I personally like Aussie products for my hair. I don't use a lot of special creams and lotions, but I do like Oil of Olay for my face. I like a lot of different products for my body, mostly items from Body Works.

I like Janet use oil of olay products, but I think that may be for mature skin only...lol not sure. But my 19 yr. old does use my facial wipe cloths..lol at your age I always had combo skin nor/oily so I never had to use anything. Today at 50 I use a mosturizer but I still have normal skin/ oily skin.

I love the Dove facial pads. They have dove soap with mosturizer inside 2 layers... one soft, the other slightly abrasive so you can scrub well. I'm 52, though, so imagine my skin and yours would be quite different.

I use Dial bath gel with mosturizers. I have used it for a couple of yers and LOVE it. It's great for dry skin.

Hey! I am 22 also and I use Mary Kay. It has done a lot for my skin.. (I dont know if Im allowed to say but I also sell it and offer a discount) For my shampoo I use bed head brunette. I have been blonde my whole life and just went dark! I also use mary kay lotion. It doesnt make me feel sticky at all. Good luck!

Your diet is the best thing you can do for your face. Healthy foods and drinking a lot of water. The 2nd is not going to bed w/ your make-up still on and always washing gently, no scrubbing.

There are soooo many products on the market and with a little time and effort you will find which one's feel best on your face. You are very young now and what you love best now might not work as well let's say when you are in your 40's. So re-trying products might have to happen again later.

I myself have tried everything from low cost to high cost. Honestly, I find that Oil Of Olay products to be the best. Dove products also. And those are the least expensive. I've used products that cost me hundreds and well I just didn't find them to do anything "magic".

There are many light moisturizers now that don't make your face sticky. Just a few drops and gently smoothed over your face should do the trick.

Take this time and have fun picking out all kinds of stuff. Use one at a time that way if your face breaks out or you find it too heavy/sticky you know which product is causing it.

I agree with others here that Oil of Olay and Dove product are very good for the price. If they are available in Latvia, I'd suggest you try them. My daughter likes the Dove ones. I use Oil of Olay and more recently Laura Mercier. Sheryl is right though, the important thing is to eat properly, drink lots and lots of water and clean your face and moisturize at night. I wish I'd listened to my mother about this, but my skin is not too bad for the lack of care it received in the past.

Hope you have a long, youthful life!!! with beautiful skin!!

I've tried literally HUNDREDS of products, both expensive and inexpensive, and the ones I use now are my favorites...and the best part about them is you can get them at the drugstore!

I use:

Purpose gentle cleansing wash -- it's so gentle that you can even use it on your eyes to take your eye makeup off as you're washing your face

Purpose Moisturizer SPF 15 in the mornings

Neutrogena Moisturizer for Combination Skin OR Oil of Olay Firming Night Cream in the evenings

Neutrogena Eye Cream with Retinol under my eyes in the mornings and evenings

Vaseline on my lips in the mornings and on my lips and eyelids in the evenings

Dove haircare products

Jergens Ultra Healing Lotion in the mornings on my body and throughout the day on my hands -- I LOVE this lotion...thick yet not greasy at all, absorbs quickly

Stay out of the sun, don't smoke, drink lots of water, don't scrub your face, use sunscreen DAILY (at least SPF 15)....those are the best and simplest beauty secrets I can give.

That is too bad you can't get Oil Of Olay products where you are. How about Neutrogena products? As rebecca said, they have great ones!

I bet though you have special things we can't get here in the states for our faces. Have you found any that seem to work well for you?
