Sandy Girl, I used to be a BeautiControl dealer and thought not now I still use their products on my face. Since I have so much extra products laying around I've been trying to use it up. I loved their extreme hand creme in the tube. Though it was expensive by modern day prices it was totally worth it. I've given some of my smaller kits away to the ladies around here. I too am in the Midwest now and still play outdoors in the garden during the summer so try to keep lathered so not to get dried out or burnt.

I am a Mary Kay person myself--responsible for keeping my rep in her pink Cadillac; I've used it since my sister was a dealer way back in the 70's. Old habits are hard to break, I guess. I am six years older than my better half, but no one can tell by looks--he won't use Mary Kay.

I've been using the Avon Anew Ultimate line and I love it. I am 60 and it gives me just enough moisture and it does not irritate my skin. The two part eye creams are great too. They do not bother my eyes. I won't stop using it.

I used to use that but when I hit 40, it quit doing the job for me. Everyones skin is different and one size does not fit all. One has to find what works for them.

I use Murad. I love it. It is best priced buying it thru their website. Sign up for their newsletter, they always have something you get for free with your order. I love the rapid age spot remover. I use their whole line of creams. Kinda pricey but they last months. After using them for 3 weeks I stopped in at my moms and she wanted to know what my new makeup was that I was wearing. I am 57 and didn't have any makeup on except mascara. I was at my sisters the next day and my mom had told her about how good my skin looked. Both of them placed an order.

I am using coconut oil. It looks like lard and I use it all over when I get out of the shower.

Paula Begoun's books might be helpful. She examines the products of skin care and make - up and gives her verdict re value for money. I have extra dry, sensitive skin and find that aqueous cream and sorbilene cream to be the best moisturisers after petroleum jelly but we have different sun products over here that are possibly unavailable to you.

I was using NO.7 but the consultant at the beauty counter suggested I try Reversa, I've been using it for a while and the day cream has SPF in it. My skin feels nice and soft.
