Hi Wen ladies! You all seem like such a friendly bunch, and very welcoming to a new poster. I've been using Wen for about 2 years and love what it's done for my hair. I've also used Purity cleanser and various other Philosophy products for my skincare for the past 15 plus years. The Purity is now drying my skin out, the moisturizers are making my face break out, and it's all going downhill. Either Philosophy has changed or I've changed or both! I adore Chaz and I've heard him say numerous times that he uses his oils from head to toe after showering. He uses his body cleansers with the clarisonic on his face, followed by Kate Somerville and Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle, to which he adds 5 drops of his own oils. This has been stewing in my head for the past few weeks, as I've become more and more disenchanted with my Philosophy. I'm intrigued by turning to Wen for this overhaul, as opposed to a bunch of various brands, like in the way Josie Maran's brand is all based on the argon oil. Simplification! I also trust Chaz and his integrity to me is evident.

I have read through many pages of the Wen forum, and also did a search. Wen as skincare has been touched on here and there. There was also a really good thread from 2011 on this topic. Since it is now 2013, and in the interest of 'seeing it all in one place', I'm asking you to tell me about your experince with this. I have very good (but sensitive) skin, and do not look my age of 44. 'High-performance' and 'anti-aging' and 'advanced' skincare is almost always way too harsh for me. Do you use the oils on your face as moisturizers? Someone mentioned the RTM as a toner. The body cleansers as facial cleansers? And which ones? It seems to me the CA would be great for this, and very cleansing. POM is my favorite CC and so I've used it for the past few days on my face, without any adverse reactions.

Have any of you made the full leap from great Wen hair to great Wen skin? Thanks to all in advance for your guidance. This Wen forum is fabulous!!!
