What work for my skin, and what don't

Am trying to save $ on my skincare products – origins is good but costly, so I’m going to experiment with another combination of products in the evening:
1) origins cleanser
2) any toner (other than hada labo cuz it doesn’t add moisture to my skin nor cleanse any traces of dirt)
3) olay regenerist serum (have been using this for many years – affordable and good)
4) Origins A Perfect World -> Olay micro-sculpting cream.

The tricky thing Olay(4) is not that cheap. It’s under $50 cuz it’s $49.90 and when Origins is having am set or fully redeemable facial promotion, it’s really worth it! And I can always buy it from the airport. Was initially considering Simple’s anti-ageing cream but reviews haven’t been as good. It’s still back to Olay. Will try and share the results later. That is if I decided to make that switch.

There’s this website about.com that raves about the cheap n good Cetaphil products which work well for sensitive skin, and most stuff are under $10!

Talking about skincare, how can I not mention New York Skin Solutions? Bought 3 trial sessions @ $100 each cuz they were so hardsell and persistent and won’t let you out of their office until they get something out of you – which they NEVER EVER will again. The therapists are generally ok skilful but not this is not exceptional visible in the results. After my 2ndsession with them last week, the therapist tried to convince me to sign on for another 2 sessions, and that my skin is withering I needed to purchase and use their treatment essence ($65) at once! They can go and fly kite…

Actually after my chicken pox, I stopped going for facial for a good 6 months and stuck to DIY cuz too lazy to go out just for facial and lie there for 2 hours. My skin actually improved. Maybe b'cos all the toxins in my body were purged out togetehr with the poxes? I guess I picked it up all over just to pamper myself and unwind. But believe me, a good workout works just as well!
