What MD said, but if you find you want to use something on your face because it is dry, then I would suggest looking to organic products with no nasty chemicals or alcohol in them (which most supi and chemist brands have). I use Warbotanicals products here, they are made fairly locally to me and I get them at a local farmers market. Totally lush. Maybe find something local using yummy ingredients for yourself as a treat!
Don't quote me, but I think using nothing is better than using anything, unless it's 100% natural (eg avocado facemask.)
Be careful which products you buy, some only list the active ingredients, which are natural, and you don't know what other crap might be in there.
Also, just because it's natural doesn't always mean it's good either. Some natural ingredients are harsh on the skin. I, for one, react badly to products with citrus.
If your skin is looking and feeling fine, I wouldn't mess with it. Just drink lots of water and be healthy!
I swear by the rule of always keeping your face protected by the sun. I wear a hat and sunnies, sunscreen, my face is always super pale but i'm yet to get a wrinkle and ppl always tell me they thought I was 18, still get asked for I.D hahaha
I also have used a mosituriser every day since I was about 16, I think skin is more likely to wrinkle if it gets too dry.
I'm using moogoo on my face right now, just the udder cream.
I think past posters are right, a healthy diet, plenty of water and exercise is the key as well as sun protection. Why not try a cheap vitamin E cream or something? Quick and easy
Drink plenty of water.
Having dry skin does mean wrinkles so you want to keep you skin hydrated and moistured.. even a nivea cream etc is better then nothing..
People with oily skin dont get as many wrinkles as them with dry.. so yes HYDRATE
healthy diet.. well that is a given for a healthy body as well.
but even if you can cleanse your face.. use something with no soap as that will dry it out even more.. so a cream cleanser is great
Also, wearing a hat and saying out of the sun.. or wear sunscreen is nearly #1 on the list.
I love to product to and I am also a beauty therapist! Ha ha but I do agree the best thing is what you put in your body to begin with! I see ladies who buy heaps of expensive product but refuse to stop smoking/drinking and sitting in the sun so its not such a good spend of money (please don't think I am saying anything judgemental about what they do i am simply saying that what you do to your body day to day is really important too!)
Try a simple cream cleanser as didspunk said you can use it in the shower if you need to and then a good moisturiser with some vitamin's A, C and E or green tea would see you feeling and looking fab so a simple 2 step process!
