Do you use them?
Day cream
Night cream
Toner
Cleanser
Moisturiser
Eye cream
Blah blah blah
I use moisturiser as and when I remember but my mum uses all sorts of expensive things but can't really see what the benefit of them are.

I use expensive moisturiser daily. I got some as a gift, it's not something I'd ever have considered buying myself but oh my god my skin is so much better! I treat myself to it now.
I have other stuff I use sometimes but I mostly can't be arsed. |

Cocoa butter for the body and um.............cough pile cream cough for any temporary bags under the eyes.
Drink a healthy amount of water and watch the caffeine intake. Then watch how the skin reacts |

"As I'm getting older I'm throwing all sorts of moisturiser at my skin. I never used to... oh to be young 
It would cost me a frigging fortune to Moisturise my whole body daily  "
I seem to have collected loads of different moisturizers...I don't recall buying them I think mostly they are gifts. People must be trying to tell me something   |

I use body lotion daily on my erm body lol. I use Olay serum and Aldi moisturiser on my face. I've done that since I was 29, no idea if its made any difference but I never moisturise my forehead or nose as they're very greasy and tjey don't look older than the rest of my face  .
I think it's a good idea to moisturise after a shower or bath because soap removes natural oils. |

Palmers cocoa butter, I go through gallons of the stuff every month.
I had terrible eczema as a child, and still suffer with incredibly dry skin.
Palmers is one of the few things I don't have a bad reaction too |

I used to get really red dry patches on my face in my early 20's, made me extremely concious  dr gave me a 1% steroid cream that i used for years before getting an ear bashing from the chemist who then gave me E45 and I've used it ever since, i feel the difference if i don't use it, my face feels really tight, sore and dry.
I have to be careful with anything i put on my body so its E45 moisturising lotion and dove, anything else and my skin reacts |

some kind of body cream for my face each day and some after I shave... that's it. I don't use soap when I shower anyway so it doesn't dry out the skin... or maybe I am just an extremely lazy bitch |

I use a bit of moisturiser morning and night when I can remember but as for all the rest, nah, it's not needed.
Water is enough. I had a recent facial treatment (no, not that type lol) and the beautician asked me what I used as my skin was immaculately clean and healthy. When I said just water she was amazed. It's just the beauty product companies trying to make financial profits by telling us we need all of these products. |

I have bought expensive creams in the past - usually face cream promising to make me look years younger in 3 weeks ...
Guess what - they didn't
But I think if something makes you feel good then why not.
Now I just use a cheap Olay face cream with SPF and any body cream that smells nice.
I like Soap and Glory.
And 50p facewipes to take my makeup off.
It's all a con. |

It isn't all a con but the extravagant promises are optimistic . The best anti aging thing you can do for yourself is use spf creams. |

Yes I love luxurious products and use them all. The smell, texture, regular self-pampering ritual all contribute to a glorious sense of well-being. (And no, I don't work for a cosmetics company) |

I'm a bit anal over my skin care now - I neglected my skin in my 20s
So now I use elemis cleanser and toner.
I use elemis skin buff a couple of times a week and I use a regular face mask.
I moisturise every morning and use a oil or balm at night. I've tried various products but always revert back to elemis |

My skin is naturally oily on my face but dry elsewhere. I used to just use Vaseline/Olive oil on my body and Olay on my face, but as I've gone through the menopause my skin has become very dry, so I use an emolient shower gel/cream prescribed by my doctor. |

I use Clinique moisturiser on my face it’s the only one I find that actually sinks into my skin and not sits on it. I exfoliate twice a week and use wipes to take my make up off x |

Nope its nice being a man and feeling under no pressure to. Although in some ways I guess im a bit of a dinosaur because the range of products for men is increasing and I know there is growing consumption of products amongst men. But i suppose the beauty industry is always looking to use peoples fears, hangups and social expectations to bleed money out of people. And the male market is there for the taking. I'm not a fussy man when it comes to beauty products, neither am I fussy about women having to spend hours using them. |

Most my adult life i have used a non perfumed moisturiser on my face and prefereably one with a spf of at least 12 in it.
I have rosacea on my face, neck, upper chest and upper arms so i use the cream on those areas daily at least plus i use a prescribed antibacterial cream on chin and nose area and any other area when it is causing problems. During problem times i dab the areas with Tea Tree Oil after putting on the prescribed cream.
My body skin tends to be dry especially since the menopause so most days i use either E45 or a Body Shop cream on most of my body. Its time consuming and boring but it stops my skin itching. |

Buy raw unprocessed organic shea butter for face, hands, feet.
Cocoa butter unprocessed by block, rub this all over body.
Aloe vera cut fresh from leaf, gel applied under eyes..wear sun glasses in any bright light outside. Stops crows feet. Drink plenty of water.
I noticed lots of u use commercial rip off creams and gels etc most of which contain alcohol..obviously so good for your skin ha or petroleum products.
Ladies only way is natural way.
I noticed some use palmers shea butter, ha try find the nut, is very little on it, buy about a years worth for price of a brand name that contains next to no real product and certainly fecked with in.a lab and had load of synthetic substances added.
Mr natural here
Oh and coconut oil very good for all over body massage, with benefits to skin layers, plus can pull with it, draw out toxins, but another matter altogether |
