Re: What skin care products do you use?
Proactiv - to keep acne away
Oil of Olay Daily Moisturizer with SPF30 - I like this, not oily or greasy and has spf.
Facewash---waterever is on sale.
Face Cream--Clinique Moisture Surge --its fantastic. Not too heavy, but super moisturizing. Its expensive, but totally worth it.
Biore ice cleanser, astringent and exfoliator for my oily/breakoutey skin. It's worked the best of anything I've tried.
Aveda moisturizer. Works great.
Day: Cetaphil - face wash, Ahava - SPF 50 and moisturizer, Eminence Wild Plum Eye Cream
Night - Cetaphil to wash and Jan Marini bioglycolic
Ditto me - exactly.
AM - Jergen's Natural Glow Facial Moisturizer because I am a ghost and it really puts natural color in my face
- Bare Escentuals Under-Eye Lightening Cream because my allergies cause me get dark circles that make it appear as though I haven't slept. Ever.
PM - Cetaphil face wash and lotion because my skin is freakishly sensitive
Cleanser: Cetaphil
Moisturizer: Aveeno Oil free
Forgot to say why: My skin tends to be oily, and if I use products that are too harsh, it just strips my skin, and my skin produces more oil. I've found I'm better off using something gentle, especially in the winter. In the summer, I will use a slightly stronger cleaner, typically Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash.
Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash -- it's natural and helps control my acne
Earth Science Almond-Aloe Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 -- it protects my skin from the sun and is paraben-free
In the past, I've used Murad skin cleanser and moisturizer because it was gentle but also provided very good moisture without freaking out the oily parts of my skin.
HOWEVER, my skin has gone through, like, a mid-life crisis all on its own here and now I use nothing. Seriously. I wash it with water and a baby wash cloth (soft and doesn't irritate) and for the past three months, I use a prescription sodium sulfacetamide (topical acne gel). If my face gets really, really dry - I'll use Creme de la Mer for a day or two for moisturizer. (Yes, it's crazy-expensive, don't judge. It works.) And that's it! Ridiculously easy!
I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub every other day to exfoliate. When I don't exfoliate, I use Neutrogena face wash.
I use Neutrogena moisturizer on my face every morning. The untinted spf 15 kind. I can really tell when I don't use it.
I use AcneFree Terminator on problem spots every morning. I apply it at night too if something popped up or got worse during the day. If I have really bad issues, I use a Neutrogena face mask only on problem spots all night. If I'm not at home to use the mask, I use toothpaste.
I used to use Clean & Clear Astringent but it didn't make a difference if I used it or not, so I quit spending the money on it. Occasionally I want an extra clean face so I use rubbing alcohol and then apply a little moisturizer.
I have this weird oily and dry stuff going on with my face. It's always both, but in the winter months it's more dry and the summer months it's more oily. My face routine every day pretty much keeps my issues under control year round.
I love the Clinique skin care system. I am currently using a gentle cetaphil face wash, followed by Clinique's step 2 clarifying lotion, Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel moisturizer.
I have dry skin, so I use mary kay moisturizer. Its the only one I've found that I dont have an allergic reaction too. Its a little pricey, but a little goes a long way.
I used to just wash my face with warm water and a wash cloth. But post m/c I all the sudden have acne (I never did before, not even in high school). So I am using clean and clear morning burst- Im not conviced it works, but it doesnt dry out my skin, and I dont have an allergic reaction to it. So its better then nothing.

Face wash: O2CH Face Exfoliator. This is the best stuff I have ever used! I cannot live with out it.
Moisturizer: Nivea. My skin is relatively dry, so this is the only thing that keeps it moisturized but not too oily.
I also use Bare Escentuals makeup primer underneath my foundation and I also love this stuff.
My Married Bio
Love, marriage and a baby carriage
Neutrogena orange bar soap- actually does what it says and rinses completely off
jojoba oil- nothing else seems to get rid of the flakiness
Green Cream (retinol)- actually got rid of my breakouts
Sephora pressed mineral powder- matches my color very well
Aveeno face wash and moisturizer. It's awesome!
I use the Mary Kay Timewise stuff. The 3-in-1 facewash, exfoliating scrub and serum, oil free moisturizing gel stuff (it's purple, not sure of the name) then a tinted SPF15 moisturizer.
I like it a lot but I'll switch when I run out because I won't get the discount.
I've used Philosophy skin care products in the past and they're freaking amazing. Highly recommend.
Cleaner, toner and moisturizer are all Aveda's hypoallergenic line. I have super sensitive skin.
I've started using Garnier Skin Renew-Daily Regenerating Serum before I put my moisturizer on. Works really well. I'm uber-paranoid about wrinkles and lines.
Sometimes I don't wash my face at night because I need a little bit of oil on it to keep from breaking out. If I put make up on I use whatever soap I use on my body.
Moisturizer - Ponds Dry Skin cream. It makes my face feel velvety smooth and doesn't feel oily at all.
