2. I use Arbonne Intelligence Daily moisturizer.
It's oil-free, which I need. In the summer, I hardly need any moisturizer at all. In the winter though, my skin gets dry in places, but still has oily spots. So, I need an oil-free moisturizer. I've also used Beauty without Cruelty Oil-Free Moisturizer. I've had good results with both brands.

I only use vegan cosmetics, so my choices are somewhat limited.

4. I have combination skin.
Edited on Sat Dec-01-07 01:15 PM by Heidi
Four mornings per week, I exfoliate with Cliniderm abrasive cleansing wash, and then use Oil of Olay around my eyes, neck and other normally dry spots. The other three mornings per week, I use a mild soap from Japan that I buy in the pharmacy.

Oil of Olay is the only moisturizer I use. :shrug:

ETA: During the summer when my skin is more oily, I use witch hazel as an astringent along my T-zone.

5. I have combo skin
My outer cheeks are dry, but my nose, center forehead and chin are oily.

During the day I use a sunscreen for faces (nongreasy) under my make up or with no makeup. Lately it's been Banana Boat.

At night, I've been using Mary Kay dark circle cream (that they discontinued! x( ) under my eyes and an Olay night cream.

I also use a microdermabrasion kit 2x a week and use the moisterizer that comes with it. That's L'Oreal.

I've also tried a cream in my T-zone that's supposed to keep your skin dry (looks a lot nicer under makeup) but I'm not sure I like the idea of drying my skin out.

Most mornings I use plain old glycerine soap or the liquid wash in the shower.
