keeping skin young!

I'm still relatively young (in my 20s) but being a mother has definitely aged me! I never used to wash my face as I didn't wear make up but now I am to try and pretend to be a normal person and work! So far I have just been using DS's baby wipes to clean my face but am thinking I ought to be washing my face with something proper? Also I need a good moisturiser as I've never used one before (although I am using tinted moisturiser now is that enough?). Any great product recommendations? am willing to spend some money but not loads (i.e. like around a tenner - although I have no idea how much these things cost). Thanks so so much.

I use boots no7 hot cloth cleanser, I wipe it off with cut up baby muslins.

Moisturiser is a bit trial and error really, you have to try a few and see what suits really.

A silk pillowcase off amazon will help as it doesnt dry your skin at night (cotton is very absorbant).

Finally, wear a sunscreen everyday, even in winter. I still get asked for ID to buy alcohol and painkillers but I'm 35.

Thanks Fluffy. Do you use a toner as well? I've never really understood what that is. :)

I get ID'd frequently too and I'm 37 but I'm a stjudent and dress like one. I have no cleansing routine. I take my eye make up off with Vaseline and often leave my foundation on overnight, probably 4 times a week. If I moisturise I use aqueous cream. I have no wrinkles or anything. It must be luck.

I used to use one, but I use a big bottle of spring water now which I use like toner. I dont like the tap water being on my skin too long.
