Also, wearing sunglasses will help keep that delicate skin around your eyes from sun damage. Sun damage paired with squinting all the time causes those deep crow's feet.

Talking I am a guy

This is not for me as i am male. There are some male products available in the market now a days. But i am always not interested about beauty cream. But in winter i have to use some petroleum jelly in my lips for the cracks.

I didn't start with moisturizer until my late-20's, and those were light variations. In my teens and earlier-20's I had beautiful skin but it was very oily (I wore that 70's "sheen" really well).

I use Merle Norman's 'Superlube' on my crow's feet at night.

Im fair skinned, and try to stay out of the sun (when Im in the sun I have a big floppy hat/sunglasses)

What say you, ladies?
Lucky you! I have always had very dry sensitive skin so I have been using a moisturizer for as long as I can remember. Neutrogena works the best for my skin. Im a medium color.

Probably 13 or 14. I had combination skin, so I used Johnson & Johnson Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer, since it hydrated the parts that were flaky, but also had salicylic acid to combat any breakouts. I wore that through my twenties, and now, in my early 30s, My skin is less oily, so I don't really need the breakout prevention anymore. Currently, my only breakouts are hormone-related, so a topical treatment won't do much anyway.

I now use Olay Regenerist, because even though my skin is mostly unlined at 33, I've always worn prescription glasses and been unable to wear sunglasses most of the time, so I have some fine crows' feet from squinting in the sun.

The best thing I've ever done for my skin is refuse to tan.

Body lotion and hand lotion is not formulated to use on the face. Too thick, depending on the brand, it might start some breakouts if you are prone to them. Oil of Olay, Nutrisse and Neutrogena are all good for your age group. The price of their basic moisturizers hover around $10 to $15 if you buy at a discount department store.

I have been using an appropriate facial cleanser and moisturizer since I was 12. 20 yes later my skin looks great, many think I'm much younger than I am. I know it has to do with taking care of my skin.

I started using Oil of Olay twice a day at age 12. I always had very dry, tight skin and I use it every time my face gets wet or washed. I'm 42 and most people think I'm younger. Ole'!

Because I started using moisturizer and taking care of my skin at such a young age, at the age of 59, I look 20 years younger. I do not have any wrinkles or crows feet.

Wow, I forgot Id started this thing. lol

The brand I use is the cheap-o kind (Suave), so it isnt thick at all. Its actually lighter than some of the brands Ive tried that you mentioned.

So far, my skin HATES Oil of Olay (I have a nice whopper of a zit because of that stuff!), and Neutrogena felt greasy/sticky. Havent tried Nutrisse.

Ive never had the Monster Zit problem with my cheapo stuff.
