Makeup Remover?

[Robyn]

Now that I'm old(er) with a few wrinkles settling in; for example, the skin of my brow bone drooping over my eyelid and the ever increasing fold under my cheek, lol.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for an economical solution that will hopefully nourish my skin?

Sometimes, I hate gravity!!!!

There are some good products on the market that will help "conceal" the flaws that seem to come to us as we get a bit "longer in the tooth."

I know what works for me, but I think you will have to experiment with what works for you and you skin tone and type and of course, how you want to present.

There are some good colored concealers out there in green, pink and skin tone. One for wrinkles and yet another for dark spots and yet another for red places. I have good luck using a good moisturizer first, then various concealers for "what ails me," then a good foundation and finally, the one product I will name the one product that works wonders for me. Mineral Veil, the powder and concealer are like magic, at least for me. Yes it is expensive but aren't we worth it? There's a commercial there somewhere.

It is mostly a "trial and error," so just take your time and try several different approaches and find what you are content with using.

Moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize some more. Between moisturizing, clean.

Other than that, Virginia nailed it. Your unique body chemistry will define what works best, unfortunately it doesn't tell you up front. You have to try and see if there are results. Be patient, I usually try a product until empty before deciding if it is a keeper or a looser (unless there are clear adverse reactions, of course).

Not necessarily the answer you are looking for, but I am a big fan of the standard Noxzema. Its what I first used all those years ago during my formative years and what I still use

Noxzema works really well, for removing makeup and moisturizing the skin.

There are a number of good quality facial makeup removers and eye makeup removers.
Almay, Ulta, Neutrogena, Baby Oil, Crisco Shortening, and the one I use most Albolene

Excellent, thank you all. I'm certainly finding this to be a "trial and error" phase as Virginia pointed out. Foundation and makeup remover have been my biggest hurdles.

Noxima, hmm... I'm due for both those items so I think I'll give Noxima a try as it's not too expensive. I've been spending a lot of money lately for things that were never in my activity/entertainment/fun budget. But wait, maybe this should be the health and wellness budget, lol.

Robyn, truly skin is like anything else on the bod and is fed from within. Next anything chemical that penetrates skin is an engineering marvel or a bug.

Now that makeup remover? I use pretty much any soap I want, but for the combo of mosturizing and cleaning would be a beauty bar. BTW, Noxema is an old favorite that's been around as long as I have so there must be something to it.

Well they were all out of Noxzema at the local Target so I thought I'd try Ponds. Hmm, seems to work well. I'm still taking the inexpensive route on makeup items because I'm trying so many different things, yet I can't help myself but to continue to purchase new dresses and shoes. I've always hand a fondness for cute shoes, and "Shoe Metro" has found petty cash account.

Three new pair of slingbacks on their way.

... kind of crossing (no pun intended) topics here... perhaps this should be in "THE OFFICIAL: What did you buy today? #3"
