Ladies-what's Your Face Lotion?

[jenvan]

Okay, so I had some wheat action going on in my Estee facial lotions... Arg. What facial moisturizers do you use? I typically like a light one with spf in day, and a heavier one at night. Ideas?

I'm not a big fan of facial lotions (I'm 26 with the propensity for the acne of a 16 year old), but I do like Alba's Aloe and Green Tea moisturizer. (It's really just about the only one I like.) It's very lightweight, and doesn't have any sunblock (I have an "indoors and no windows" job), so it might not be up your alley, but it's the only one I've tried so far that I really like. (The smell is fab too!)

I, too, used to use Estee Lauder products before going gluten-free--I love her stuff, but most of it is not gluten-free, unfortunately. I have very dry skin that is acne prone (a very odd combination), and I now use Neutrogena products. I use the oil-free moisturizer in the a.m. (it has SPF 15) and the Visibly Even moisturizer in the p.m. There is a list on the board of gluten-free Neutrogena products (I think it was from March sometime, so you may have to search back a ways), and you can also email them, and they will send you a file of all of their gluten-free products--most of their stuff is gluten-free, which I greatly appreciate!

I use Suave lotions. They are gluten-free and not "heavy" on my face. I have never had problem skin ~ yes, sickening to my sister with horrible acne, etc. ~ so I may not be the best judge of a good lotion. My rountine is dove soap and suave lotion. Plain, simple, cheap!! I am 42 and have great skin, so I must be doing something right!!

Marcelle has some great face moisturizers. And I now use Eucerin SPF 30 in the day (gluten-free and lightweight) because I found that the Neutragena one was too thick for my sensitive skin... But I've even gotten my boyfriend onto Marcelle products they are so good (but they might only be available in Canada and Europe)

Burt's Bees makes a good one called Beeswax Moisturizing Creme. It's not too heavy, not too light. Just right. Nice, subtle fragrance, also. I don't think it offers sun protection, though.
