Moisturizers for Older Skin (with exceptions!)

[Amethyst]

When the winter time comes, I find that I need to use a moisturizer on my face before I go to bed because the steam heat in my house dries out my face. I have a humidifier but I got tired of cleaning the darn thing (fear of mold) and stopped using it.

Even at 43, I still have this oily t-zone that is prone to occasional pimples & blackheads if you can believe that.

What's a good lightweight moisturizer for older skin that won't clog pores (non-comedogenic, if I'm spelling it correctly) that will moisturize but not let me wake up with an slick greasy face and hairline (although I do wash my hair every day anyway, but still).

Thanks!

I love Eminence Rosehip Whip Moisturizer! It's a lightweight moisturizer that mattes the skin so it helps with my oily t-zone. I put it on my cleansed skin every night before bed and never wake up with an oily residue which always happened to me with everything else I tried. It's recommended for oily, sensitive, mature, and rosecea skin types. It's kinda expensive so my esthetician gave me a few samples of it and I still have quite a bit left because it doesn't take much. I am definitely gonna buy a jar when my samples run out because it's the best moisturizer i've ever found for my skin.

Hi Amethyst, i would love to recomend you try Gale Hayman's skincare products. I think you will be impressed. QVC sell her skincare and their moisturiser called 24/7 Moisture Complex might be perfect for your skin.It provides skin with moisture 24/7..lol and is enriched with a special vitamin complex and derivatives from plants and flowers and the sea! This cream is a wonderful all rounder,it is great as a moisturiser,anti wrinkle cream,throat cream and makeup base. But i have just realised i am so excited with this forum i am jumping way ahead. May i suggest you try Simply Beautiful Cosmetics Collagen Gel, which is perfect for nighttime. Amethysit this product is beautiful and is used in salon's...also i can guarantee any woman who tried this gel will become addcited to it!

Look out for my Gale Hayman Reviews coming soon for more info.

You may want to call around your town to various spas and skin care clinics to see if they carry the Eminence line. Otherwise, you can purchase online here...

Hi Amethyst, i was was watching the Liz Earl show on QVC last night and i you asking about something that was light weight and won't block pores. Liz Earl mentioned her Light moisturiser which i thought might be nice for yourself. I noticed she has different combination's of for oily/combination and Dry/Sensitive skin. It might be worthwhile having a look on her website to learn more about her products.They are naturally active and very reasonably priced.

i feel nivea has a high ph content .. therefore light on the skin too..It worked well for me as I have oily skin too but what i have seen is in winters my skin behave well as the weather is dry and therfore no oilyness too.
