I've been using Oil of Olay (SPF...15?) moisturizer for the past while, and like it well enough, but may switch to some fancy Clinique stuff. I keep thinking I should use eye cream, and not bothering. The problem is, I feel like my nighttime routine has gotten so complicated I'm too lazy to do all of it every night--sometimes I'm TIRED!

I've been trying to use the Olay fake-Clarisonic and it seems to work fairly well (I get flakey otherwise) but sometimes I'm too lazy and just use a makeup wipe.

I've always used cold cream to remove makeup, specifically my mascara, although the Ponds dry skin cream does a pretty good job of removing makeup as well as moisturizing. I'm trying to finish up a jar of cold cream my sister gave me, but otherwise I'd just stick with the dry skin cream. And that I discovered its ability to remove makeup in college - one of the guys involved in a play hadn't removed his stage makeup before coming back to the dorm and he was desperate to get the stuff off his face - soap and water wasn't doing very well - so he tried my skin cream and it worked very well.

I need a cheaper makeup remover. All I use it for is taking off the adhesive from the bandages from the IV. Total waste of Clinique, but it's the most effective thing I have in the house right now.

Cloth shoes, rainy day. Good looking out, ita !.

I'm glad the nice guy at Fry's tested my optical audio cable so I didn't run the risk of having to buy, open, test, and return. And, thankfully, my cable was bad, so I'm going to assume my TV and audio bar work just fine. Whoot! Least pricey link in the chain.

What makes something "cold cream"? As opposed to just face cream?

I've taken to using straight jojoba oil on my face, hands, hair, whatever.

I've been using coconut oil as a body moisturizer in the shower. It's awesome.

I use baby oil in the shower and it is chea and keeps my very dry skin super-smooth and non-cracked. I use an under-eye cream at night--whatever has retinol and is on sale at CVS, basically. Tinted moisturizer during the day.

Wow, Consuela, that DW post your referred to is very damning.

Also, I'm startled by the number of people saying "But how will I violate copyright now??" with some sort of air of innocence, like they were owed free TV somehow. I know when I'm downloading someone's IP that it could go away any time now, and I'm not really asking for general sympathy in the case of its loss.

I have no one true cosmetic except Dr Bronner's peppermint soap, but I'll note for people with dry skin that my mother has beautiful skin at 85, after more than 50 years of using Ar-Ex moisturizers [link]

Jojoba oil. Best thing ever.

Yeah. I mean, it's kind of stupid that there's no way to access stuff worldwide legally when it's released, but I do at least recognize the implications of what I'm doing when I ahem. I'm fairly judicious, for the most part.
