Is It Ok To Wear Moisturizer Overnight?

Hi Everyone,

I'm quite new to skin care and need a few tips.

Should I use moisturizer before bed? My skin is oily and I am fairly good about washing nightly but I love the way moisturizer feels but i don't want to clog my pores.

Is self-tanning cream just brown moisturizer? I don't quite get the concept.

The Lancome ladies recommended toner? Anyone have any product suggestions?

I took my first trip to the Macy's cosmetics floor. Lancome had a nice deal - spend $30 and get a bag of goodies (lipstick, blush, mascara, etc). A few people gave me funny looks but they were dressed so poorly that taking them seriously wasn't even on the table. The women at the counter were totally nice and threw in 3 extra lipsticks. It was also good because I could find concealer that matched my skin tone. Way better than standing there totally confused in the Wallgreen's wall o'cosmetics.

au revoir

If your worried about clogging your pours, buy a mousterizer that says "non-comedogenic" on it; that basically means "won't clog your pours." I believe Olay and Neutrogena have really good mousterizers for that; plus they usually have SPF 15 or 30 in them. Also, if your skin is naturally oily it won't hurt to mousterize overnight- you just might want to not do it in the morning then, otherwise it might get a little greasy, depending on the brand though.

Never used self-tanning cream; the stuff never looks right to me. However, I did use "tan in the bottle" once; I have naturally ivory skin, so I ended up looking like an oompa loompa for a week... Fun stuff. <_<

Don't know anything about Lancome either; I use pro-activ's toner and face wash and used to use Neutrogena's toner, which is awesome by the way.

Hi Anna,

Yes there are good moisturizers to put on before you go to bed. There are day cremes and night cremes. I look for moisturizers with peptides. And skin care products that contain hyaluronic acid which promotes collagen fiber formation. For exfoliating, I buy products with lactic acid and I only use exfoliating cleansers with beads (no grit). These clean out your pores gently. I use a product called Aziz, it has JoJoba beads and lactic and salicylic acid.

I haven't had much success with toners. My skin is too sensitive? The ones I've tried really irritated and left bright red splotches on my face for hours.

I'm not sure about wearing tanning creme as a moisturizer? No matter what though, cleanse your face of everything at night and then a good night moisturizing serum or creme should help. And I hope this helps :)

I like to use half a dozen products every night, but one of my staples is Olay night recovery moisturizing treatment. I use that for most of my face, plus an eye treatment, plus Shiseido products (as you say, from Macy's). I like Ponds for my neck and cleavage. But then I swim 90 minutes every day and the chlorine takes a terrible toll on my skin. This regimen works tho. Even tho I am 56 my skin is as soft and smooth as a baby's bottom.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me.

      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
