Simple Face Care Tips for Dry Skin

Archive for the ‘Facial skin care products’ Category

Ok I admit it, I don’t take very good care of my face. I wash it with makeup wipes and go to bed, apply a bit of moisturizer and then slap on some more makeup. Sometimes I will wash it with Clean & Clear face wash. I know I should probably be using a nice serum to make my skin look and feel healthier and to combat age (I’m only 23 now but I want to get a jump on wrinkles and age signs!)

What do you recommend as a good regimen for facial skin care. What products do you think work? I am Caucasian with fair skin. It’s not really very oily but tends to get dry in the summer heat. I still break out a bit every once in a while and my biggest complaint is dark under eye circles. Any ideas on what I should buy? What do you like to use?

skip the serum for now, it’s a bit too early to start it.

i like using Dove for Sensitive Skin Cleanser – it’s gentle, effective and won’t dry your skin out

I love Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer with SPF. It evens out skin tone and protects too. I also like Olay Complete with SPF.

I started using a basic night cream around 23 too (no need to use anti-Wrinkle stuff yet, but the added moisture is great for the skin). try Dove, or Nivea.

exfoliate regularly with a gentle exfoliator (something with microbeads or a homemade mix of sugar or baking soda with your cleanser works great).

i’m not sure about eye creams. i don’t have dark circles, but I like Clinique All About Eyes Rich.

The key at this stage in your skin care is to protect it from the Sun and environmental damage, and moisturize to prevent loss of elasticity.

im not at all interested in your forum, or your speech – save the rant and answer the question not waffle on about things irrelevant to me or my question !

gem a decent answer but save the patronizing for another person because to me, it doesn’t work.

i know god loves me , ( which is irrelevant to what i asked )

do not try to patronize me again in a question or i’ll block you. simple.

Its never to flat to repair skin damage, but at some point in your near life , you will need to get at leat 1 or 2 acid peels to soften the look of your wrinkles and sun damage.
The wrinkles will not go away, but you can help yourself look refreshed and youthful by doin the following 1-6:::

1) apply a wet warm to hot washcloth to your face to soften up and open your pores so you can extract all white heads and blackheads.
2) Get a good facial scrub and exfloliate your skin for 2 minutes, rinse and pat dry. ( do this twice a week only)
3) apply a sunscreen and daily moisturizer to hydrate your skin.
4) The SECRET TO Youthful looking skin is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize DAILY!!! —— no matter what!
5) the eyes need moisture to – an eye gel for night time use is great.
6) Please dont pull, or rub your facial skin because in doing so, your pulling and stretching your skin and sagging it and causing it to wrinkle.

Brands – There is Clinique, BeautiControl, Mary Kay, Oil of Olay, Neutrogena. You have to experiement to see what works for you and look for a complete line. Dont mix -match products. Hope this helps!
Smile – GOD LOVES YOU and always will no matter what !

As you can see I keep my routine very simple. I use the same face wash and moisturizer in the morning and at night. I only exfoliate or use a scrub about once a week. I forgot to mention that I still mostly only drink water. Also, I haven’t started using an eye cream yet but I really should!
