Moisturizing Regimen---Face, Hands, Body

[spacon4]

[B]What products do you use for your daily moisturizing regimen??[B]

I'm interested in particular products for my hands, face, and body. Also, I'd like to know what is your exact regimen for the times in between shaves, e.g. before going to bed. What types of products and in what order do you use them??

What are your experiences with the Target products in their spa section: J.R. Watkins, Au Lait, Burt's Bees, Caira, Caldo...

During the day: I apply ASB in the morning on a wet face and I rub a thin coat of this watered-down balm on my forehead, nose and cheeks as well.
After evening shower: Proraso P&P
Before bed: Nivea blue tub

After a shave, Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe followed by ASB. Periodically throughout the day as well as after evening face wash I apply The Gentleman's Refinery moisturizer. The GR moisturizer absorbs quickly without a greasy feeling but leaves skin smooth for a long time.

All my shaves are ultimately finished off with a nice coating of my entire face with Nivea Extra Enriched Lotion, and that also goes on wherever else it's needed. It's not too oily; gets taken up nicely. Best - MM

My usual routine is:

Morning.
hair, face, body wash with Calendula olive oil soap.
Shave with EM's unscented shaving cream.
Rinse with warm water than one splash of cold water.
Finish it off with Mama Bears Unscented Winter aftershave Balm (Loving this).
Apply a body moisturizer

Mid-afternoon.
occasionally I will just pat off some of the oil off my face and than gently apply some water.
Apply Hugo natural botanical hand lotion (purchased from Whole Foods)

Evening:
Face, body wash with my Calandula soap.
Finish is off with my Mama Bear Aftershave (still in love)
Apply a body moisturizer (arizona natural resources body moisturizer purchased from TJMaxx) .32oz for only $5 (pretty good stuff)

Sorry I can't really comment on any of the Taget brands.

Although this might change when summer time comes around. Also for your information i have combination/sensitive skin. Prior to coming onboard B&B I was purchasing very high end products with no results and i was tired of spending waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time in front of the mirror.

....so what's left after you've moisturized these parts ???

[Ginns]

I have VERY dry skin, especially in winter. Exzema dry.

I found a killer moisturizer for hands and body a while back. It is called "Skin Sin", by a company called Lush (www.lush.com). It has a lot of shea and cocoa butter in it, all natural ingredients, it's absolutely the best moisturizer I've ever come across. If you order some, while you are at it, order a couple of the Bath Bombs for your partner (or both of you) to enjoy in the bath. Plop one in, and two minutes later the entire bathroom smells of sweet fragrances and flowers, and there are rose petals and other flowers floating in the bath which has turned from water to an incredible moisturizing skin soak. Absolutely one of the most relaxing, or romantic, experiences you can treat yourself to.

The second best was Neutrogena non-scented, I forget the name something like "Norwegian Formula for Dry Skin", in a big pump bottle.

For the face, Cetaphil non-scented moisturizer with SPF 15 sunscreen. Good stuff, excellent price.

Gold Bond Ultimate lotion with shea butter in it for dry skin. You can also use it on your face but I usually use shave balm for that. :thumbup:

[rafikz]

I have dry skin and I use Coppertone (regular, not oil-free) as a face lotion ;yeah, that's right.
It works really great, has some great goodies (Jojoba oil, aloe, vit.E) ; plus, it has sunscreen (duh !)
