I've never been interested in wearing much makeup, so when I found myself staring at hundreds of moisturizer choices on the isle at Walmart, I was super overwhelmed. Which to choose? What kind is right for me? They all seemed to call to women thirty years older than me. What do I use NOW?
I asked my friends Rebekah and Jenny about this, and they were amazed at my naivety. Apparently I've been destroying my face using salicylic acid for my acne all these years. We decided I needed a major woman intervention program, and ended up having a Spa Day at my place yesterday.
We steamed our faces over pots of rosemary water, applied honey and oatmeal face masks, as well as egg yolk masks. We also exfoliated our lips, and gave our hands some incredible moisturizing.
But at the end of the day, my question still remains: what product is best for a 20-something girl with normal to oily skin? So I'm reaching out to all of you now - what do you use, what do you suggest I should use, where do I go from here?

Cetaphil baby.
I've had 2 dermatologists recommend it.
Actually, I use dove cleanser (its cheap and a brand I adore) in a tube, and then I use cetaphil moisturizer. I like it because a little goes a long way and my skin feels normal afterward, not oily or creamed like candy.
i'm not an expert at all either--i'm like you, i get overwhelmed in the aisles at wal-mart, especially since i 've always wondered if it really mattered what i got...they're all just trying to sell me something, aren't they? just recently, though, i decided i had better start doing something to save what life i might have left in my skin and therefore started to use an under-eye gel at night and a moisturizer in the morning. i use oil of olay. not necessarily super cheap, but a little goes a long, long way. i still wonder if it really matters...
Angie, Kamille Vance worked at a booth the mall, maybe Clinique, and I remember her saying how important it is to always use a sun screen under your makeup or use a moisturizer that has a sun screen in it. I guess it is the sun's rays that give you the worst wrinkles!
