Looking for inexpensive good facial care ideas:

I ran out of the last of my Clinque facial moisturizer this morning. I ran out of toner a few days ago. I need something to replace these (I am 50 and vain, after all ;-) ) but I am extremely economically challenged at the moment. Add to the mix is that I have sensitive skin, which has translated into skin irritation when I've tried to use regular body moistureizer on my face. :-( So, do any of you out there have some ideas of using inexpensive ingrediants and making your own toner/mositurizer? Do you know of any good websites that talk about this topic? Given the state of things, making stuff from ingrediants on hand would be preferred, but I'm also open to suggestions for inexpensive commercial products that you've had good experiance(s) with.

Thanks in advance!

Something that sounds weird but works is making a scrub from dried milk (just add a little water and work it into a paste. Wipe on, wipe off. It has both vitamin A and D that is often added to those creams. Just be sure to rinse it all off.

Works as a toner and cleaner, and is dirt cheap.
