Make the Most of Your Moisturizer Beauty Tip: Pat your product in, don't rub

While perusing the makeup counters of Macy's in college, a Clinique saleswoman told us to never rub moisturizer into the face -- patting it on is the correct way to apply face lotion. Rubbing moisturizer in actually takes it off your skin and disperses it unevenly. Patting it on helps the skin soak it up more effectively.

For pregnant ladies or women who are trying to have a baby, plase be careful with retinoids! It can induce congenital malformations. Dont believe me? Google it. Better yet, look for medical journals concerning topical retinoids and pregnancy :-)

I never use primer, i find when I do that my make up feels heavy and easy to rub off my face if I bump it. But I do have oily skin too.

I liked the advice on the moisturizer. I have always rubbed it on my face instead of just dabbing it on. I will use this helpful tip and see if it is more effective.
