That is a good article-

My suggestion is to always use a moisturizer that feels light and silky on your skin type. Don't buy into heavy creams because they feel good on your hands.

When you are testing any product that you are going to purchase for you face do not use your hands to help you judge. The skin on your face and the skin on your hands are very different.  I would love nothing more than to slather on some Vaseline (Tyra Banks swears by this# and let is soak all night.. but that won't work for my skin type #normal) nor could I stand the weight of the product.

I am very partial to organic products- Love Rhonda Allison Skin Care product's and for my Body- it has to be Lush!!

 For my facial moisturizer I use Rhonda Allison's Pumpkin Cream Essence it's just as amazing  as it sounds, and it works perfectly for me. Yes, I am partial to her product and you can only get them from professional facilities - Rhonda Allison does not direct sell to the public.

You can find a local retailer in your area- some of the retailers will ship as well.

If you can get your hands on the Cherry Jubilee Enzyme for an amazing Facial!!

I have tried many moisturizers for my face and have had trouble finding one that works. I have combination skin and it's hard to find a good mix that really hydrates my skin without making it over oily. I have recently tried clinique hydrating gel which works pretty well but doesn't seem to give me enough moisture.

Also I must mention I use a cheaper face wash, could that be the problem?
