Various Skin Care Questions
Hello! I'm a bit of a skin-care newbie, so I'm hoping you can help me with a few questions. First things first, my skin is normal/combination and is doesn't have any glaring problems except for a tiny bit of rosacea and a slightly oily T-Zone. Up until last year, I had NO skin care regimen and the only time I washed my face was in the shower ;)...
At the moment, I use a variety of products: Clairins Clensing Milk (here) and Toning Lotion (here), and I use Clinque's Moisture Surge (here) which is the only gel-based moisturizer I've found that I like. My supply is running out, though, and I'm thinking about switching, so I was wondering what skin care products you use - especially if you do not wear any makeup.
I was looking at the Philosophy Purity line (although I noticed they don't sell a toner). I was also considering Origins. I had a free demo from some Kate Somerville products (since I was told the goat milk cream can help with rosacea), but I think they might be a bit pricey for me.
Also, what skin care products do you use regularly? Right now, I use a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer every day, once a day and only at night, with the occasional mask thrown in when I'm feeling grimey. Is it necessary to exfoliate or use a serum? At times, it just feels like extra products. Also, do I really need to cleanse/moisturize 2x a day?
Thanks for all your help.
