Skincare - let's sperg about routines and products

[WW 635]

Had a bad reaction to my bf's bedsheets and woke up with one side of my face covered in tiny pimples. I wanna cry

Hydrocortisone cream and over the counter cetirizine should help clear that up.

 

[Mydickfelloff]

I use the Neutrogena oil-free acne wash in the morning. I exfoliate regularly, and use witch hazel on my face.
I occasionally use Clean and clear's acne triple clear bubble foam cleanser and centaphil skin cleanser when I wanna be extra or feel pretty. I use Nivea's face cream/ moisturizer to moisturizer.

 

[wimzi]

I use Burt's Bees Argan Oil and Foaming Cleanser, then Skin Food Peach Sake Toner, and then either Burt's Bees Sage Night Cream or Oil of Olay with 30 SPF. I also use a face mask once or twice a week, generally Freeman's because I'm cheap lol.

I'm fucking ride or die for the Peach Sake Toner. It's the best product I've ever used, doesn't dry my skin out, and I've seen dramatic reduction in redness since I started using it.

I had this dissgusting line across my neck (presumably from looking down at books/phone/gameboy) that I really think I'm still too young to have, so I did a bit of reading and started using rosehip oil as a moisturizer on my neck. It has worked wonders oh my goodness. The line's still there, but it's faded and only visible up close. Used it on my eyebags too... not so sure it helped there, but I'm gonna keep using it and would recommend for those wrestling with wrinkles

I was out a while ago and got stuck between a fight. Got clocked in the eye by some idiot. Swelling is down now but I still have an eye that looks like I haven’t slept at all and the skin under that eye feels like an alligator.

Any advice?

Any advice?

Ice (for no more than 10 minutes at a time), moisturizer, concealer and good eyeliner

re: pimples. I live for these suckers. they only work on 'open' pimples though, ones that have come to a head- not ones that are still hard under your skin. I just put one on before bed and peel it off the next morning, gag at the pus and carry on with being fabulous.

[JimmyHill'sBlarms]

I tend to buy natural/organic stuff (with a few exceptions) because I find it's much less harsh on my face/skin then regular products. This is my current routine.

Morning:

Burt's Bees Deep Cleansing cream
St. Ive's Timeless Skin Moisturizer

Middle of Day

Some sort of face wipe, usually Burt's Bees or SheaMoisture Radiance.

Night:

Exfoliant of sorts (usually Burt's Bees or some other one I decide to try)
Burt's Bees Garden Tomato toner
Burt's Bees Night cream
SheaMoisture Shea Butter

A few times a week:

Skin Food Black Sugar scrub/mask
Biore skin strips (for my chin/nose area)

Shower/Hair care:

Kiss my Face Coconut and Lime soap
Kiss my Face Green Tea and Lime shampoo
OUAI hair oil
TINY bit of SheaMoisture Shea Butter.

I found the perfect holy grail product for dry ass winter skin. Mario Badescu - Caviar Night Cream - It's closer to a butter than a cream really. It's cocoa butter, beeswax, and caviar extract, so you do get a bit of an oily feel. Not quite as bad as putting Vaseline on your face, but it's heavy textured. It's been a life-saver for getting rid of flaky dry nose skin and that scaley shit on my forehead. The oil free creams never work for me in winter, so I have to look to something stronger.

I'm currently using it this way:
Cleanse with micellar water
spritz with rosewater spray and pat into skin
apply caviar night cream to skin and rub in lightly.

In the morning, I use basic cetaphil face wash to remove it before I start on the daily routine which now includes Snail Bee essence because that shit rocks.

I like Glamglow ThirstyMud for when my skin is extra dry. I put all the other shit I put on my face before bed on and then top it off with a layer of ThirstyMud.

I really enjoy watching this lady's skin care stuff. Her voice is annoyingly nasal and she looks like Crazy Vegan Ginger's cousin, but she really knows her stuff and gives specific suggestions for different skin types and conditions.

She also cuts through all the bullshit on "all-natural" stuff that doesn't actually do anything and common packaging language that's just there for marketing.

When I was younger, my skin was so sensitive that I could only use Cetaphil. I still use it on and off.

Witch hazel has helped my skin. I use it about three times a week and it clears with my acne (hormonal or not) when it pops up. Unfortunately, it's the kind with alcohol. But since I'm also oily it hasn't really dried me out? I use a moisturizer afterwards. I also use alcohol free toner occasionally. Don't find that it works as well as the straight witch hazel unfortunately. Do want to try Thayer's witch hazel eventually.

 

[Placebo]

I have no idea what this is and I have no idea how to get rid of it. It's itchy and it burns and it's raw and peeling.

Eczema, buy hydrocortisone cream OTC. Covered ice pack and coconut oil if you have it in the meantime.

Thoughts on konjac sponges? I like them. Very gentle and inexpensive way to exfoliate. But haven't heard much about them.

I love mine. I use the Boscia hydrating clay sponge along with their tsubaki face wash in my routine. Has anyone used a foreo and what do you think? Are they worth the price tag?

 

[Polexia Aphrodisia]

I've been using 10.0.6 for a while now but around Christmas time I started using a konjac sponge instead of just my hands. Additionally I've started using a charcoal face bar my mum got for me from a craft fair at night instead of the Best Face Forward wash. If it really dries my skin out I do the PM Perfect cream. I've noticed a huge improvement, my skin had started to build immunity to 10.0.6 but the charcoal bar and the konjac sponge have really been great additions.

My hands get dry pretty frequently; especially in cold weather. I've got a small bottle of nivea hand cream at the moment that has almond oil in it and it works pretty good. Smells nice, too.

I have a terrible case of peeling and pimpling on my left palm that flares up every few weeks, I'm sure it's some kind of eczema.

Would jojoba oil help? The other reason I'm buying said oil is for nail care.

I don't know if jojoba would help, it likely won't hurt anyway. my son has exzema and when working at Walmart (his name is not Eden btw) it would flare up like crazy because of breaking down of cardboard boxes in the cold.

He used a hemp body butter from the body shop and aquafor baby healing cream. worked really well.

 

[Nehelenia]

I'm one of those incredibly lucky individuals who gets acne, um. Everywhere. Chest, shoulders, back, all the fun places. So I'm starting to look into body washes that target these issues specifially--which I didn't even know existed until recently because I'm a dummy and just assumed I was a hormonal freak of nature destined to have the skin of a teenage boy 5ever.

Anyone have good luck with this? Or this?
