Economy or extravagance

I like Elemis too Paddyann and Pantglas, and I often buy it when it’s on offer on QVC. Otherwise I use Olay or Nivea, but I do find I have to be careful as some creams make me itch. The other expensive cream I like is Ester Lauder Resilience Lift, but I don’t think any of them make any difference to wrinkles, they all simply moisturise.

I've discovered that Aldi's skin care products are as good as any and are cruelty-free. M&S own-brands are a bit more expensive and also cruelty-free. I like their moisturiser a lot. Oddly, I find that many moisturisers, whether more or less pricey smell rather like the Ponds cold cream my aunt used to use!
I have bought Liz Earle products when feeling flush, but really, they are no more effective than cheaper products.

mumofmadboys I too don't use much more than soap and water on my face. I was 'blessed' with oily skin when I was young, although I didn't see it as a blessing back then! Mum always said that I would be glad of it in later life and she was right. I don't have many wrinkles and my skin feels comfortable.

I use Clinique soap every day and an Aldi Lacura moisuriser maybe once or twice a month if I remember!
