I have used cetaphil liquid cleanser for several years now, and it is so gentle for my sensitive skin.

As a hand/body moisturizer, I really like curel (original formula and Not the unscented which doesn't have such a pleasant scent ;)

How about anyone else out there?!! Thanks for sharing :)

My ultimate skin care product is Proactive Renewing Cleanser. I used to break out often and since I started using this it is very rare that I ever even have one pimple on my face. The only time I do is if I skip just one day of using it. I don't follow the regular routine with it though. I first wash my face with baby shampoo to remove all of the makeup. Then I apply the Practive cleanser and gently scrub to clean out the poors and I leave it on my face until it has dried and totally soaked into my pores. Then I rinse. I tried Proactive a while back without success but leaving it on my face like a mask every day is what really makes it work well for me. It also does not dry out my skin like regular benzoyl peroxide washes that you find in the drug store.

A funny thing I just figured out in the last month is they have a vending machine now in the mall by my house that sells it so I can just get the cleanser without having to buy the entire kit.

Cetaphil Cleansing Bar for washing my face followed by Neutrogena Moisture. In between, I love Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask!

I will only wash with handmade soap I make myself from scratch. Is very mild and pure and doesn't contain harmful parabens and stuff.

For moisturizing and toning, I have found that the Myshelle health food store line is just the best ever. But since they are pricey I would say Crisco, olive oil, vaseline, or mayonnaise applied and wiped off with a tissue or hot washcloth.
