Hmmm. I have finally given in to the need to pay attention to this stuff too. And while I don't use makeup on a regular basis, I have started using a mosturizer every day on my face that has SPF 30. And I use a nice face wash each day in the shower. Nothing froofy. Just something made for cleaning face skin properly. If you'd like, I will get you a couple of my favorite not-so-froofy skin products and send them to you in a care package. (It would be fun!) As for makeup, I have found a decent medium between the China-doll look and Nothing-But-What-God-Gave-Me. I particularly like Origins makeup line. They are expensive. But if you don't wear it often, its worth it. The foundation doesn't make you break out from having clogged pores. And doesn't feel all caked on. If you want to try it, I'll take you on a trip the next time you are in town. For mascara that doesn't make you turn into Tammy Faye, try going to the local pharmacy and looking for a clean mascara made by Maybelline or some such. The clear stuff works great if you just don't want to look like a reject from "Cabaret" every time you rub your eyes.
