Liz earle cleanse and polish is the greatest ever but you have to order it because I don't think you can get it anywhere in Australia. But it is amazing and will last a long time and comes with a polishing muslin cloth.

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour cream for the most moisturizing amazing cream ever on the face of the earth. It's a low end cream but every model/beauty therapist uses it.

And then here's where it gets expensive. Estee Lauder Advanced Night repair Serum, it will do everything and get rid of any blemishes and helps even out skin tone and everything and it just makes your skin feel the most amazing ever.

And for a day moisturiser with a high spf, Olay Complete Defence Daily UV Moisturising Lotion SPF 30+

I've used Olay Complete Defence Daily UV Moisturising Lotion and it's a pretty good product for it's price.

Personally I really like Clinique's Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer. It's a bit pricy but I think it makes my skin feel better than the Olay one and it has light coverage too.

If you want to brighten/whiten then you could try some bb creams because those are good too (depending on brand).

I've been using a copper peptide solution for the last 3 weeks (along with a glycolic daily cleanser and moisturiser every 2 days) and so far it's working really well. the solution promotes collagen production which reduces the redness of my skin (fairly natural given my scottish heritage but if you can do something to moderate it, why not?) and has almost got rid of some scars I had while keeping the skin smooth and lovely. great stuff

Sounds great! Do you make these solutions yourself or do you purchase them?

Well I have the usual problem. I cant seem to get rid of acne at all. I’ve tried every method that gets talked about around the internet including the hot towel method by which some people swear and didnt get any improvement whatsoever. I really hope someone has some new insights for me regarding this topic.

I buy them. Copper Peptide/Glyceric Cleanser/Moistueriser all $30 each and while they look like a small bottle, I've been using them twice daily for 3 months now and I'm not even a third of the way through them.

I get them from Clear Skin Care Clinics. They have a list of locations here http://clearskincareclinics.com.au/locations/

I always try to use natural ways for protection of my skin rather then creams. I drink plenty of water and uses fruits for my skin care. I now that it's the best way to protect your skin.

Argan oil is extremely rich in tocopherols , phenolics and carotenes, all of which are very powerful antioxidants, and also squalene which is a powerful skin moisturizer. The antioxidant content of argan oil protects the skin against the damaging effects of the UV radiation in sunlight, which would lead to serious wrinkles and leathering of the skin if nothing was done to prevent it. Many pale skinned people in the hot states of the USA end up with tough leathery and wrinkled skin because of these effects of the sun.
