CPW: Skin Care Regime

I'm curious... do you have a skin care regime? If so, what is it? I'm looking for some new products to help with my skin redness...

***ETA - I meant to have a No, and SS, but I hit enter... that's what I get for giving up caffeine... things aren't working... Rather than cluttering up the board, feel free to still give me your feedback.  Thanks!

    I don't really use much, but I do use coconut oil occasionally, especially in the winter.

    I started using LUSH cleanser and moisturizer in May. My family has already commented on how much better my skin looks - they even had me go pick up some for their skin types. You have to watch the different brands though as sometimes they have a weird price jump on a product because of ingredients (i.e. the brand I mentioned is a good cost since you don't use as much but their mature skin moisturizer is $30 more than the others bc of free trade ingredients).
    Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.

    @Menrandes I'm the same way. I basically wash my face with coconut oil, and it's been a lot better for me than using normal soap.

    I use Honest wash for my face. I like that it is tear-free and I can get all my eye makeup off. I use coconut oil after every time I wash my face, morning and night. That's it! I've always had pretty clear skin but I seriously never get zits anymore after using this. I also have just a little bit of redness on my cheeks and I feel like this helps a lot. You know those bumps some people get on the backs of their arms? Well coconut oil got rid of them completely.

    I'll have to try this on DH. It's called keratosis pilaris! :)

    I like Philosophy products. I wash with Purity and use Hope in a Jar moisturizer. I'm very guilty of not washing my makeup off every night though....

    I'm curious about the coconut oil!  How do you use it?  Just slather it on?  Which brand?

    I use makeup remover wipes at night, body wash in the morning and good old Oil of Olay with spf moisturizer before make up.
    I was on drugs and seeing a dermatologist for 12 before but the last five years finally to a point of only one or two zits a month after being a severe case.
