I think my skin looks pretty good considering I am 37 and a long time sun worshipper. The best skin care advice I could give? Drink lots of water, I do mean LOTS and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
Some favorite products:
Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara. Goes on without clumping, doesn't flake off or smear. You can go from a light natural look to the pumped up Liz Taylor lashes. Removes easily with Clinique's Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent. About 80% cry proof.
Clinique All About Eyes. Helps reduce the puffiness and undereye circles. A little dab goes a long way and a small jar lasts me about six months.
Oil of Olay Daily Facial Cloths. A wonderful invention. They take off makeup effectively and also moisturize yet have just a bit of exfoiliation. So much cleaner than washclothes and not as puckering as soap.
Palmer's Shea Butter Formula Lotion. I must admit, I am a lotion whore. I've tried every brand under the sun from cheap cheap cheap to very expensive. I've found the Palmer's Shea Butter Formula a bargain at $7.99 at any drugstore. It has a light pleasant scent that won't overpower your perfume and is thick and creamy and absorbs quickly without being heavy or greasy. It also won't bleed out your tan, like many lotions do. Ones I avoid: Any Bath & Body Works lotions, Nivea (feel like I got dipped in wax) and Arbonne Almond Lotion (you smell like a cookie).
My favorite lipstick is Clinique Bamboo Pink. A bit of gloss to it, stays fresh a long time yet you don't have to scrub it off. The color goes with just about everything and looks great with a tan.
My signature scent is Clinique Aromatic Elixir. I've worn it for years and haven't come across many other women who do. I have a difficult time with perfumes, something in my body chemistry makes many smell just awful or leave no scent at all on me. Anything very floral or sweet completely disagrees with me. I also like Chanel Coco and Coco Mademoiselle and wear them occasionally.
Body Wash. I am also a body wash whore. I've found anything with a lot of scent does nothing but dry me out terribly. The basic Dove All Day Moisture forumla has a soft clean scent and really does keep your skin from feeling like you just took a shower in the Sahara.
