I mean there's so many different kinds to choose from. There's a cream for this and a serum for that, buy the time you get to the check out line you have about 10 items.
How do you know which ones you need and what your don't.

To Dustin D:
Men are allowed to use Mary Kay as well. A lot of the products are targeted towards women, but men can use them too.

I have found out hundreds of dollars later, Noxema is the best! The old fashion Noxema!

I definitely do- there are so many products to choose from! Unless you have problem-skin, all you really need is a gentle face-wash, moisturizer/eye-cream, and daily sunscreen.
Dermatologists will always say Cetaphil Gentle Daily Cleanser is the hands-down best cleanser there is because it is so gentle. However, if you have oily or acne-prone skin, you will probably want something more like Clean & Clear Foaming Facial Cleanser. Similarly, Cetaphil isn't great for removing makeup, for which you might have better luck with a foaming face wash. I personally use Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser.
Next, you will need a great moisturizer- it is not necessary to buy a seperate eye cream as long as the one you have will not irritate your eye area if you dab it around there. I love Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, but if you are looking for something less expensive, try Dove or Olay brands, which are great.
Finally, it is important to apply sunscreen everyday. The easiest way to do this is to get a daily moisturizer which includes at least an SPF 15. Try Dove Facial Lotion SPF 15, or for more protection Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30. Apply these to your face, neck, chest and the backs of your hands to prevent skin damage and premature aging!
These 3 items cover the basics- some other products that are nice to have but not necessary are an exfoliating cleanser (St. Ives Apricot Scrub is a popular favorite) and zit cream to treat random blemishes.
Overall, I would say you can rarely go wrong when you choose products by Cetaphil, Aveeno or Olay.

No I don't have any problems with choosing my skin care products. I keep it basic & simple. You don't have to spend a lot of $$$ just make sure your products are suited for your skin type & skin issues. Most product lines a fine. I cleanse with cleanser, right now I'm using Oil of Olay Total Effects cleanser $6, 2x a day. Then I use Alpha-Hydrox (anti-aging) Oil of Olay daily glowing moisturer (day) And Most Important Sunscreen. Night Cleanse, then once or twice week I use Aloette's warming pumpkin mask. My night time moisturer is Anew Line & Wrinkle Corrector, it makes your skin sooooo smooth. I don't purchase an eye cream b/c they're really expensive but I do use my moisturizer around my eyes. I choose my products because they're inexpensive & mainly b/c they smell good. The one product I never change is the Alpha-Hydrox, I've been using it for 14 yrs & my skin has cleared up dramatically. I'm 39 & I have no lines, wrinkles, or blemishes to speak of. And my skin was terrible before. Always, always wear sunscreen & never ever tan. Other than that you should be fine. It's basically a matter of preference. I would never spend crazy $$ on products even if I could afford it, they aren't really better. But if you start early & take care of your skin you will never regret it. You will be beautiful. Good Luck.

You are so right about having a hard time to decide. I hate that every few months there's something new in the stores and every month in the magazines, they are boasting a new product.
I think if you have someone close to you that you've seen the products working for them would be a good test to see if its good for you. Or you can just go to the dermatologist and get an individualized consultation on products good for you.

Your pores and skin seems to be gentle, mixture dry. You get oily interior the t-zone. i could exfoliate with baking soda. sure, baking soda. combination a tsp. in along with your purifier. do no longer scrub, rubdown in basic terms for some seconds - 30 sec. this could somewhat exfoliate your face w/o over drying. a reliable glycolic acid product is MD distinctiveness facial lotion I, yet costly. i like this and does no longer be w/o it. attempt utilizing products via Oil of Olay or Neutrogena. the two agencies do extensive learn. Neutrogena is greater for zits pores and skin, yet have somewhat good moisturizer's. Neutrogena healthful pores and skin is sweet. Oil of Olay gentle moisturizer is sweet too, in basic terms $6.00. maximum critically, do no longer late it. All someone somewhat desires is a reliable purifier, moisturizer, SUNBLOCK!!, and glycolic or retin-A for struggling with wrinkles and cellular-turnover. i wish this enables!! good luck!!

I did until I found out about the web site www.makeupalley.com It is a site that people go there and rate products. Before I purchase makeup, face creams etc... I go there and see what others say about it.

Well, most drugstore brands test on animals, which is a big no-no for me. St. Ives, however doesn't..and I love their skincare products. Or I just drive over to my Whole Foods Market and buy natural skincare products from them.

ME TOO!!
I usually go back home & do some research on the net. You can do some research on http://www.Amazon.com . Find the one suits you by reading the product's reviews/feedbacks or you can see their ratings. Pick the one that has higher ratings! If you can't find the product on Amazon. Google '[product's name] reviews'. If you still can't find it, Google again '[product's name] feedbacks'. That's my trick! Works for me!! That's why all products that I'm using now works just as described!
GOOD LUCK!!
