[...] I want to preface (for anyone who has read my blog since last November) that I rarely go outside my hardcore Clinique addiction when it comes to skincare. The reality of the situation, though, is… I’m poor. I know, [...]

Like you, I got hooked on Clinique because my mother has been using it forever. She also looks way younger than her age! We always get the Clinique bonuses and trade each other for our fave items. It’s a family tradition at this point

Jen's definitely right on Cetaphil products - my old roommate's mom was a dermatologist and they both swear by the ultra gentle lotions and cleansers. Birdie´s last blog post was Quote!

I am going to switch to clinique after I am done with my stuff. I've heard so much about them! Fabulously Broke´s last blog post was Total Spend for Second Weekend November 22nd to November 24th!

Like Birdie, I also love the D.D.M. Gel. I have rosacea, and it’s the only thing (combined with Clinique’s Moisture Sheer Tint SPF15 for light, natural coverage and a dose of sunscreen) that keeps me from getting blotchy, red, and broken-out. (It’s also great for perking up your eyes first thing in the morning.)

My go-to for body lotion is simple and inexpensive, too: Cetaphil. My dermatologist recommended it for the “changover months” – from fall to winter and spring to summer – when my skin gets super dry from the change in temperature. He was right on the money: it’s the only thing keeping my hands and feet silky.

OOOUUUUUU Clinique. I love the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel - on my skin, it seems to become less oily throughout the day (though I do love the actual lotion for when I'm sick - it DOES work wonders on chapped noses!) I LOVE some All About Eyes as well for those mornings where you drag yourself out of bed because you stayed up too late or had one too many the night before. Helps reduce the dark circles and puffiness, and apparently helps keep your eye make up in place! And finally, the Clinique counter girl got me hooked on their Turnaround Concentrate (because I've got the freckles, so my skin looks uneven sometimes). This stuff is velvety awesome all over your face, and helps control breakouts. Birdie´s last blog post was Quote!

I have perfect skin and I owe it to the following things:

1) Messing with it as little as possible. This means not touching my skin a lot, not picking at it, using gentle face wash and moisturizer and not wearing any powder or foundation.

2) Aspirin mask (miracle mask!) once every 2 weeks. Shrinks pores, clears blemishes, evens complexion and makes skin GLOW. Only cost $1!

3) This product right here (Ole Henrickson Nurture Me Creme):
