facial cleanser recommendations

[patty]

hi friends......i need recommendations for a good cleanser for my combination skin  i have a few smile lines around my big fat mouth  and a couple at the corners of my eyes    any suggestions 

[saucyaussies]

me too...now that I'm thirty I need to start watchign these things.  I hear that now is the tiem I need to start thinking about osteoporosis too...guess I need to start with the vitamins and firming cream.

...now that I'm thirty  

blah, blah, double blah
just kidding friend. now is  the best time to take care of everything!  i`m blessed with pretty good genes as far as aging goes. i don`t have dry skin, it is normal but on the oily side of normal so i can hide my 41 years pretty good. if anything gives away my age it`s my hands. hope you like brocolli, it`s one of the best sources of calcium around

blech, not really, it gives me the burps.  I'll stick with a calc supplement and milk iwth my cookies.

I love, love love all Clinique products.  They can be pricey but I am addicted.  I use the Super Defense Triple Action (with spf 25) moisturizer and All About Eyes eye cream daily and once or twice a week I'll use their Repairwear Intensive Night Cream.  I have the somewhat fair skin so I have to be really careful and try to minimize the damage that I did in my late teens and early twenties.....I would bake my self in the sun and tanning beds. Did you ever hear the term "tanorexic"  I was not quite that bad...but almost.  No more though...I'm a now sunscreen fanatic.

My problem is most of the creams that I get make me break out...and they're expensive!  Haven't tried clinique, maybe will have to.  I don't do sun, I burn.  No worries of skin cancer here, I'm so white I'm translucent!

I've been so afraid to jump into this thread.....
I tried buying a skin cleanser a couple years ago... but I too have combination skin... and it's even worse in the winter time.
You get the really dry skin in the winter time, plus times where you end up with a couple breakouts. (very rarely)
So I bought some stuff from Avon, as they have their new skin care lines... and the first time I used it, you would think it was going to rip the skin off my face, it dried out so bad!
My daughter laughed at me and gave me this.. "Oh Mom, what were you thinking using skin cleanser! That was not for you! You are old!! That's for girls my age" and she took it away from me and used it herself! LOL
So there you have it, my experience with skin cleansers!

I use soap and water (Ivory..99.99% Pure). Works for me.
Oh, and I don't use shaving cream when I shave my face...just soap and water,
and I shave in the shower..the nice hot steamy condition seems to make shaving
more comfortable.
 and thats my secret..shhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone.
LOL!

LOL
Thanks Sav....

price doesn't really bother me. i'm trying to find a great cleanser that i don't mail order and i think i can get that at ulta 3....the candy store for women

love the stuff, although it is pricey its worth it. I love that it does feel heavy
and its great for any skin. I use the turn around cream regularly.

There cleansing system is great, I used back when I was in my twenties
for some skin problems.
