I just started using philosophy hope in a jar but the jury is still out. So far so good though. Maybe I should mix it up like gypsyfreak does....

I'm addicted to Kiss My Face Peaches N Cream. It smells just like peaches so it always makes me happy when I put it on.

Loccitane with 25% shea butter.... I really like it, its the second jar ive bought and its almost gone, and i have super dry skin and it works wonders... But would be interested in trying something else, maybe ill give the nars or shisheido a try?  I still havent tried philosophys hope in a jar and im a total philosophy addict, so maybe i should try that too.. hmm


I didn't realize everyone uses moisturizer at night too... i only put it on in the day... is that maybe why my skin is so dry?  Does it really help? whats the reasoning behind it?  And are u suppose to use a different one for day versus night?

nicoley - It's really important to do a complete skincare routine twice a day. Your treatment step though, only needs to be done once a day (preferably at night while your skin is repairing itself). As far as day and night moisturizers are considered it really depends on your skintype. I, myself use the same moisturizer morning and night. Also, some people say that you shouldn't use a moisturizer with spf at night, but that's not true!!! It's just a marketing ploy.

aclassicbeauty: Can you further explain what you mean by a complete skincare routine twice a day and a treatment step once a day?


And I have a very dry skintype with some redness.... Any recommendations on day and night moisturizers? And maybe skincare routine/treatment?

nicoley - this should be the order you use your skincare products:

1. Cleanser
2. Toner (make sure it's alcohol free!)
3. Treatment
4. Eye Cream (AM: under the eye only, PM: all over eye)
5. Facial Moisturizer

Note: Your skin changes, so in the summer you will not need as much moisture as you do in the winter!

I'm sending you a PM!

I use Clinique Superdefense moisturizer for day, and Creme de la Mer at night. I love them both for my dry skin.

I am using a gel moisturizer that my Facialist gave me for my oily skin.

However, I have a question--- I am on the look out for a really really light daytime moisturizer with SPF. I have found that they all tend to be heavier.

Does anyone use anything that is gel like or really light with SPF 15?

Day - Neutrogena Healthy Defense with spf 30. I used to use PTR but it cost too much so I had to switch, which is too bad because it really is the best.


Max Sheer Daily Defense Moisture Lotion - SPF 30


Evening - I hardly ever moisturize in the evening although I know I should. But when I do, I stick with free samples of stuff. I have a ton of Estee Lauder and Lancome "night repair" moisturizers (my granny always gets the gifts and gives them to me).

Murad's skin perfecting day creme or lotion. I have the creme and it's been great.
