Facial wash

[shazzabell]

Can you recommend a good moisturising facial wash? My skin has become very tight and dry in the colder weather and although I've been using one that's supposed to be moisturising, it isn't helping.

Use a good quality cleansing milk - Clarins is good but a bit expensive - I wash it off with water. Then a good moisturing face cream afterwards. Nivea is as good as most. I think it is better to use two products rather than get a moisturising facial wash - the water will wash off anything moisturising anyway and the skin will be dry.

Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish is absolutly fabulous. It is not cheap however is brilliant!

I would recommend Clarins too - i use their "gentle foaming cleanser" followed by their day cream

pehaps you should be using a good cream cleanser/moisturiser? i use a pretty cheapo face wash, cause i know it gets all the crap off my face. then i use olay beauty fluid as a cleanser, stick a bit on a cotton wool pad and sweep over your face. it gets the last of the grime off and leaves your skin lovely and moisturised without feeling greasy. its a great product.

I'd also recommend Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish. It's not a facial wash, but a cream cleanser, that you massge on to your skin, and then remove with a damp muslin cloth. I never got on with cream cleansers before and always used a wash, which dried out my skin, but this one is great and my skin never feels dry or 'tight' anymore.

Thanks for your answers. I normally do the cleanse, tone and moisturise thing, but when I'm tired, or can't be bothered, I prefer to just "wash and go".
I'll check out the Liz Earle and Clarins ones anyway. Thanks again for all your suggestions :)
