Swanky skincare...

UvaGirl · 02-16-2005, 02:11 PM

It's time for me to buy some new skincare stuff. I'm reaching the end of most of my current products, and I'm thinking I might like to try some new stuff. I need products that will help my slightly oily and occassionally acne-prone skin, without freaking it out too much (it's slightly sensitive as well). any recommendations would be most welcome

I realize how bad I am with skincare when I approach these threads!

Currently, I use Oil of Olay Age Defying Daily Renewal Cleanser, Avon Anew Deep Crease Concentrate with Bo-Hylurox and Avon Anew Clinical 2 Step Facial Peel, and Oil of Olay Total Effects 7 Signs Serum.

I decided I was worried abour wrinkles, because I have two. I just fly by the seat of my pants here. I wish someone would give me a solution I could use for the next 10 years. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I have decent genes to start with so I don't really have "issues" to combat - other than being mid 40's - and even then, I am told I don't look it enough to actually believe it.

I've been using Mary Kay stuff lately, and I LOVE it.

I used Mary Kay stuff a few years back and it was pretty good.

Edit: I should say what I'm currently using, I guess. Origins Get Down cleanser, Origins Toner, various moisturisers, depending on my mood (mostly oil free - Origins - whatasurprise!

, Lancome and Urban Decay), Origins eye stuff. I've got a couple of Origins scrubs/masks too.

I love Philosophy's Purity cleanser and I SWEAR by their microdermabrasion (once a week treatment)The Great One. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the affect. I'm on the lookout for a moisturizer that I love so far nothing. I have oily acne prone skin too it sucks.

I'm almost out of cleanser, I want to try Benefit's Zapparella line when I'm out. I use the Boo Boo Zapp and that stuff is AWESOME!! Another one I swear by!(and those are the ONLY two products that I swear by

) I'm hoping that their cleanser and concealer is as good. Zapparella Line

Let me know if you find a great moisturizer.

Ooh! Moisturizer!! I'm obsessed with moisturizing!

We just splurged and ordered two jars of Creme La Mer! I also purchased their eye balm & face serum. Me + the 30's = desperation moisturization!

My Grandma & I decided to give it a try!! I've been wanting to try this miracle cream for ages now. I sure hope we love it and it's every bit as amazing as I've heard.

Here's hopin'! Cross them snappin' fingers! -->

Oooh! I was really hoping someone here used CDLM! We got a Creme de la Mer counter here a couple of years back, but I haven't purchased anything yet. It's such a big investment. But I hear their stuff is amazing. It's kind of legendary.

Ally, please post a review when you've tried it - I'm dying to know!

Grrrrr. Today the skin around my eyes is all puffy and kind of sensitive and itchy. I really need something for it. Not to mention that my skin is all excited and hormonal ~ it's the only bit of me I don't like feeling 17!

Anyone who has seen MY skin knows I should offer no skincare advice. Obviously am in NEED of advice. Proactiv is weird cause it'll work...work really well...then it stops working. Then it works again. Then...not.

Bah. BAH!!!! I would skin all of my friends alive for clear, perfect skin. I'd skin you ALL!

Heh.

I hear love beautifies. BAH!
