The Bare Necessities

Last week I tried experimenting with changing up my skin care routine and it was an unqualified disaster. My face feels as thin and dry as a piece of paper, and I'm grumpy, and grateful for a couple of days off to hang around the house, slathered in moisturizer (see no. 7), recuperating.  My misadventures have made me appreciate the products that I've come to rely on, and in some cases have been saving graces for a girl with sensitive skin and over-processed hair.  Here's my list of the beauty basics that I use constantly and consistently.  Let me know if you have any faves....I always like a good recommendation :)
