It's plain to see that I purchase nearly every skin moisturizer that comes on the market. Just look at how many of them have to do with that dreaded word...AGE! Let me tell you, if a company promises that their product will take years off my skin...I'm sold! Now, I do have some limits. I refuse to spend oodles of dollars on these kinds of products that are sold at high-end department stores. I'm convinced that L'oreal, Olay and Fruit of the Earth work just as well as the expensive stuff. In fact, I'd have to say the the Fruit of the Earth Vitamin E Cream, which cost a whopping 5 bucks, is one of my favorites to slather on at night. Makes my skin feel so soft and supple! Of course, I never miss a day of putting on sunscreen, especially on my face. I don't want to deal with any more bouts of skin cancer, thank you very much!So, tell me, before I enroll myself in "Facial Moisturizer Intervention"...do you have an arsenal of these kinds of products in your bathroom, too? Care to share which one you simply can't live without? I might just have to try it myself! Nah...I'm going to try hard to nip my problem in the bud before it gets too out of hand! You should see the facial masks and exfoliating creams I've collected. Oh, and don't even get me started on my makeup, but we'll save THAT for another day!
P.S. Brittany is coming home tomorrow night!!! I haven't seen her since Jan. 13th, so I can hardly wait to give her a hug! I may not have the chance to blog, again, until after she leaves on Wed. I want to make the most of our time together! Also, I ask that you please pray for the daughter of one of my closest friends. She left on Wed. for a vacation in Okinawa, Japan. Her flight was diverted to Osaka and she is alright. Pray for her safety while she's over there and for her return home...and for comfort and peace for her mom, dad, and the rest of her family. Thank you so much!

I'm pretty simple when it comes to skin care. I use Noxema for washing and Oil of Olay moisturizer.
Have a great time with Brittany!
I'm an Oil of Olay girl. The original pink stuff that I first became aware of 1000 years ago on my best friends moms dresser. Can't believe they still make it.
Enjoy your time with your family.
Yay for daughters coming home!!!
Face creams are not my thing. I figure that eating healthy is the only recourse. God is gonna allow what He's gonna allow. Besides that, some of the stuff I've read has talked about how bad for our skin some of that stuff actually is!
Go au natural, I say! Naked face, I mean (aside from makeup, of course!!).
But its all paying off for you.. I say all the time & will say again - your skin is BEAUTIFUL!!! So you're doing SOMETHING right!
For me? I've never used moisturizer... & I'm seeing the effects now. My mom even said the other day, "Wow - your skin looks old" - why not just kick me in my bad knees? OUCH!
I'm happy for you that Brittany is coming home. Is she on spring break? Abby is.
I have used Aveeno forever. Every time I try something different, it irritates my skin. Drinking a LOT of water helps!
XO,

I have the same problem, April!! :)
Yep, I do. I bought the really expensive stuff (but because I hosted a party, got it for dirt cheap) and then I have the stuff I picked up off the shelf...not as good, but beggars can't be choosers!
I have an issue with hair care products....I have drawers full!!! And my favorites are still the ones I can get at Wal-Mart!!! :)
Enjoy your time with the girls!!!
I kicked the habit a few years back but think I should use something soon. I am dry dry dry!

I used to have drawers and drawers full of stuff too. Now I only use my Arbonne, but it is expensive, even after my discount (I sell it). It's the best thing for my dry, flaky, molting skin.
Have a great time with Brittany and praying for your friend's daughter.
I have to admit, I'm pretty simple. Dove soap and a bottle of Oil of Olay Moisturizer I've had for a few years, LOL. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, ya know?! Enjoy having Brittany home, I know you must be psyched, girl!
It takes awhile to find what works. I use Arbonne... its uber-expensive, but its the only thing Ii've found that regulates my special brand of sensitive, yet combination skin!
Enjoy your time with Brittany. Sending prayers!
You are just like me! I am obsessed with skin care products! As a matter of fact last year when I turned 32 I was freaked out about aging! You can read the blog post here:
http://myremodelednest.blogspot.com/2010/02/friday-fragments_19.html
Since then I have slowed down and have been using natural products! I love Burt's Bees products and I was thinking of actually blogging about it. I am starting a new anti-aging product in their line and I was going to do a before picture of my skin and an after a month later! You'll have to check that out! Thanks for sharing about your favorite products! I myself can't stop buying them and as a matter of fact, I bought a ton more at Target today! lol Anyway, I hope they actually work! Have a great weekend!

Hi just wanted to say thanks for the kind comments on my blog. Your family is beautiful. Maybe I should invest in some of those products and my face would be as clear as yours lol...
SO glad your girl is coming home for a visit... yay! THAT will take some years off of your skin and will reverse any gray hairs that dare come your way. :<) As for skin care, I've been using products from a company called DHC for probably 7-8 years now and I love them. BUT.... they are based in JAPAN... so I don't know what today's events might mean for the future of that company. :<( Here's a link to one of my favorite products: http://www.dhccare.com/DHC/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=300 and the other one that I can't live without is their Velvet Skin coat.
I'm starting to acquire a small collection myself! The wrinkles are starting to crop up as I move closer to 40.....
Enjoy your time with Brittany!
I love my Mary Kay cleanser, day solution, and moisturizer! I can't live without them! I hope you have a wonderful time with Brittany while she is home! Will be praying for your friend's daughter!
*LOL* This is a cute post April- it reminded me of that line in "Steel Magnolias" where I think it was Dolly Parton's character said something about "Time marches on... all over your face." *haha*
Will be praying for you friends' daughter- how scary.
Have fun with your girls this weekend!
Let me know what you deem to be the 'best' when you find it! This is the first year I'm beginning to see signs of 'aging' boo-hoo-hoo! ;)
Thanks for visiting me on my SITS day!
Oh, and we lived in Fayetteville for 5 years before moving to Minnesota this past fall! Go HOGS, indeed!
:)

I don't stick to any one thing for aging, although I really should!
Praying for Japan--so heart breaking....
April I use Oil of Olay sensitive skin lotion and I just adore it. It's lightweight and feels very soft.
Here's hoping the real estate market turns around for all.
Fourteen months is a long time. I hope you all sell very soon. Sigh.
Have a blessed Sunday.

I don't have a good routine... you are doing something right! Your skin is very youthful.
#1 is to stay out of excess sun! A little is OK but I stopped getting it on my face 30 years ago when I learned it caused premature wrinkling. SO GLAD I did. I take a good krill oil, too (Omega-3). I used to have a med cab full of moisturizers but now I study info by The Cosmetic's Cop (http://www.cosmeticscop.com/) because she tells you what works & what doesn't (so you don't blow your money on wrong stuff). She's kinda like Consumer's Reports for makeup, lotions and anti-aging stuff!
Stopping by from SITS. I collect skin care products, too. Sometimes I don't use them because I'm "saving" them for something. What am I saving them for? I have no idea. I've recently started to make a dent in the stash and choose my favorites.
I use E also but I sure don't pay five bucks...Girl it is at dollar general for 2 bucks down in middle ga...
that is basically what I use...I agree I have been sucked into many things claiming but not producing...still use Nozema and Olay...they have to be great cause they were here when I was a teenager and most things don't last but those do.
Yes still thinking about Japan and praying for those folks.
