POLL: What is your skincare regimine? - Page 6

Magic Markers · 08-02-2007, 08:10 PM #**126** (**permalink**)

You all have inspired me to actually GET a skin care routine.

I have normal-combination skin. I don't get breakouts very often, but if I do they're always on my forehead or chin.

I usually use St. Ives Apricot Scrub (just the normal one) in the shower every few days.

And at night I use Cliniques Extremely Gentle Cleansing Cream and then I usually wash it off with water instead of "tissuing off" because it's easier, and I don't like the residue it leaves.

As far as moisturizer... Uhm... Haha I don't really use one. I need to develop a skincare routine. That's going on the to-do list. Some of you take such good care of your skin!

i actually changed my regimine...proactiv just got to be too expensive after awhile and their cleanser was really the only thing that worked for me. their toner didn't do anything and their repairing lotion dried my skin out like crazy. so for awhile i switched to AcneFree which is just like proactive but the cleanser itself doesn't have those tiny little exfoliating beads, and you get A LOT more for a lot less. the only problem is that since AcneFree contains 10% benzoyl peroxide, it also tends to dry my skin out.

so instead i opted for Clinique's new Acne Solutions system. their cleansing foam is really nice ($17.50USD) - it has that soapy sent and it contains 2% salicylic acid and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and NOT dry! i also use their Acne Solutions clarifying lotion ($13.50USD). it's an alcohol-based toner and i guess you're only supposed to use those once a day but i use it twice/day...it has 2% salicylic acid in it and unlike their other toners, you shake this one so it kind of gets foamy on the top. the Clinique SA told me that it has actual acne medication in it besides the salicylic acid. either way, i've noticed a huge difference in my skin! i haven't tried Clinique's version of Proactiv's "repair lotion" b/c it contains benzoyl peroxide (a lower concentration than 10%) and even tho the product claims to moisturize to prevent drying and flaking of the skin, i have a feeling it would dry me out anyway so i stayed away. and i still moisturize with Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel.

my skin care regimine is REALLY simple.
AM: Cetaphil Cleanser + Cetaphil Moisturizer
PM: Cetaphil Cleanser + Cetaphil Moisturizer

My skin is pretty sensitive so I just started using Cetaphil. I didn't expect my blemishes to go away but it actually did after a couple of months! My skin is very dewy when I put my Bare Escentuals on too! I LOVE IT!

I should start putting on SPF~

Morning: Wash my hands with Johnson&Johnson Purpose face wash. Yes, my hands =] then clean my face with cold water and clean with aspirin. Then I pat dry and use aloe vera gel.

Night: Wash my hands and then wash my face with warm water, pat dry, apply apple cidar vinegar as a toner, then use alpha hydroxy cream before bed.

Proactiv, baby!

I use the basic three step solution- cleanser, toner (2x daily), repairing lotion(nightly or every other night if my skin is very clear or feeling too dry).

I am finishing up my Philosophy's Hope in a Jar moisturizer as it is one of the very few moisturizers that has not broken me out. I would like to try one of the Proactiv moisturizers when my jar is done. Anyone tried the Green Tea one? Any good??

I wash with Purpose gentle cleanser and moisturize with Dove spf 15.
Occasionally, I use the Aveeno scrub pads to exfoliate. That's it!

I used to work at The Body Shop so everything I use is from there, plus it has REALLY cleared my skin up. About 6 months ago I looked like this:

and now after doing this routine

AM: Body Shop Seaweed Cleanser, Toner and moisturizer.

PM: Body Shop Gel Makeup remover, then I cleanse tone and moisturize again. Also every few nights I use the elderflower eye gel from Body Shop.

Once a week I use the Aloe Gentle facial scrub.

BeautyPsycho · 09-14-2007, 10:35 PM #**134** (**permalink**)

Morning- Clinique liquid facial soap- mild, followed by 7 day scrub cream (now i use this scrub every other day, or twice a week.. depending on how my skin looks) Clinigue clarifying lotion #3, clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel, Neutrogena healthy skin anti-wrinkle cream spf 15

Night- Clinique liquid facial soap-mild, clarifying lotion #3, dram. diff. mois. gel, Neutrogena healthy skin anti-wrinkle cream night..

Once in a while- Queen Helene Mint Julep masque, Neutrogena Oil-free acne wash 60 second mask scrub (love thus stuff) or Pond's purely polished micro- dermabrasion anti-aging kit.

Man, that looks like a lot! It doesn't take that long, I swear..

I have just recently started using Eminence organic skincare and it has saved my face!!!!! This is what I have been using that has cleared up cystic acne around my jawline and chin, calmed redness and irritation, and lightened scarring (in only a freaking week):

AM and PM: Stone Crop Gel Wash (Cleanser), Rosehip Tonique (toner), Herbal Spot Serum (spot treatment), and Rosehip Whip Moisturizer. When I remember I use their Herbal Eye Contour Cream at night. I also alternate using the Garlic Tomato Mask (for acne) and the Lime Stimulating Mask (for everything, will blow your face up, but then it looks awesome) a few times a week.

I wish I had before and after pictures to show. I am crazy about this line.

Their products seem nice indeed, I've never tried them though. I can't find info on their website on European locations, I wonder if they are available in France

But that brand seems really interesting (Garlic & Tomato mask, wow, what a recipe!!)

you guys should check out the books:
1. Allure:Confessions of a Beauty editor
2. Black Dairy: Hollywood Beauty Secrets

great books.

I try to be as natural as possible with face stuff...a lot of natural remedies. Some are:

1. Massage face with honey
2. Use milk and lemon juice as a cleanser
3. Use yogurt/honey as a facial mask
4. Mash strawberries and yogurt to help fight acne
5. Massage face with almond or olive oil once a week.

There so much you can use on your face, fruits/oils etc. But check those two books out, ALOT of useful info!
