what kind of skin do you have? and what products do you use? any recommendations and life savers?
i used to think my skin was just rly oily then it finally clicked in my head that it's v oily but rly combination bc i would dry out rly bad w/e and the dead skin was clogging my pores. when i started using moisturizer it got so much better.
it's rly bad rn so i'm using panoxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash, stridex salysilic (lol too lazy to look up spelling) face wipes, and olay moisturizer.
ooo i should look up the electronic exfoliator. i have one of those japanese? exfoliating cloths and it works well for my body but i'm afraid to use it on my face.
oh and also, the face wash has always been p good on my face - tho i didn't use it for a while and when i started again, i developed a bit of a rash and sensitivity. i have a bit around my eyes right now, but it's not too bad.
i have a sonic scrubber thing. forget the name, but it's the pink one? i love it. it's done amazing things for my skin. even got the wrinkle above my left eyebrow to fade.
i have p good skin. i've never really had acne except for the occasional pimple here and there (like 1 or 2 a year when i was a teenager), and my skin is more dry than oily, but not in a way that's a big problem. mostly i just wash my face with water in the shower and then use a wet washcloth to exfoliate. every week to two weeks i do a baking soda scrub if my face is feeling oily or i've been sweaty, and when my skin gets really dry (usually in the winter) i'll do an olive oil & sugar scrub. it's gr8, saves me a buttload of money on face scrubs and moisturizers and stuff.
