Nora, try Aveeno. The Postively Radiant wash and moisturizer work best for my oily skin. My sister has dryinsh skin that tends to break out and she uses the Blemish Control. She says it's the best stuff she's ever used. Really gentle and it's just wonderful and not too hard on the pocketbook. And use it for 6-8 weeks before changing again. (Bottle lasts me about 2 1/2 months)

Nora, do you have a Khiels in Boston?
Once I was breaking out from stage makeup (and I don't usually break out) and I went in and they hooked me up with a few different plans to try all in sample form. They rock.

I have dryish/sensitive/breakout skin, so I might try Blemish Control...

Nora, are you relatively sure that your breakouts are breakouts and not rosacea? My rosacea has a tendency to look like itty bitty zits when it get out of control.

it's not even the breakouts, it's the lines, and the bags, and the tension, and the sallowness and the being too tired to tweeze as regularly as I should, and the blah and the glavin.

The Aveeno will be your new best friend for the sallow and the bags - I swear it. On my mother.
As for the tweezing, I think that that is a bi-weekly thing you should afford - even if it means putting it on your credit card. For me, my eyebrows not being groomed makes the rest of my face - no matter what - look like shit. So, they get waxed. Because the amount of grief I give myself and the low self-image until I get them done again is worth the $$.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I learned to do my own eyebrows. Get it done once right, then just tidy up strays as they show up. Saves $$$ and still looks purty.
I also swear by Aveeno. When my mom's skin went wonky form the chemo, it really helped.

Annabel is an insanely healthy child.
So why does she always find a way to get sick enough to see a doctor on the eve of a trip? Probably a Murphy's Law clause, huh?
(No biggie--just some insect bites that seem to be getting worse instead of healing, so the nurse thought they might be infected, and a dry cough and sniffle. At least this time we're getting her seen by her normal doc during normal office hours, none of this running around to the emergency clinic at Children's Hospital at 9:00 at night.)
