With an ever growing beauty industry, we find ourselves with plenty of options to create a skincare regimen just for us. We can stick to a morning and evening much the same or stray off the path and offer our skin different paths both am & pm.
It has taken me years to discover brands that really work for my skin. I am sure we have all been there-fads, friends, reviews, great marketing. It can be a long journey to finding your fit.
My biggest challenge was finding something that worked well with combination skin. So many products say for ALL SKIN TYPES but I found this to be false in my experience. It also did not help that I was on a tight budget and could only afford drug store products.
Many products would help with only part of my face while making the other parts worse. I would be dry on my cheeks, lips, jowels, temples, and under eyes but it would work for my T-zone. Or it would break out my jawline and cheeks and forehead. I just could not find a winning combination.
I found that investing in a few higher end products can make all the difference! The drug store products that I use if out of my current regimen are Cetaphil, Cerave, and Almay.
