Help !! :D I have acne/combination skin! >< and it’s hard to find make-up that doesn’t cake or anything when i put it on , any ideas? :S I’ve had acne since i was 11 and started wearing make-up when i was 12.. i just wore some powder from nivea and was always worrying about it, i remember in latin i sat at the back of the class and i’d try and secretly put it on. and in class i’d accidently pick a spot and always be asking for a tissue.. yeah.. good memories.. –’ lol. to be honest i would LOVE to be able not to wear make-up and have to bother with it all but i’d look like i just came out of world war three if i didn’t so yeah >< not guna happen, for the moment anyway :( :3
i mostly have a oily T-zone and then the rest of my face is pretty dry and sensitive..

i thought that seeing as my t-zone was where my acne was, i had oily skin so i tryed a ‘oil-free balancing’ foundation from the Body shop but argh!! nope!! lol. it would not blend at all and just stuck on my skin and bought all my pores out and just looked very cakey- big no.
so i tryed the ‘moisture’ foundation from the bodyshop, wich is what i’ve been using until recently-
i do really like it but i find that it tends to come off alot, especially round my nose and goes shiny..
was always having to ‘blotch’ it with those little paper thingys but i ran out pretty quickly :L…
i have tryed a Nivea foundation ‘pure&natural’ but either it was the wrong colour and too heavy..(trouble is live in the countryside in france an most of the shops are quite far away, there is a big supermarket with some makeup but the trouble is you can’t test it to try it out! :( .. i did however find a packet with some ‘mousse’ foundation that was open, so i decided to open the whole thing and test it but it wasn’t right anyway -shh!- (a) haha ) in the end i bought some l’oreal foundation for 15 euros, i haven’t tryed it for a whole school day yet but it seems much better coverage wise :) though it has a brush, i prefer to use a sponge otherwise it doesn’t look right!

so i guess i have dry skin but very sensitive? or combination ? blah xD.
anyone have any ideas for foundations/powders that they think might work? :) xox
or even any skincare products they’d recomend, moisturisers.. anything basically, would be MUCH appreciated !!!! :-)

My routine:
wash my face with warm water and pat it a bit
use 1pump of the clearasil multiaction gel stuff
moisturise ( a garnier one ’24hrs moisturizing care-eliminates the imperfections’ wich i use on my T-zone and then a Nivea shine controle wich i used on my cheeks etc, though sometimes i do prefer to use it all over my face after the garnier one as i find my face looks more ‘evened out’ colour wise..?)
*sometimes* primer from the body shop
a concealer pen from garnier ’2in1 Anti-spots roll-on’
then a concealer wich i put under my eyes
l’oréal foundation
and voila!. if i don’t use a primer then some of my mums powder but she doesn’t really have the same colour or anything so it’s not that good lol!

i have dark brown hair with lighter brown goldyhighlights, quite pale skin, feeew freckles on the top of my cheeks,browny/hazel eyes, and yep.. :)

Is there any make-up for me out there? Lol :) should i ask a doctor/dermatologist (or however you spell that) what make-up is best for my skin? :/! :)x

I’m 12 and I want to start taking care of my skin more. What affordable face wash and moisturizer would you recommend I use and where can I buy it? I have combination skin btw. Normal skin on my cheeks and chin, oily skin in my T-zone.

** PLEASE READ!! **

Recently, I realized that I ran out of certain products for my skin care routine, but decided I should change things up completely. I bought a new eye cream a week ago, which I LOVE, as well as some anti-aging serums to use during the day and night to prevent signs of aging.

However, I’m in need of a new daily moisturizer that has at least SPF 30-35 in it (also must be light weight because I have combination skin). I also am looking into buying a toner to be able to remove excess dirt and oil. Also, any suggestions for treating acne? I don’t really get pimples and my skin is actually pretty nice and is clear. I do, however get pimples now and then. Any suggestions for a light-weight night cream as well? I used Hope In A Jar by Philosophy, which I did like, but I am open to other suggestions. I don’t use products that test on animals, so I’m only looking into cruelty-free products. Please help! Thanks!

