I’ve always had a problem finding a good facial moisturiser. Overall my skin is oily, so in summer just rose hip oil is enough, but in winter my cheeks develop dry spots, and somehow my T-zone is both oily AND dry. So blackheads, greasiness, and flaky bits… the worst of both worlds! It took me a while, but I found …
I don’t know why it’s taken so long for me to review this, since it’s on high rotation in my facial cleanser carousel (I have 9 different face cleansers in my shower at the moment, and uses whatever my skin feels like that day… yeah, I probably have a problem).

3268zauber Vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) can be found in lots of foods (vegetables, nuts, oils (e.g. sunflower), seeds, wholegrains)… and lots of lotions! What’s it doing there?
