Moisturizers! (Highly requested by the one person I actually know reads my blog!). Okay, so in the AM after I wash my face & use my biore toner, I have been using Neutrogena's Visibly Even moisturizer. When I first started using this moisturizer, I found it to be greasy (not a quality I like in a moisturizer!). I would use blotting papers after I applied it to remove the excess grease, that's pretty bad. However, I realized that I was in a rush: applying moisturizer right before I was ready to do makeup. I didn't give the moisturizer time to set in. Now I give it some time to soak in and it works just fine. It has SPF which I like. Would I repurchase this? Probably not. I'll use it up but I will look for a new moisturizer once I finish this tube. I really like my PM routine: I use a moisturizer made by Simple (no dyes, fragrance or bad ingredients) as well as two drops of Josie Maran's Argan Oil. I am obsessed with Moroccan oil and argan oil. If you look up the details on these ingredients, the benefits are endless. You can use it on your skin and hair too (at the ends to bring moisture)! After I remove my makeup, wash my face and use toner, I put a pea sized amount of simple moisturizer in my hands. Then I add two little drops of argan oil, rub my hands together and apply it to my face. Why use two different moisturizers for AM and PM? I want SPF in the morning to protect my skin from the sun. I don't need SPF when I'm sleeping! I need moisture, moisture, moisture! Did you know that while you sleep your skin heals itself? Provide it with nutrients it needs! Prices: Neutrogena Visibly Even ($12), Simple Moisturizer ($11), Josie Maran's Argan Oil ($14-$48 depending on size)<--Lasts FOREVER.
