skin. Other physical exfoliating cleansers contain beads to buff the skin, and those can get into the eye and potentially scratch the cornea, said dermatologist Brendan Camp. Some face cleansers made for acne-prone skin also contain benzoyl peroxide, which can irritate the eyes and the skin around the eyes. Even vitamin C can irritate the eyes, said Moy.

The 8 Best Facial Cleansers. It’s not so hard to find a good-enough facial cleanser that removes dirt, grime, sweat, excess oil, makeup, sunscreen, and other residual skin-care products. It’s significantly trickier, though, to discover a cleanser that does all that without leaving skin feeling tight, touchy, sensitive, stripped, and generally shrink-wrapped. And it’s even more challenging to find one that does all of the above with an element of delight and self-care.

Cleansing is a key step for skin care. We lathered, rinsed, and repeated (and repeated!) our way through 35 contenders to find these eight overachieving picks.
