    Facial creams
    Can anyone recommend a good face cream. I have very clear skin, and I wash it every night and never really had problems with my skin, but lately it has been getting a little dry. I've tried some face creams but they leave me face feeling very oily or they don't help at all. Thanks

    Maybe try washing it with something else, have you recently moved to somewhere with hard water, or been staying in a hotel, As far as I'm aware, NM has relatively hard water, (6-8 grains). If you're used to a softner and are not currently using one, that may be an issue. Try some of the dove cleansers rather than putting stuff on your face. If the try maybe washing your skin less, no more than a couple of times a day, or skip a day and see if it helps.
    Over washing can dry your skin, and I'm not suggesting you get all "Grody" but maybe just wash less for a couple of days, your skin may need a break if that's the case. But I'd expect it's more likely the water. After this past winter, many people are experiencing drier skin than usual, it may be just that simple. Also the city may even be having to use different sources for it's water, so again may be a little harder than you're used to.

    Clinique's dramatically different moisturiser is a good one for hydrating. It's not greasy either. :)

    Thegandyman actually I haven't been washing my face as much as I used to, and at first Ithought that was the problem. I have not moved anywhere, I have not used any different type of cleanser.
