Absolutely agree. Also, does you friend have dry, normal, combination or oily skin? Does she have acne, sensitive skin or is she allergic to anything? Also there are so many price points, does she want high end products? Products available at the drugstore, Target, Walmart etc are cheaper than department store brands but that doesn't make them inferior. Also, places like The Body Shop, Bath and Body Works, L'Occitane, Aveda, Origins, Neal's Yard Remedies etc also have skin care ranges. There is so much to choose from, it's fun looking and buying but could be overwhelming too!

If she is a complete novice to skin care there are a few things to consider before buying anything and then she needs to plunge in and experiment to find what she likes.

I have very dry skin. Here is my routine:

Cleanser: Nutribiotic...like $8 from Sprouts...non-soap and not drying at all!

night/day/eye cream: Jason's 5000 U.D. Vitamin E Cream ($7 bucks from Sprouts and all organic...no animal testing!!!)

SPF for face over moisturizer, under makeup: MAC Prep and Prime With SPF 50...new product, just came out.

If I get a zit, I dab Kiehl's Blue Astringent Gel (I can't remember the exact name!! LOL) and it works great!

I have sensitive skin. I recently switched from my more expensive line to this (purely to save money...I liked the expensive one alot!). It was mostly good...but I was starting to feel a little dried out...and was breaking out a little more than normal....so I added the aveena positively radiance cleansing pads which are an AMAZING exfoliater....and aveeno skin clarifying toner. Based on how well those are working...thinking about switching the cleanser and moisturizer too. we'll see...

For eye cream I'm still using my expensive one....murad essential c eye cream with spf.

Agree. I've tried a ton of stuff that people recommended, but didn't do anything for me. When my esthetician recommended Cosmedix products for me. I didn't think they would work, but it did. So, now I'm obsessed with cosmedix products. I don't use anything else.
