This week's blog post on skin care really struck a happy note for me. Many years ago, when I was only in my late teens, my grandmother gave me her secret to beautiful skin. Simple: use a moisturizing cream EVERY DAY. She made a point of saying that it does not have to be high priced at all. The key is to USE IT DAILY. If I remember correctly, she used Pond's. My personal favorite brand for skin care is Dr. Hauschka, which I have used for about twenty years. It IS rather pricey, but a little goes a long way, and I like that they use natural ingredients in all their products. Before Dr. Hauschka, I used almost exclusively Clinique products.I am nearly 77 years old, and most people think I am in my late fifties or early sixties. It's possible that heredity plays a part in this, but I really believe it's that I took my grandmother's words to heart.

I agree with you and your grandmother! Washing your face gently every morning and night and applying a moisturizer every day will have a HUGE impact on the condition of your skin. What you eat, how much sleep you get, how much stress you are under-all can play a roll as well as heredity.

Thanks for this article on skin care. Lots of awesome tips. I try to wash my face before bed. Now I'm going to make sure I do. After reading about what to do daily and what to avoid I'm vowing to better skin care.
