Swanky skincare... - Page 3

The best moisturizer I've found is called "Moisturel." You get it at the regular ol' drugstore, but it can be hard to find. (Both to find a store that carries it, and to find it on the shelf because it's not part of a larger product line and thus has a very small shelfprint.) I have tried all kinds of fancy, expensive, good for sensitive and/or breakout-prone skin moisturizer and it all makes my face erupt. Moisturel appears to actually moisturize, doesn't inflame my skin, and disappears into my skin (doesn't sit all greasy on the surface.)

Oh, dsnylndmom!! I'm dying! And Not Afraid, you deserved that mojo bigtime! You had me on the FLOOR!! You made my night! LMAO!!

Now I'm feeling so guilty!

My biggest weakness is anything that promises me healthy looking & clear skin! Maybe I'm the skincare industry's biggest tool. A sucker swathed in Creme la Mer, or Ariel joy juice (ACK). I'm always afraid people will think I'm insane (which I am, but I'd rather be thought so for non-monetary reasons.)

Anyhoo, I hear you ladies on the subject of problem skin. I have oily, greasy, dry, combination, sensitive break-outty skin. And I've found these following products I use work best for blemishes!

Damn those Breakouts!
*Mario Badescu Drying Lotion~ I slip into bed with a face covered in pink polka dots. But By George, it works!
*Mario Badescu Drying Cream~ It camoflauges & heals! Good stuff!
*Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion~ For those blemishes that resemble the Matterhorn. If the Matterhorn was beet red & unsightly. YUCK. Thank you, menses, for giving me the Matterhorn Jr. on my chin. And cheek.

*Kiehl's Blue Herbal Spot Treatment~ It's clear & comes in a purse-friendly tube!

A fantastic cleanser is Fresh's Umbrian Clay! A little pricey, but I use it as a spot treatment, mask & cleanser, so I totally get my $'s worth! The multi tasking treatment.

And for wrinkles? I can't live without Freeze 24/7! This, too, is a bit steep at $100 an ounce, but WORTH EVERY CENT. It freezes my wrinkles & crinkles. Abracabotox! Brilliant!

Damn! I'm letting spending secrets out again.

Please forgive me. I promise I'll share.

And my skin's best friend is Neutrogena. The best stuff can be found in the Drugstore. Neutrogena's Light Night Cream is just as necessary to a good night's sleep as my pillow.
