admin December 10th, 2010

I have used all of these products:

Neutrogena fresh cream cleanser [oil free]
Stridex Pads
Clearasil ultra
Clean & Clean continuous results
Johnson & johnson purpose soap
Proactive

I have never taken care of my skin. Should I start now?

admin November 27th, 2010

I’m 21 years old..soon to be 22.
I’ve used one cleaner before when I was younger to get rid of acne. But for years I have not really done anything. I have combination skin(dry cheeks oily forehead and t zone) I have visible pores on my cheeks and some pink/redness on my cheek area and my nose. I till get pimples on my temple and cheek area. usually on the side I sleep on.

I guess I just don’t know what kind of skin care products or routine I should get. I’ve been watching a lot of youtube videos of skin care routines by girls and It makes me want to start taking care of it now. Is it too late? And should I be getting wrinkle cream and everything? Because Honestly.. I’m lost and I would appreciate anyone’s help. I will try anything if you recommend it. Department store or drug store. I just need to be pointed to the right direction :)

Boots Botanics, Biore and Neutrogena…?

admin October 6th, 2010

I’ve been looking for new facial products to use to replace the ones that I currently use now that are mediocre to somewhat dismal.
My skin type: Combination (oil prone in the t-zone and normal to dehydrated in the cheeks), acne-prone and mild sensitivity.

I am in need of a new day and night moisturizer, eye cream, facial scrub, face masks and MAYBE a toner to use at night

There are a few products I came across, and I’m just wondering if anyone has used any of them and what your thoughts were (please include your skin type as well)

- Boots Botanics Purifying Face Scrub
- Boots Botanics In-Shower Facial Polish
- Boots Botanics conditioning clay mask
- Boots Botanics Quenching Face Mask
- Boots Face rosewater toner
- Boots Botanics Complexion Refining Day Moisture Lotion SPF 12
- Biore SkinPreservation See the Future fortifying eye cream
- Biore SkinPreservation even smoother microderm exfoliator
- Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Night Cream

So, if you have used any of these products, or something similar (meaning designed to be for the same skin issues or give similar results) then please give your feedback, thanks!

Btw, I am 18 and living in Canada (the Boots brand is available at the Shoppers Drug Mart here if any Canadians didn’t know already)

What are your favorite facial skin care products?

admin September 7th, 2010

My Favorite Facial Skin Care Products:
my favorite facial cleanser — MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Apple Brightening Cleanser (for hyperpigmentation and age spots) and MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ White Cranberry Cleanser (for my oily t-zone)
my favorite toner — MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Apple Brightening Mist (for hyperpigmentation and age spots) and MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Fruit Enzyme Mist (for my oily t-zone)
my favorite serum — MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Apple Brightening Serum (for hyperpigmentation and age spots), MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Perfect C Serum (to reduce wrinkles on my forehead) and MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ NoTox Anti-Wrinkle Serum (to reduce wrinkles on my forehead and it is cheaper than getting Botox injections and works great but it is not an over-night miracle serum)
my favorite exfoliant — MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Fruit Enzyme Scrub
my favorite masks — MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Guava Cactus Mask (for forehead wrinkle reduction and moisture for my cheeks) and MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Cranberry Mud Mask (for my oily t-zone)
my favorite peel — MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Apple Brightening Peel
my favorite moisturizer — MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Supreme Polypeptide Cream (unscented for my sensitive cheeks) (for incredible forehead wrinkle reduction and great moisture boosting results) and MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ Oil Free Grapefruit Cream (for my oily t-zone)

http://www.mychelleusa.com/

Some of MyChelle Dermaceuticals’ products are expensive like the Supreme Polypeptide Cream (in either scented or unscented) which is for a small bottle but they work to fight off wrinkles on my forehead that I am too young to have and that is what matters to me. I can’t afford Botox and I know now how not to make those facial expressions that help to cause those unflattering lines on the forehead.
Hyperpigmentation is discoloration caused by the sun and from aging which prevents you from having that flawless porcelain skin. I am only in my thirties so I am doing all that I can to look young.
I love to use pure aloe vera on my face too. I don’t like the aloe vera that is sold at Target.

My favorite aloe vera is Aubrey Organics’ Pure Aloe Vera.

My favorite eye makeup remover is Aubrey Organics’ Makeup Remover.

I need to start using products for the broken capillaries on my nose and under my eyes.

Dry, rough patches on my face; help!?

admin September 7th, 2010

Lately I’ve finally gotten my acne under control, but these mysterious dry patches keep showing up. My skin is normal in my T-zone area and outer face, but I am getting dry patches near my mouth. I have tried exfoliating, moisturizing, and have religiously been applying Vaseline to these areas. Occasionally the patches dissapear, but they show up within 1-2 days. It is hard for me to put makeup on now (because it shows up.) I’ve had this for about 6 months now. Please help!

My skin care routine [at night]:
- Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser
- Clean and Clear Daily Scrub; Morning Burst
- (sometimes) Sheer Cover Conditioning Cleanser

- Neutrogena Pore Minimizing Toner
- Clean and Clear Astringent+ Spot treatment

- Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
- Neutrogena Anti-wrinkle Cream (night)
- Vaseline
+ Topical Medication (sulfur?)

What is the best skin care routine?

admin August 22nd, 2010

This was another questions answer:
Healthier skin is dependant on a balanced diet, hydration, adequate physical exercise, protection from the sun and a daily skin care regimen. You can follow four easy steps to improve your skin’s health.

Step One — Cleanse. Cleansing you skin and removing dirt, makeup and other impurities that clog your skin is essential. You should cleanse your skin at least twice a day with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Your cleanser should not strip your skin of its natural oils and it should easily rinse away.

Step Two — Tone. Using a toner rehydrates, cools, nourishes and refreshes your skin. Toners remove any remaining traces of dirt, makeup or oil you cleanser may have not removed. It’s good to use a toner that is alcohol-free, as alcohol may dry your skin.

Step Three — Exfoliate. Exfoliants help remove dead cells that accumulate on the surface of your skin. Make sure the exfoliant is not granular so you do not damage new skin. Exfoliants with alpha or beta hydroxy acids improve the skin’s rejuvenation process, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles.

Step Four — Moisturize. Just as the rest of you body requires hydration and nutrients, so does your skin. Your skin should be treated with a daytime moisturizer that provides a broad spectrum sunscreen daily. At night, using a more intense moisturizer helps to rebalance and normalize your skin as you sleep.

These four basic steps can firm and restore your skin’s natural suppleness. Each step is also beneficial for any skin type. You can choose products that are specific to your skin’s special needs to achieve healthier skin :)
