I've found that the less chemicals the better, on my skin. I started using Desert Essence facial (https://www.desertessence.com/store/thoroughly-clean-face-wash-original) wash years ago—like, probably 15 years ago—and have never changed since; it's cleansing without being drying. Probably almost as long ago I started using Aubrey Organics' Rosa Mosqueta lotion (http://www.aubrey-organics.com/ProductInfo/091.aspx); it's their product for dry skin, but I love them, so I'd recommend trying whatever suits your skin. Then just recently—um, when I hit 30, sigh—I added Aubrey's night cream (http://www.aubrey-organics.com/ProductInfo/097.aspx) and eye cream (http://www.aubrey-organics.com/ProductInfo/150.aspx) to my regimen. I LOVE them. They're a bit expensive, so it's an indulgence, but my skin is so so so soft; and looks younger, too.

The other thing I'd say is screw sunscreen; everyone keeps talking about it as an essential thing, and I've tried, so many times, but man: it makes my skin break out like mad, and feels greasy, and just gross. So I gave it up.

I've (luckily) never really had skin that breaks out (mine's more dry) so I don't know if this will help or not. But that's what I do!
