Skin care advices needed

chrichri

I just went to the lancome at the Bay to buy a skin care product for my mother in law today...i bought a "renergie micolift r.a.r.e " for her birthday. It is so so so expensive.
I finally realize when women get older and older, their skin care product costs more and more...

As a mid-20 woman, all i use is biore 4 in one cleanser.... Should i start buying and using more skin care products???
Hehe.. i don't even know what is toner is for... when the comestic sales asked me what skin care products i want to buy for my mother in-law, i was like... uh, i don't know.

I guess if i start to use skincare products, i would prefer a line or a brand that is more affordable..
What should i be buying??? hehe...

I am also looking for a compact foundation. I have been using Missha compact foundation. I like it very much, but it is almost done now. I am looking for a thin and smooth compact foundation, which costs similar to Missha.. ANY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED...

THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL PRETTY GALS HERE...

do you only use a cleanser? what about moisturizers? i'd say you should invest in both a day time moisturizer (with spf) and a night cream~
if you can afford it, go for department store brands~ if not, drugstore ones are fine too. just make sure you get the ones that're right for your skin type (normal, dry, or oily).
