Moisturiser for a thirty something

[happyjo]

Hi all

Can any of you recommend a good, reasonably priced facial moisturiser. My skin is normal to dry. My face get really dry after washing and in winter it seems a little flaky.

I have tried allsorts... Clinique dramatically different Moisturising lotion, Nivea... they are good but have heard nasty things about their ingredients.

My favourite is Clarins... but at �30 for 50 ml... which I use in about 6 weeks, it is too expensive for me.

thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oil Of Olay Regenerist is inexpensive and VERY effective.

oooo my fave subject -I started moisturising at 14 and now dont have one wrinkle -not one at 49 (today lol).
I swear by Synergie -I have used that for years now.Oil of Olay is OK but I found it a bit watery.

Nivea/.Astral have tried but they are so obviously water based as when you put them on they just dont rub in right -well IMO.

I use clarins as well and find it hard to beat, but have also discovered a few cheaper ones that are well worth their money!

One is avon hydrofirming day and night cream:

and the other is nivea aqua sensation:

Which smells gorgeous as well! Both are rich enough to do their job but are mild and keep me moisturised all day

afternoon,i have dry skin ,somwtimes flaky but also oily in places (sort of combination skin) and ive been through loads of different moistuisers,but i have found the best is just pure simple cocoa butter,non greasy one.i use superdrug own brand as its better than palmers cocoa butter,i use it for everything,face,skin ,hair creme for stray bits....u name it! its also very good for any scars,acne scars ,stretchmarks etc.and superdrug do a concentrated version in a pot too.give it a try...its cheap and the best ive tried,better than all the expensive ones! good luck xx

happyjo - The best thing you can buy is e45 lotion or cream which you can thin down if needed with a little water xx

Thanks for all your answers...

Clarins is my favourite too... but alas I cant afford �25 every few weeks, especially near christmas.

I will take myself to boots and superdrug next weekend for on a moisturiser finder fest!!!

Cheers

Try Bush Essentials Mosituriser its great for dry chapped skin, also various skin conditions such as dermatius, psyrosis, excema etc. Its 100% natural and is prices at �8 for 50ml. I use this in conjunction with the scrub. Great products and great prices - a little really does go a long way.
