What is your favorite face cream for smoothing/toning?

I'm looking for an all over skin cream that will tighten any fine lines and smooth skin all over. I look on the sephora site, but there are so many products, I don't even know which might be good!


Any reccomendations?

Arbonne's NutriMin C, Re9 system. Specifically for anti-aging, and if you could only get one product in that line, I would recommend the REcover Night Cream: http://www.arbonne.com/products/anti-agi鈥?/a>





Go to arbonne.com .





Yes, it is VERY pricey... but it lasts at LEAST a year and is a wonderful product. When it comes to makeup and skincare, I think you get what you pay for [to an extent - there are some cost-effective things that are great]. So divide $79 by 12 months and it costs approximately $6.50/month [less, if it lasts you longer than a year].





Personally, I can't afford to use the NutriMin C Re9 system right now, but if I could, I totally would.





The Arbonne Intelligence line is great, too, and cheaper.What is your favorite face cream for smoothing/toning?

Almond Delite





You can't do much better than almond milk cleansers if you have dry or aged skin. Almond oil lubricates and softens the skin, and glycerine helps it retain moisture.

Make the rose or lavender water by placing a small handful of dried organic rose petals or lavender in a glass jar. Add boiling water to cover. Let it stand overnight, then strain well. Combine the remaining ingredients in a glass jar and shake to blend. Dab on fingers and massage into your skin. Rinse with warm water.


Shelf life: 1 month in refrigerator.
