Which skin care products do you recommend?

Well I am a strong advocate for limiting the use of chemicals - both for the damage and toxicity it adds to your skin and for the footprints it leaves on Mother Earth...

I use Jurlique - love it love it. The cleanser lasts me (twice a day useage) about 4-5 months at $45 a bottle. The moisturiser lasts for about 6 months at about $85 a tube. I also love L'Occitane - their products are just slightly more expensive but beautiful also. I buy some when I go to the city (which is rarely) so usually I only have my Jurlique.

I am using a body wash & lotion named "I love my Body" and shampoo named "I love my Hair" and they are made by Toni Childs. They are just beautiful. Again toxic free. I think it's important to choose consciously what you use. I think it's helpful to ask "what toxins does this contain". We need as a society to decide that we will be kinder to ourselves and the environment...

Another one here for outting chemicals in our home and care products. We use neways right through our house but have also heard good things about missense

I regularly use:

MiEssence products
MooGoo (great soap, shampoo and anti-cradle cap products, VERY safe and kind to skin)
Jurlique
L'Occitane

I used to use Clinique but as well as the cost I became suspicious of their environmental impact and chemical ****tails... although I still use their foundations because they have the best SPF factor and "fit" for my skin. Clinique exfoliator ingredients include plastic granules and alcohol... way too harsh on skin.
