As we age, our skin suffers from sun damage, collagen depletion, reduced elasticity, dullness and a host of other signs that we aren’t as young as we used to be. The cosmetic industry has developed a slew of products in the anti-aging category to help combat these issues in preventative ways. As a society we are evolving towards a more positive view of aging but that doesn’t mean we don’t want our skin to look and feel as good as possible, which is where a good tinted moisturizer comes into play.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer
Yes, another selection from Neutrogena. Like many anti-aging products, it is formulated with retinol, which targets fine lines and overall skin texture and dullness. We selected this one because it’s non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores making it a good choice for women who want anti-aging benefits but who also still experience hormonal acne breakouts. It also protects against sun damage with SPF 20.

It is thought to protect the skin’s surface while brightening the complexion and has skin-calming effects that reduce redness. It’s a mattifying mineral-based formula that will leave skin hydrated by not greasy.
