Daily Moisturizer That Outperforms Average Creams

A NewBeauty staffer recently mentioned that her friend refuses to use moisturizer-doesn’t understand the point. We immediately provided her with a concise, bullet-pointed list of the benefits, which we expect will elicit an immediate change of heart. Once that bridge is crossed, the next step is to get her to graduate from a basic cream or lotion to one that goes beyond hydrating help.

We’re firm believers that a moisturizer shouldn’t just moisturize-you might as well get as many perks possible. One of our favorite fundamental-and-then-some daily formulas is Boost from YBF (which stands for Your Best Face). It offers your skin lots of advantages without intimidating the beauty neophyte.

In addition to quenching skin’s thirst, Boost keeps both blemishes and signs of aging at bay. Its scientifically sophisticated list of ingredients includes wrinkle-reducing Homeostatine, cell-correcting Renovage, skin-repairing (and curiously named) spin trap, uber-antioxidant Lipochroman-6, and some more familiar components like green tea, cucumber, caffeine, niacin, and vitamins B5 and E.

There’s no need to break out your old chemistry textbooks to justify using Boost. The way skin looks and feels as you make it part of your morning routine will speak volumes. And if anyone you know needs convincing in order to use more than just the simplest of moisturizers, one look at your clear, toned complexion should do the trick.
