Good value moisturiser - what do you use?

I have used a few overlast few months- I got Nivea Visage Oxygen ( in pump) in Home bargains - day and night versions - this I really really liked- lovely and light My face is quite dry and I work outdoors etc.

I am now using Revitalift ( day night & eye) all of which I got as a free gift with a mag subscription I would definately buy these.

Otherwise, the reliable one I always use is Nivea Soft in the white tube. Cheap and really reliable for me.

I've been using Neal's Yard Frankincense nourishing moisturiser day and night and really like it.

I use Boots which I buy on 3 for 2. However, I have discovered a wonderful body lotion - the M&S Cocoa Butter & Vanilla, which is only £1.

I slather it on my legs, chest and arms, as it's wrinkly inner arms which really gives age away. It soaks in easily and smells good.

Hi
I've found that Lush Dream Cream is amazing.

I have sort of dry and sensitive skin which seems to be easily clogged and irritated. Allergic to lanolin too. Someone recommended Dream Cream and when I was passing a shop yesterday i nipped in and checked the ingredients. All nice skin calming stuff.

Wore it last night under make up. No shiny skin or spots showing by the end of the night. A miracle in a tub lmao (maybe a bit far but hey!)

Aqueous Cream at Asda - brilliant (and I work in a beauty salon) it's only about £2.50 but it is the best cream ever!

I was going to ask this too.

If I wear foundation (which I need as uneven skin tone and the odd blemish) I have to put moisturiser on under else the foundation dries in clumps and flakes off.

However, most moisturisers feel oily on my skin, plus I have clogged poes/blackheads on my nose and if anything goes near my lips I get spots/clogged pores around them too.

What to use??? Needs to be cheap really but if it lasted forever...

I'd recommend a tinted moisturiser then, I use the Avon one or collection 2000 from Boots. Both good and inespensive.

I use good old original Nivea as a moisturiser. I've not found anything beter yet.

You should try an oil-free moisturiser, most of the ranges for teenage skin should have something to suit. Try the Boots expert range for spot/blemish-prone skin and you hopefully won't get spots around your mouth, HTH.

That is indeed a FAB moisturiser - I have tried it but would only use it as a night cream. My day cream MUST have an SPF, and that is why I like the look on people's faces when I tell them my age. I am convinced my skin looks younger than it is because I avoid the sun and use an SPF 365 days a year. It is the single most important ingredient in a moisturiser for me.

The best all round moisturiser i have found for my skin is Philosophy's Hope in a Jar. Its not cheap but a jar lasts quite a while and there are often really good value sets to be had on QVC. If you buy it on offer it brings the cost down:

Last year i splurged and bought Bliss' Youth as we know it, this worked wonders on my skin but at over £50 a jar:eek: i can't afford to use it all year round. I'm hoping Santa brings me some though:p
