    I was told by a friends mom when I was in my teens to take care of my skin then because I would regret it later. I wish I had listened! I still have good skin, but I am just now realizing the value of good cleansers (not drying ones) and moisturizers (not oily ones). This does not mean you have to spend $100's of dollars, but get a good routine and stick with it. And never go to bed with make-up on!!

    does anyone have any ideas or recipes for using natural products for acne-prone skin? I've used nearly every brand at the stores, and I'm convinced that a natural solution would be much healthier on my skin. any feedback would be GREAT!

    I just look in the mirror and know I need to keep doing whatever I do 58 and no face wrinkles, now the hands are a different story, I put lotion on every night before bed. I have had oily skin all my life so I guess that has helped.

    I've always loved makeup and skin care products so over time I took more time to develop a routine.

    Natural beauty is best ... I don't really have time for a LOT of stuff like putting on various creams or lotions, but I do use about 3 different products to keep myself moisturized and feeling lovely. To much of anything can't be to good so I don't go overboard on anything actually.

    My beauty routine s pretty much been the same over the last 5 years..though as I age, I feel like I should be adding additional beauty steps...especially for my skin.

    I am not a daily makeup person but I so the usual moisturizer and maybe some lip gloss. I am in my late 20's and all my friends my age seem to pile on the makeup everyday all day. I value my time more than how I may or may not look to other people. I ask some of my co workeres why they wear make up all the time and they said they are used to it and when they do not wear makeup they feel naked. Maybe one day I will get to the whole makeup thing, till then hand me some lip gloss please ;]

    Although I try to keep my routine, I must admit that I tend to forget to put on night creams and such much more than I should, especially since I tend to have very dry skin.
