The walgreens brand even contains beeswax which my jar of ponds did not!Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194581745497542348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349511229858929028.post-73252975657665201372011-02-02T15:44:07.345-08:002011-02-02T15:44:07.345-08:00Miss Amethyst--Proactive did a number on my skin a...Miss Amethyst--Proactive did a number on my skin as well; it took me quite awhile to figure out that harsh prodcuts only made my skin worse! Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask is a fave of mine that I use now and again--it's a special treat when the weather is warm.<br /><br />Brittany--sometimes the best products are found in the drugstore--it seems good ol' cold cream is loved by a lot of us retro gals!<br /><br />Betty--It really is a fab sunscreen, and not as expensive as some of the other options out there! <br /><br />Kate--your homemade cleanser sounds intriguing! Do you find that it removes makeup well?Jitterbugdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659563812074455023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349511229858929028.post-61712651090231132992011-02-02T15:37:47.330-08:002011-02-02T15:37:47.330-08:00Dear Amanda, thank you so much for such in-depth d...Dear Amanda, thank you so much for such in-depth discussion about your face care routine! I will have to try those products as well. <br />My skin does not like physical abrasives - it gets irritated rather easily. In fact, recently I was diagnosed with rosecea...so annoying! But sometimes, I still use cold cream and wash cloth to exfoliate. If I don't work it on my skin to harshly it feels ok. <br />But usually, in the morning I use CeraVe hydrating cleanser - it is very mild and soothing and can be found at CVS or Walgreens. Then I follow with Cetaphil moisturizing cream. At night I wash my foundation off and clean with Aveeno Ultra-Calming foaming cleanser and follow with Cetaphil moisturizing cream. I swear by this potion. It is very rich and soothing cream for my dry, irritable, finicky skin. It has no fragrance and comes in a big tub, which lasts and lasts...<br />So, that's it.<br />I want to try the sunscreen you use as well. I know what you mean how those physical sunscreens feel and look horrible under the makeup. I haven't found the one that I like yet.<br />In the spring,summer and fall, I use UV blocking umbrella to completely protect my skin from the harsh sun in San Jose, California and love it so much. For the last two years I have been able to completely avoid any pesky tan lines! Moreover,now I can't even believe how I ever could put my poor skin under this sun so unprotected by anything, not even by a sunscreen and hike for miles! yuck! :)<br /><br />MariaThe Black Opalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03937092748233908785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349511229858929028.post-78712823358239142172011-02-01T15:28:23.965-08:002011-02-01T15:28:23.965-08:00I tried a few different cold creams (even one I ma...I tried a few different cold creams (even one I made myself) but none of them work with my skin. I have a slight chemical sensitivity so I can't use most store bought cleansers either. After trying various natural cleansers, I have discovered making a baking soda paste (and some lavender oil and peppermint oil) works the best. It cleans my face surprisingly well without drying it out.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870435785776540136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349511229858929028.post-27078002526580610352011-01-31T22:41:55.272-08:002011-01-31T22:41:55.272-08:00Thank you that sunscreen looks awesome i have book...Thank you that sunscreen looks awesome i have bookmarked it for summertime ;-)<br />Lisa Freemont street has a all natural cold creme she gets from etsy which i wanna try my skin is very dry i only breakout from pms and that's typically 2 wee ones ...but so dry especially in winter!For The Love of Bettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687361551411036404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349511229858929028.post-33353721940339573452011-01-31T20:07:30.923-08:002011-01-31T20:07:30.923-08:00I have combination skin so I I use ponds cold crea...I have combination skin so I I use ponds cold cream on most of my face and clean and clear oil free cleanser for my chin (which is super oily and breaks out if I use cold cream on it). After that, I moisturize with aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer, which I can use on both dry and oily areas. You're right, finding the right products for your skin is such a pain but well worth trying a few to get it right! I'm so thankful that I found the ponds cold cream for my dry areas. I can't live without it!!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349511229858929028.post-86308744657107805652011-01-31T18:11:01.573-08:002011-01-31T18:11:01.573-08:00Great article!

I used pro active 5 years ago, it was too harsh for my skin so therefore it made me get rashes.:P Therefore I go organic with my products witch hazel, not to much dyes in the product. I use a lot of Queen Helene. I adore Ponds. I am going to try some of the products you mentioned! ThanksMiss Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03767399756102579482noreply@blogger.com
