I read on the back of some product that you're supposed to wash, exfoliate, and moisturize, in that order, but that seemed like an awful lot of work to do at 5:30am when your foot's caught in your pants and your toothpaste is dripping off the brush onto the floor and the sounds of the shower have woken up your nephew, who has a knack for screaming loudly. I just wash with some Neutrogena face stuff and then use a little lotion. It hasn't stopped every unsightly pimple -- what can? :| -- but my cheeks are now, like, baby-butt soft. The boys like to feel them. >:D
