Use Cetaphil. It is a natural cleanser with built in moisturizers.

This is what I've been using for the last 12 years. They should hire me for a commercial I think!

The vitamins are something they recently added to the lotion. It really is light and keeps the moisture in your skin. The SPF is the most important component.

you too! I've been using it that long as well, with the occasional gaps when I get an awesome sample of something else or a gift of something else. I even remember when the bottle was a little different.

as for the SPF, I looked for a LONG time to find something that had an SPF but that was light and not greasy. I put this on every morning after I shave before I leave the house so I'm protected every day, all day...hence the fabulous skin.

High five! I read about this in some beauty magazine so I was lucky and didn't try a bunch of junk before I found it.

My Nana, at 75, still has beautiful skin. She uses cold cream every night!

So I guess the key is keep that skin moisturized at night and sun safe during the day.

The one thing I don't like about my skin is the broken capillaries. It runs in my family. I would love to have them taken care of. I need a derma-fund!

Fortunately a little foundation takes care of it. I bought that foundation you use, Deanna, and I love it. Which means it will be discontinued soon. That is fine though cuz I like to try new products anyway.

I used to use a lovely Chanel gel-cream but I decided I cannot afford getting a 60 euros cream(approximately 70 USD) every two months.
I decided to go for the Drugstore, like Paula said.
I bought La Roche-Posay, I don't know if it exists in the US. It's supposed to be ok, however I do miss my Chanel thingy.

I think I'll try the Oil of Olay products first - I won't be too upset if I don't like it & want to ditch it since it's pretty cheap.

My name is Bruce and I'm a Kiehl's addict.
The first step is admitting it.

There are two moisturizers that I use. Kiehl's most popular one is the Ultra Facial Moisturizer. Contains Vitamins C & E as well as squalane. It's lightweight and fabulous for combination skin. They also make this exact product with a sunscreen. I use this product in the fall and winter. A 4.2 oz bottle retails for $21.50 and an 8 oz bottle is $33.00.

The other moisturizer that I swear by is their Sodium PCA Oil-Free Moisturizer. I have turned many of my friends on to this product because it gives your skin moisture without a trace of oiliness. It contains pathenol as well as the sodium PCA which is a high performance humectant. I use this all spring and summer, both in morning and before bed. A bottle will last me a good 2 - 3 months. And you cant beat the price -- $15.50!!

Kiehl's products are high end without the high end dollar. They dont spend a penny on advertising so their sales are basically word of mouth. They do not do any testing on animals (which is important to me).
Their body wash, scrubs (body and facial), shaving cream, eye creams (like Livia, I use the creamy avacado and the abysinth creams), mask's and body lotion (their Creme De Corps gives Loccitane's hand cream a run for it's money) are all items I stock in my bathroom at all points.
I've been a Kiehl's fanatic for about ten years and I'm not bragging when I say that my skin looks fantastic!
