I prefer coconut myself.
jojoba oil works great too.

Me too. I have tried many different kinds of products and Burt's Bees seems to work the best for me.

I'm probably the only guy who uses facial moisturizer, but my dermatologist recommended Cetaphil (the smaller bottle for your face, not the big bottle for your whole body). I use it morning and night, all year round. More important than the moisturizer is the SPF 30 (or 50?) rating. Putting sunscreen on your face daily will help keep you looking young into your 40s and 50s. Tanning may be cool in your teens and 20's, but you will look old and wrinkled by the time you hit 35.

One size does NOT fit all here.
There are ways to cope with all types of skin, they just require fine tuning.

Any type of soap that strips the skin will render dryness, whether it is natural/organic or not. I don't mean natural/organic as in alternatives to soap, I'm talking straight up mother Earth when I think natural/organic.

I use Vanicream Lite. I have extremely sensitive skin and this doesn't break me out or irritate my skin. My skin is dry from using Retin-A so I could probably stand to use the heavier cream that Vanicream makes, but I'm too lazy to switch. It's inexpensive and you can get it from the drugstore. I have the pump jar which costs about $13. They make a gluten free soap and have a day moisturizer with spf.
I've been using my daytime spf moisturizer for 10 or so years. It's Murad Day Perfecting Cream with spf 30. Doesn't irritate or cause breakouts for me.

Hi! Yes, I use the same for both winter and summer, and I live in NY so weather conditions can be either extreme. I would say I have normal skin and I use L'oréal skin expertise day lotion Future e with an sof of 15 for normal to dry skin. Inexpensive and works perfect for me!
