Take a gander at any drugstore or department store and you'll quickly be overwhelmed by the number of hydrators available — from facial creams and neck lotions to hand and foot and beyond. But cosmetic dermatologist Jeanette M. Black, M.D., says all of the options make the process of keeping our skin healthy more complicated than it needs to be. More often than not, one for your body and one for your face will do just fine. "Some enjoy having separate creams formulated specifically for different areas but, in general, having a different moisturizer labeled for different body parts is not necessary and it is smart to find one great moisturizer that works well for you in many places," she says.

Expensive beauty products

Sarkar recommends applying the same logic to super-luxe beauty products that promise different results than affordable varieties. "It can mean more cosmetically elegant or prettier packaging, but if you're looking for healthy skin, there are plenty of great quality products that don't come with big price tags. The trick is finding the products that work for you," she says.
