Skincare Regimen

I have to admit, I am really bad when it comes to sticking with one thing. I use to think products my friend's used would work on me but man was I wrong. All my friend's have flawless skin and they can use a bar soap and never have any skin problems. I, on the other hand, have oily, sensitive and acne prone skin. I have to be careful what I use on my face or else I'll break out. I never really understood what products worked best with the different skin types so I thought using anything that says oil-free would be good for me. Well the problem with that is if you use to much oil-free products, it strips all the oil off your face which makes it produce more oil. As a teenager I switched products constantly but I stuck with Cetaphil for the past 5 years. It worked great for me because it's so gentle but I noticed this year that the lotion isn't as mosturizing as it use to and the cleanser just isn't cutting it for me no more. So I've been on a search for a different skincare line and thought I should spend a little more money on it since I am getting to that age where I should start looking for anything that says anti-aging and worry about what I put on my face.  Early last week, my mom and I went to the mall and I wanted to check out lancome. My mom's been using lancome for as long as I can remember and she loves it. I thought why not, I can try it out and if I don't like it, I can always return it. I got the Lancome Gel Pure Focus Oil Control Cleansing Gel, Tonique Douceur Alcohol Free Freshener, and Genifique Youth Activating Cream Serum. I am in love! I saw a big difference in couple days. My skin is clearer, brighter, smoother in texture, softer, hydrated, etc. After I put on the Cream Serum I can't stop touching my face, it's so light-weight but very moisturizing leaving my skin very soft. I don't wake up the next morning with a greasy face.
