    I'm hoping all of you beauty experts can help with this. 

    I'm really not liking my skincare products right now.  I was using a Dior facewash, but switched to a Neutrogena cream face wash a few weeks ago because I was trying to be frugal.  Of course, if frugal causes breakouts right before the wedding, it's not worth it. 

    My skin is the classic combination skin, and it can get pretty dry (especially in winter), PLUS have very small bumps (minor acne) on my forehead at the same time. 

    I don't use an eye cream, but would love to because I've been noticing darker circles under my eyes.  I just turned 30 but have only spotted a few fine lines so far.

    I like the basic moisturizer I've been using (DDF oil-free).  Any and all suggestions would be really helpful!

    Here's the most recent pic of me (and FI) so you can sort of get the idea.

    I love Caudalie's eye cream (sold at Sephora).  It isn't cheap, but it lasts forever.

    I'm also a big fan of the Clairsonic face brush.  It will get your skin super clean and clear.

    I swear by the Neutrogena black head removing facial shower scrub! I used to have a zit scattered face most of the time, but since a clerk recommended it to me 6 months ago- clear, smooth skin! My face is seriously soft and glowy (or, well, as glowy as its ever going to get). I am hyper allergic to many face/body/hair products, but I've never had a bad reaction to this stuff. I too have combo skin, so maybe this will work for you!

     

    (Bonus: pretty cheap. I want to say $5-$6 and since a little goes a long way, it lasts a long time.)

    L'Oreal Skin genesis face lotion has made my skin a lot better.

    I hear you! My skin had fewer breakouts when I was a teenager than I've experienced in my 20's.  I also have combination skin and I wasn't happy with my skin care regimen.  I had always been experimenting with my skin care - using proactive, neutrogena oil free cleanser, etc and never found anything that provided lasting results. 

    I went to the dermatologist and he recommend the Nia24 line (http://www.nia24.com/).  The products are only available through a dermatologist but the website will help you locate a dermatologist near you that sells them.  I am a huge fan of the:

    •  Physical cleansing scrub
    • Gentle cleansing cream and
    • Eye repair complex. 

    They are a little pricer than the brands that you find in the department store, but they are great quality and give you great, clear skin!

    I just started taking hair skin and nails vitamins from Trader Joe's and I can already tell a difference!
