Radiant Skin Care

Is expensive, department store skin care better than cheaper, drug store brands?

I currently use a lot of Fresh skin care and my wallet feels it. I use Crème Ancienne which retails at 5 and other products like the eye cream and sun block with nothing under . More like . It’s insane. Because my crème was made my eunuch monks in a monastery in the Carpathian Mountains I have to pay more for it? Urf.

However, I was taught the more you pay for skincare the better the results. Is that necessarily true? Are the more expensive brands that much better than drugstore kinds? What are your favorite brands on either side of the fence?

Discuss.
I’m serious about the monks. From the Fresh website:

"furthering the legacy of the formula, Fresh has chosen to handcraft Crème Ancienne in remote monasteries in Europe."

Maybe they weren’t eunuchs but I digress. Hrm..can you really get that from a drug store brand?

What is the proper way to care for your skin? What is a facial?

For a woman!

What is included in a daily facial/skin care routine?

Does it go like this?

Wash with scrubbing stuff
Wash with facial soap
Wash with cleanser
Put on lotion
Put on eye cream
Put on sunscreen
Put on makeup

How is this supposed to go?

What exactly is a facial anyway?
Can I buy the stuff I need at the store?

Its a surprise for my wife!
