To stick with my budget moisturiser?

In town yesterday looking at some of the fancy beauty counter moisturizers, I was tempted to buy a fancy number at £26...

But then this morning looking at my skin, it's not dry (been drinking more water which seems to make a huge difference amd don't drink alcohol), nor do I have any spots.

I'm just using the nivea soft one with vit E and jojoba, mixed in with a wee bit of suncream, was 2 or 3 pounds.

But the shiny packaging and lovely smelling potions were tempting...they're just a marketing con aren't they? convince me not to spend £26Grin

I'm a bit unconvinced at how much sun damage we need protecting from in England in winter....as anything I've tried, especially moisturiser, leaves my skin feeling horribly oily and wrecks my makeup

So funny! I agree that advice for one in England in winter shouldn't be the same as one in Spain in summer. You might find your need for moisturizer changes as you mature. My skin is very different at 47 than it was at 30. Smile

It's more about what works for your skin that how nice it smells etc.
