What do you use for skin care?

i do take care of my skin, but i dont pay an arm nor a leg. i tend to shop at the big box stores and use their brands. they seem to work just as well on my skin and cost about half of the price of big name brands...

my favorite is plain old baking soda. Yep, baking soda. i use it to wash my face. just wet your face and a washcloth. sprinkle a little baking soda onto the cloth and wash your face GENTLY GENTLY. It is a natural exfoliant and leaves you sking soft, smooth and also helps balance its pH levels. i got the idea from an interview with Queen latifa (and we all know she has gorgeous skin). The first time i tried it I scrubbed too hard and felt like I had skinned myself lol. So be very gentle. Try it, i think you'll like the results.

I use baking soda, too, but if you have dry skin, use olive oil afterwards. It just takes a half teaspoon or so. Smooth it on your face, wait a minute, then blot off the excess. Olive oil is supposed to be close to our own skin oils.

Sure! There are some good products in different brands depending what you are looking for. If you are looking for a night moisturizer or an anti-aging moisturizer, Olay Total Effects is really nice and it's not expensive at all. Also, you could do facial masks (you don't need to buy those commercial ones if you don't have the money) at home and here is the collection of recipes:

You can make your facial cleanser and toner too!

I like all of the skin care products I have tried from Yves rocher. There an all natural product line and they have a website with some really great deals. Plus they give out free products with your order all the time.

Also if you have a gold points account you can earn points with them.

St. Ives has a great line of products, cleansers, moisturizers, body lotions, face scrubs, masques, eveything, all about $5 each. For extra moisture and wrinkle protection you can use pure vitamin E skin oil, I have bought that at Walmart for $4. Anything with cocoa or shea butteris the a great body moisturezer. Fruit if the Earth an Vaseline brand both make good affordable cocoa butter body lotions. Even Palmer's isn't that pricey and it's REALLY good. For acne invest in tea tree oil, it cost alot at first, like #15 for a small bottle, but that bottle will last a long long time if you use a Q-tip to apply it so you aren't wasting alot.
