Facial Care

Daily facial cleansing depends on your your skin type and what works for you.  To keep your face looking youthful; you need to properly cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize.  For me; I follow a simple daily facial cleansing routine.  I cleanse and exfoliate daily and simultaneously, with a CVS Pharmacy brand - deep cleansing, exfoliating scrub which gives me that radiant glow. The oil free formula cleanses pores deep down while exfoliating skin, the gentle micro scrubbers soften skin and remove dirt, oil and makeup without over drying.  The cooling sensation gives my face that refreshing tingle that I need in the morning .   Exfoliating is extremely important since it removes dull, dry, dead skin…..they say the reason men's skin look more youthful than women is because they shave every day;  well women lets keep up and exfoliate every day :). I am no expert but apart from being blessed with great skin, this cleanser and exfoliator works miracles for me and I don't have to spend a lot on it. I have never had issues with pimples or acne….knock on wood :); but I see no reason to spend a ton on expensive cleansers, they do the same job, just avoid using bar soaps on your face.  After cleansing I moisturize with Olay total effects 7 in 1 anti-aging moisturizer and Vaseline Petroleum Jelly at nights and in the winter;  it gives my skin that nice moist glow and gets rid  of any dry patches that can develop with face powder.  Olay total effects used as a daily moisturizer helps you to achieve visibly younger looking skin and build skin's resilience toward the effects of aging.  It is fast absorbing, oil free and won't clog your pores.  It also comes with a touch of foundation if you like.  Simple straight forward and inexpensive.  At some point I think I will have to invest in some eye cream to minimize those fine lines and wrinkles but for now my Olay total effects and vaseline seem to be working for me.  Some may disagree but for me this is what works for my skin.
