Gee, Chamy. You might as well put in a plug for the manufacturer and give us the names. Everybody else does.

Here's mine:

Oil of Olay with sun block.
L'Oreal Excellence protective ceramide-protein conditioner
Water, water, water.

American Crew, firm hold, but I use a certain methodology to make sure my hair doesn't get like barb wire when it dries up.........

Used right, it sort of keeps my mane in place

Somebody recommended me to use their pomade version, it wasn't as good.

I vote for the Alpha Hydrox line of products. I've been using them since I was in my teens and they are probably one of the best lines out there at a price much lower than department store brands and probably better too.

They make a line of AHA products in lotion, cream, oil, etc. They also have a cleanser and moisturizer to go with them.

I highly recommend the 12% soufflé. It makes my skin glow.

My regime is as follows:

morning: AH cleanser, souffle, and moisturizer.
evening: AH cleanser, retinol, and non-spf moisturizer.

Simple. Affordable. Affective.

Not an advertisement for the brand I just really like their products. I found out about them back in high school when I was working at a grocery store and a customer told me about them.

* SPF-50 (no particular brand)
* Heavier perfume (something with spice, like Dior's Dune... heavier perfumes just seem to react better to my higher body temperature... it's always a lighter scent in the Winter for me)
* A nice exfoliating body scrub for the shower, I like the Body Shop ones
* Mud facial masks for deep cleaning
* Essie nail polish in a cheery colour for giving myself a pedicure
