Question 1

how do i choose a proper moisturizer?

Accepted Answer

Moisturizer : It's really your preference. Most of them are made from similar ingredients. If you have sensitive skin, look for fragrance free, dye free. I like Vaseline Intensive Care Creamy, or The Body Shop 'butters'.  Also, I answered your other question, and want to make sure you understand how worried I am.

Question 2

what is the most effective moisturizer?

Accepted Answer

MOISTURIZERS: WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT. 
WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU MAY BE BAD FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
NEW ONES SHOW UP ALL THE TIME.
THE LATEST ONE IS CALLED HYDRO-BOOST.
OVER-THE-COUNTER. 
(I HAVE NO FINANCIAL IN THIS!)

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Essential: Uv light is damaging to skin and undoubtedly a cause of skin cancers, so sun protection is always important.

Question 4

what should i look for or avoid in an spf moisturizer?

Accepted Answer

SPF 15: It is a good idea to look for an spf higher than 15, and the higher you can tolerate, the better the protection (the reason for tolerance is that the higher spf moisturizers often feel more greasy).
