Re: Skincare!!!
I have pretty decent skin, so I don't use much.

In the morning I wash my face in the shower with a [Neutrogena] beaded cleanser, afterwards I apply [L'oreal] collagen cream to my laugh lines and then [Ponds] face cream.

At night I exfoliate with [St Ives] Apricot Scrub, cleanse with [Ponds] cool cucumber cleanser, then apply face cream.

Re: Skincare!!!
My skin actually isn't trippin like it used to. Currently I'm using Neutrogena's Clear Pore Wash/Mask and St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Blemish Prone Skin, with Neutrogena's Pore Refining Toner and random blemish cream if I really need it. I have oily skin for reference.

That's me too.... I don't have too many skin issues and this just brings the extra pretty out so well. I also use the Queen Helene mask once a week.

Re: Skincare!!!
Oil of Ulay Multiradiance - it makes my skin really glowy and takes away any ashiness as the super-subtle shimmer in it is yellow rather than pink-based.

I use Olay Complete Care night cream and Olay Total Care eye cream - my mum has used nothing but Olay on her skin for 30 years, and her skin's fantastic, so fingers crossed!

Re: Skincare!!!
I swear by aveeno products but I use Cetaphil Moiterizer as a night cream & aveeno spf in the summer. In the winter I do use the Cetaphil, it's nice & think

I love...love...love the Volcano Ash exfoliate. I use it 1x a week. It's amazing

Re: Skincare!!!
Since college started I've been getting pretty bad acne, and usually cystic acne. I had major oily skin. Like three years later..I'm now acne free! (knock on wood) This is MY "cure" for acne that worked.

cleanser:
Pond's cold cream-yeah! Just put it on and wipe it off. leaves skin even and SO soft. you'll see the improvement in like 2 days! this stuff is amazing.
Aveeno positively radiant/clean&clear daily pore cleanser-something mild to wash with if you feel too oily so I might use it before ponds at times. I just have a lot of cleansers left from before bcuz I'd try everything to stop my acne.

moisturizer:
some very light oil-free moisturizer from victoria's secret. really any oil-free one will do as long as you mix it with 2-3 drops of 100% tea tree oil.

treatment:
neutrogena acne mark fading peel 1x a week..if I don't forget.

Re: Skincare!!!
Lush is to die for! I use herbalism and fresh farmacy cleanser, tree tea toner, enzymion moisturizer, and mask of magnaminty mask. I also use their body butters. Very good for acne prone skin.

Re: Skincare!!!
Well, I'm pretty unlucky in the fact that I have very sensitive skin and most products break me out.

On the other hand, I'm VERY lucky that it narrows the field of products that ARE safe for me, so I save money and I have a simple routine. Also very lucky that as long as I stick with these few products and my routine, my skin is happy and looks great, despite being dry w/o a moisturizer. I might be the only Black woman alive w/dry skin, LOL


Daily- Oil Cleansing Method, Kiehl's Ultra Moisturizer with SPF (my HG), or Avon Anew Force Extra Triple Lifting Day Cream with SPF 15 ( LOL at that long name- it doesn't lift a damn thing, possibly because nothing is sagging yet, lol but it's a good moisturizer with spf that's cheap when Avon has a sale) or Avon Hydrofirming Lifting Day Cream with SPF 15 (another long name where the only truthful and operative words are moisturizer and SPF 15 ).

Alternate cleansers when I can't take a shower at the moment (that's when/where I do my OCM, or I'm away from home and my oil blend) Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads, or Ponds Cleans Sweep wipes. FYI ladies, the Ponds wipes are great for a "Morning After" kit, if you know what I mean, and I think you do!


As needed: Queen Helene Mint Julep or Mud Clay mask. Steam treatment.

Exfoliation: Italy towel. I'm looking into getting a face brush though.

Cetaphil mixed with baking soda to make a paste is pretty good, too. In fact, I might do that in the morning, LOL

Re: POLL: What is your skincare regimine?
I rediscovered Jojoba Oil as a moisturizer...it's awesome.

It even goes well under my MUFE Matte Velvet + foundation.
