I have heard that La Prairie's eye cream is great too!

Okay! And since I'm reaching the end of my 20's I guess its time to start taking better care...one more silly question - what does toner do?

Toner is like an astringent that takes away and dirt or makeup left over after your cleanser....You soak a cotton ball with it and rub it over your face....(and leave it - don't wash it off)
My Dermatologist told me that if you use a good enough cleanser, you shouldn't need a toner...but I still use one...

You can buy witch hazel and at any drug store and it makes a fantastic toner...and it's super cheap too!

Yes, so far so good...but even better is their Retexturizing Booster. This stuff is AWESOME!!!! My skin looks better than ever!

Worth every penny

The woman who did my make-up for my wedding also does make-up for tv and she swears by Clay (sp?) de Peau eye cream. You can get it at Saks and Bergdorfs. It's about $65 for a small jar but she says it lasts forever and is the BEST!

For me:

Cleanser: Cetaphil
Eye cream - Sisley
Toner - BioTherm
Moisturizer - Eucerin

Eucerin ..
THE MOISTURIZER if choice in our home.

I use Origins for my face and tattoo cause it's soothing and creamy.

Eucerin I use for my knees, elbows, feet and any other body part. I found out about it from friends at the office because Jim has really dry elbows, so dry they would crack and bleed. I didn't want fancy creams that would irrate his elbows and someone pointed me to Eucerin (this was two years ago) At first I made him use it every night and every morning.. now.. it's gotten so much better he only has to use it in the morning every now and then.. no more bleeding or irrated dry skin!!

I use Origins
A Perfect World (toner)
White Tea Skin Guardian

I just love the way it smells.. so soft and not too strong.. it makes me feel good so im more likely to use it.

I use the white tea verision of Origins for Moisturizer too.

I use Clinque All about the Eyes because it HAS no scent (so close to my eyes and contacts that's big) and it make my under eyes feel soft (jury still out on taking up the puffiness and dark rings)

Re: what eye cream do you use?

Ya know.. the most annoying part..

One of my clients is The Estee Lauder Companies.. (all of them) but we can't recieve 'gifts' from them that is their product. Both ours and their own ethical policies prevent it.

SO annoying!

I expect to make a trip out to their plant in Melville this spring. Maybe I can get samples... hehe.

Re: what eye cream do you use?

I use Fresh's Soy Eye Cream... I also love their facial products that use umbrian clay!!

I feel so old using eye cream. And I found a gray hair! If I put my eye cream on it maybe it'll go away. LOL