I have been finding clinque a little harsh for mt face and I am just looking for a different brand that I can try that will siut my skin better, I have combination skin andtend to break out. any suggestions, need to be available in th uk. thankyou

I need a new cleanser and moisturizer.
Preferably one that can be bought at the drugstore, but I don’t care.
I have very, VERY sensitive skin
I have bad excema, and I am allergic to many things….I don’t have acne ( yay genetics!) but I get the occasional pimple. I really just want a cleanser and moistureiser that will do the job without irritating my skin or causing a reaction.
I have combination skin, a slightly oily t-zone and sometimes dry cheeks. I need to moisturize, or my face will get really dry. My face gets pretty red sometimes, and most cleansers are too harsh on me. any ideas?

SO.. i have combination skin. I don’t exactly have acne..but i do have quite a few blemishes and my skin is prone to breakouts/acne. At the moment, i use mostly clean and clear products and I don’t think i see the improvement, even though I have been using the products for a couple months now.
What are some skin care products that actually help by tightening pores and help clearing up your skin??
PLEASE ANSWER (: <3

I was looking into buying the starter kit (comes with facial mask, face wash and hydrating lotion) I have oily to combination skin type and it says thats what its for..so I was wondering (before I bought it) if it works good.
I’m in need of a new face cleanser and everything, and I read the reviews on it but what are your opinions on this product?

also what if I get the yes to cucumbers calming facial mask? would that help with my oily skin as well?
or is it not a good combination? aha
thanks a bunch!
:)

I know when you use a facial scrub you should also use a cleanser, but won’t the combination of the two over dry your face?
I have combination skin and only use a cleanser + moisturizer. I wanted to try adding a scrub to my routine because cleansing isn’t doing it for my acne (mostly blackheads and occasional pimples).
I use my cleanser in the shower and when i get out of the shower my face is very dry. Through out the day I have to keep applying moisturizer. I’ve realized that when I wash my face using sink water my face isn’t as dry, so it could just be the shower water. I’m not sure if it’s just the weather, but my usually oily t-zone has been dry and flaky while the rest of my skin is semi-dry to normal. Perhaps when spring is over summer will make my face like a glazed donut, then I’ll be wishing for the dryness. Ugh, my skin is so frustrating.

Should I still use my skin products for combination skin or try using products for dry skin?
Will products for dry skin contribute to my blackheads and pimples?

When using a scrub should you avoid pimples?

Toners – Are all toners/Astringents created equal? Do they all work the same way? I bought Witch Hazel a while ago, because I read somewhere It’s good for blackheads, but haven’t used it in fear of the alcohol content. Will the toner add to the dryness when combined with a scrub and cleanser?

Are mud masks, clay masks, microdermabrasions, etc. considered to be like scrubs and should not be used in combination with each other?

Microdermabrasion or acne-scrub? Which one will work best on acne (blackheads)?

I have combination skin (very oily forehead, sometimes dry cheeks) and quite a few blackheads and spots.

First– Drinking plenty of water, eating healthily, taking vitamins and regular exercise.
Also first doing a 3 day detox.

Morning:
Wash: Hot water, flannel and light soap or cleansing face wash?
Rinse: Cold water to close pores.
Cleanse: Natural cleanser for oily skin.
Tone: Spray on toner.
Moisturize: (mostly on cheeks, light on forehead?)

Wipe off makeup when home.
Night: Just wash face and moisturize? If so, wash with what?
Or: Cleanse, tone and moisturize again?

Once a week: Exfoliate, steam treatment to open pores, mud mask, lemon juice to reduce acne scars, oat & honey homemade face mask.

Does this sound good? Is there anything I should be doing more or less of? I want to keep it as natural as possible. I’m going to buy a ton of crap from The Body Shop. Any other home remedies? I use sudocrem/toothpaste for spots if I’m desperate. Also, can sun-cream be used to substitute moisturizer? If not, should I apply it before or after moisturizer? If this doesn’t work I’ll go to a dermatologist. Thanks again!

I have spent over 30 dollars on skin care products that don’t work. There is this severe acne treatment that doesn’t work for me. What are some home remdies? I have oily to combination skin I think. How can you figure out what skin type you have? Also, how long do you leave it on and how many times a day and how long until it works? I have really bad skin. I need all the help I can get and please don’t suggest store-bought things unless they work REALLY good and fast.
