I usually just slap some Curel lotion on after I get out of the shower. One of my girlfriends got me some fancy schmancy moisturizer a while ago but it was like $70 for a teeny jar and I could only bring myself to spend that kinda money on myself once. So, what's good? What's worth the money? What is a waste of money? (And if you say "Curel", that's okay. lol.)

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I've always had crummy skin and started going to a dermatologist when I was in high school which was eons ago. Right now I'm using Murad products.

Oh and if I remember Loreal somethingorotheraging stuff for my neck. I like Sefora because the salesperson isn't typically tied into one brand and so far they haven't been too pushy I also love it when they have an expert on shows like The View that show you which products you can buy at the grocery/drug store that are just as good as the fancy stuff. OK, now I sound like a frou frou but I'm seriously not. Just sayin having crummy skin takes time

Not only a frou frou but can't spell either > I blame it on the coffee maker that just decided to drip all the coffee to the side of the pot rather IN the pot. No coffee and a mess to boot.

Two Christmases ago, a coworker of Mr. Alice's who is an Arbonne consultant talked him into purchasing the NutriMinC RE9 (Anti-Aging) kit for me. This stuff ain't cheap (Mr. Alice was momentarily shocked when I went to re-order... I promptly explained to him, "What did you think? I was going to use up the products you gave me as a gift and then stop using the stuff?? DUH!" Heh heh heh)... that's what Mr. Alice gets for consulting his coworkers re: gifts for me. *LOL* I love the stuff, even though it forced me into a morning regimen I never thought I'd have time for. My skin feels better than ever... I can only imagine how great it would be if I started taking my makeup off at night. *LOL* (I have to admit, though... on weekends that we're not going anywhere special, I wash do my Arbonne routine on Saturday and Sunday mornings and don't put on any makeup, so it does give my skin a healthy break. ;-)

Originally Posted By Tinkeroon I've always had VERY oily skin and never needed any moisturizers but since hitting my 50's(gulp)and developing rosacea I now use Cetaphil in the morning and at night before bed. It's light and made for sensitive skin and does a great job. I usually get it at WalMart.

Originally Posted By MissCandice I put on Ponds around my eyes and my forehead in the morning. I try to wash of my eyeliner before bed but mostly forget.

Maybe my face is too pudgy to show my wrinkles?
