FACE
Gentle cleansing and soothing treatments are critical for allowing it to keep calm and carry on through to spring.

For wearing beneath your makeup, Sephora Instant Moisturizer ($24 at Sephora) is oil-free, paraben free, and a trustworthy go-to when you need a protective fortress for your face.
