Hey all! Just made this for everyone to share their skin care regimens, products, tips, tricks, etc.

Anything OLAY is good. I use it and my face is super clean.

I need something.
My skin is terrible and i was using Doxycycline but eventually it started to make me sick and i couldn't drink alcohol so now i'm off it and my skin is terrible again

[Scandal & Media]

My skin type is so oily. Not even like 2hrs after washing, toning, using mattifying products and moisturizing I look wet.

About two months ago I put like 99.9% of my synthetic products aside and started using natural products for everything and I've seen v good results tbh. Every drugstore brand product I'd use made things worse (breakouts, oiliness).

My Routine

1. Cleanse w/ either coconut oil or Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser (2x/day)
2. Exfoliate w/ either baking soda (AMAZING for blackheads on your nose) or St. Ives Apricot Scrub (3x/week)
3. Turmeric, honey, lemon juice mask (great for uneven skin tone, redness/inflammation dark spots, breakouts, scars) (3x/week)
4. Tone w/ Dickinson's Pure Witch Hazel (2x/day)
5. Moisturize w/ Nature's Aid Skin Gel (2x/day) ---> This stuff is AMAZING. It's literally just aloe vera, tea tree oil, vitamin e, witch hazel and rosemary essential oil and does wonders for all skin types. It's very light and non-greasy and feels like nothing on your face.

6. If I'm going out for something important I'll use BareMinerals Prime Time just to help mattify a little extra.

Omg gurl you really make an effort

I do Neutrogena but I don't think I need it anymore. My acne calmed down when I turned 19. I have some light acne scars but I doubt I can get rid of those exfoliating.

The best for me

I need to. Just about everything I've tried has made things worse except for this recent routine.

Most my face is clear, i still get the occasional pimples though.

But i keep getting heaps on my back / shoulders.. its super annoying why does this happen

Drink water, change your diet, get skin peels, wear spf, don't touch your face, exfoliate once a week, talk to a dermatologist (over the counter **** can only do so much)

Other than the Pink Grapefruit Acne Wash, I use an anti wrinkle cream daily () and a Biore strip about once a week.

Im using Glow By Dina by Dina Manzo and my face is looking refreshed for sure. I also get a facial about once every 2 months

Angels On Bare Skin from LUSH cosmetics is my holy grail product

- I cleanse with angels on bare skin
- tone with a toner water also from LUSH
- I moisturize with clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel
- then I use mario badescu's drying lotion on my pimples to get rid of them over night
- i occasionally use tony moly sheet masks when i wanna treat myself

Use lemon when you have a red patch or zit and then immediately moisturize because lemon has a really high ph level and it can burn a bit if you have sensitive skin.
Also sometimes it's good to steam your face. so put like dried lavender flowers in a big hot bowl of boiling water and then put your face super close to it and put a towel over your head to keep that hot steam concentrated on your face. it will open your pores up and make it easier for you to cleanse and tone your face thoroughly!

use a gentle body wash!!! i used happy hippie from lush and noticed my back/shoulder acne decreased dramatically!! i now use St. Ives exfoliating pink grapefruit body wash and thats been working too!! (its also a LOT cheaper and u get so much product)

I like to use simple and natural products for my skin. I use organic raw honey to wash my face, Aztec clay once a week as a mask, pure cane sugar as a scrub, and an organic face oil serum as a moisturizer.

#1 skin care tip is to drink a lot of water

all the skin care products I use are from Kiehl's, I use their oil-free cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. I have good skin bc of my genetics though so I don't have to use anything else really. I don't really break out much if at all, unless I drink anything carbonated I also use their under eye serum called eye alert and it's really helping to get rid of the discoloration and puffiness my under eyes. their products are kinda pricy but they work for me

you must have a clogged lymphatic system. See the lymphatic system is the sewage of the body and it's job is to remove waste from all cells and bring it to the kidneys to flush all toxins out of the body. If your lymph gets clogged do to a poor standard American diet(Dairy products being the most clogging) then your body is not able to properly filter out cellular waste through your kidneys and since your skin is the third kidney, all those toxins will be filtered out through your skin in the form of acne, black heads, eczema, psoriasis etc..

Ima live in this thread. I mostly just use a exfoliating soap, it really helps with the complexion & smoothes the skin. It has vitamin E in it. It's called Clear n Smooth. Then, i tone with the green tea tree toner from lush and use my moisturizer with spf in it. Right now, I'm using Aveeno and it has sof 30. Was using the Clinque and it had spf 50.

At night, I do the same thing minus the Aveeno, I just use this brightening gel, it really helped rid my skin of the discoloration & hyperpigmentation I had & evened out my skin tone. I use that every night.
