I don't know what I said that is making others think the hydrating products I use is causing my face to dry out   My face went from oily to normal to dry over a period of years.  I've had dry and dehydrated skin for 2-3 years.  Yes, my skin is dry without the products.  Did I say with?   Rut ro, sorry about that.

I had to get up and out at 8am today.  The things I'll do for my cold brew!

I had just put on my "night face" 4 hours earlier.  When I got up at 8 and started to rinse my face with cold water, I looked at it and decided I liked the way it look dewy.  Not greasy, but hydrated and had a bit of a glow.  I decided to leave it lol  I've always been a matte finish girl but today I may be reconsidering a natural slightly dewy finish.

Oh the great water debate (sigh).  Don't make me admit to not drinking water.  I DO drink water.  The water I drink has coffee in it or fruit flavors.  I drink water at dinner and when going out to eat because I refuse to pay $2+ for tea.  But I don't drink enough liquid of any kind during the day.   Fruits and veggies, uh, no but I do take vitamins that have fruits and veggies in them   If my husband would let me, I'd live on protein shakes and coffee.

YES!  I love love love all my Glow Recipe Watermelon products.  I too use the moisturizer.  I usually use it during the day but last night (4am) I used it instead of my Naturium moisturizer and woke up at 8 with a dewy glow that I left on (didn't rinse my face with cold water).  That must have been the difference this morning but I don't think I can rely on that particular moisturizer for fine lines.  It seems to do a great job but is it doing a great job on a deeper level?

I have large pores and found that Benefit brand PoreFessional minimizng primer works very well for me.  It does a great job blurring large pores.

@monicakm  The pills will not do  the same....fruits and veggies have such a high water content. You are experiencing the consequences of your actions....everybody does. No lectures/no judgement....each of us will follow our own path.

I know.  About 3 years ago I just stopped having any interest or desire to eat and EVERY gathering seems to be centered around food.

Love, Love, Love the Tatcha "balm" primer.  Goes on so nice and makes my skin feel like silk!

@haddon9  - I would love to try this primer.  HSN carries it and I have a 20% off coupon that expires today.  Maybe I'll try it.

I don't have large pores but enjoy this primer (not as much as Hourglass tho).  I bought the tinted hydrating version.
