I have been using Clinique 3-step system for about 2 years, but I was wondering if I would be better off with something else?

I have relatively clear skin, a combination skin type, but open/enlarged pores. I'm 30 (if that makes any difference). I have a couple of fine lines under my eyes, and I do notice a little baggage under the eye area when I'm tired.

If you really want cheap, here goes;

Cleanser;

Full fat live yoghurt; massage into face and remove with damp cotton wool pads, repeat.

Toner;

Pure rose water, apply to dampened pads and starting at collar bones cover skin in upward sweeping motion.

Eye make up remover;

Olive oil, dip cotton bud into oil and gently roll down the lasheses remove with damp pad.

Moisturiser;

Shea Butter
Macadamia Oil
Rosehip Oil

combined in equal parts this is a feast for your face.

Nothing will be kinder to your skin than the above and costs alot less then the hogwash we are sold on the high streets.

I have converted to Ruby's school of beat-tea and can honestly say, despite the occasional breakout, my skin has never been better!
