    I use products from The Body Shop. Not outrageously expensive, they work great and they have an amazing business philosophy!

    Origins, Ole Henkrinken, Caudalie, Boscia. It might be more than other brands but well worth the money

    I too like Aveeno in the winter when my skin is dry but in the summer when I'm oily, I use just witch's hazel!

    I use Olay total effects (mid priced) and Estee Lauder(pricey) as my budget allows.

    I use either clinique or this Dr. Wexler one, both are a tad bit pricey, not sure if money is an issue. I haven't really tried a lot of the ones in the regular store, but I think Oil of Olay is supposed to be pretty good!

    Its dry meaning that during the colder months especially that I get the white cracked and peeling skin however after I put lotion on my face even if its oil free or for oily skin it gets heavy with oil. I'm sure the ladies get what I am saying lol.

    I use baking soda as a scrub every once in a while and just aveeno hand lotion on my face (I put it on my hands, then rub my hands on my face).

    I have excellent skin :)

    YES! Another good alternative is extra virgin olive oil.

    I swear by Oil of Olay - I use the sensitive skin, fragrance-free one with built-in SPF 15.

    I use straight jojoba oil, best thing I ever did for my skin.

    This, the bottle is a bit pricey but it lasts FOREVER (literally... my bottle is neverending haha) and makes my skin so soft, moisturised, healthy, just... awesome
    This and Garnier Summer Body in Light... it's a moisturiser (that smells like apricots) with the most miniscule bit of tanner in, I use it all year round because it doesn't tan you at all but gives you a glow (I look like a ghost without it!)

    However just to add I use Olay Complete for my eyes only my face I only use Revlon Colorstay it has SPF, moisturizes, does not clog pores, and they carry also combination oily skin.

    I, personally, would consult a dermatologist first. They usually have good stuff they sell in their offices but will also recommend commercially available stuff, too. My hairdresser swears by AVON Anew products.

    I love love love Lush cosmetics! My friend recently convinced me to buy their vanishing cream moisturizer and it's seriously the best stuff I've ever used! My face is usually kinda oily, so I have problems with even the oil free stuff making my face look super shiny, but when I use the vanishing cream it's not shiny. It's $40 for a 1.5 oz tub, but IMO it's worth ever penny and then some. There's not a lush store where I live, so I order it online at lush.com. The company is Canadian based, but they have stores and ship to a bunch of places. They're also handmade, organic, and a lot of their products are vegan. I also really like how every container has the date the product was made, along with a little picture and the name of the person who made it and it's expiration date.

    Rereading that makes it really sound like I'm selling something lol, but it's one of my favorite places to shop and is definitely worth checking out. If there's a store near you you can even go in and try some on in the store and they'll usually give you a small sample to take with you, if you want to try it.

    The best thing you can do for your skin is hydrate from within, so drink your water. :) Also, vitamins A and C are supposed to be good for collagen production. A good multivitamin will contain both A and C in it.

    Then, buy a lotion that has high SPF in it which will help protect you from the sun.
