Since I've joined this form a few weeks ago, I haven't applied moisturizer to my face at all. I've chained my regime, well a few products that is and it seems that my skin feels quite nourished and hydrated that I feel that I don't need a moisturizer neither day or night.
In the morning I wash with a creamy cleanser, use my ACV toner, put my Juice Beauty serum on let that sink in, then my Vit-C serum let that sink in and apply my Clarins eye sunscreen and than my sunscreen on the face.
At night it's pretty much the same routine except the sunscreen.
So is skipping the moisturizer a bad thing for my skin? |

I haven't been using a moisturizer for ages either. After I've applied my vit C and sunscreen it already feels like there is enough on my skin, I'd just be too shiny if I used a moisturizer aswell to add another layer.
If you feel that your skin feels hydrated enough without adding a moisturizer then there is no need to use one aswell. Sometimes of a night if I feel I need something extra I use emu oil but my skin feels less congested now I don't use heavy creams. |

I have oily skin, and only have to moisturize around my eyes at night, unless I am in an arid climate. When I go down to Arizona, I can't seem to apply enough goo.

Same with my skin-in the summer I use Jurlique HRG and that all my skin seems to need every other night I use the Primivera Harmoney Gel Caps but only if Iam feeling dry. In the winter I will use a light moisterizer during the day and one at night because of the drying heat. But I use Dr H foundation and that has moisterizers in it.

Ladies you are all doing the right thing. If a person doesn't need a moisturizer, than theres no need to use one. Only the eyes and neck, of where theres no oil glands. Your skin's natural oils seem to be filling the bill. |

I have to disagree. I have read more doctor reports than I can poke a stick at and the general concensus for flawless skin is:
Moisturiser plus sunscreen. In other words, protect your skin from the sun and give it some moisture and you will never have wrinkles or discolourations. Mind you, this really applies to those in the less than 30 age group as past that age, damage may have already been done and then it is time to start repairing which is what I am trying to do. If I were back in my teens, I would be concentrating on the basics again - moisture plus sunscreen. |

I would have said that if you had oily skin - then maybe you could do without a moisturiser (but then again there are moisturisers made specifically for oily skins) - but if you had dry skin - then i would recommend a moisturiser just to balance your skin out.
I never used to use a moisturiser until 10 years ago - i never felt the need for it - because my acne was quite bad - now i can't imagine life without a moisturiser.
If you try the Decleor hydra floral - you will certainly be hooked on using a moisturiser - it does kind of make your skin glow.

I don't believe theres any need to "double up" meaning a moisturizer AND use of a sunscreen. Its overloading product on your skin. If your sunscreen is well formulated, with TONS of antioxidants in it, than there is no need to use a moisturizer underneath. Its a matter of preference. This is what I choose to do. |
