Current Events > Skin care routine - what is yours like?

(+) Yeah! (+)

1. What face wash do you use?
2. Do you exfoliate your face?
3. Do you use face masks?
4. What kind of moisturizer do you use?

If anyone says they use just a bar of soap they will get slapped btw.

I use dead sea mud once a week, maybe every 2 weeks.
I have some cream for bags under the eyes I do a couple of times a month
don't use any moisturizer though ive been considering picking some up
and I just use a body wash on my face as well.
---

In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Bring it, cause that's all I use.

Water from the shower and whatever shampoo that I rinse off.

It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again

I find Cool Ranch Doritos residue to work wonders

@KILBOTz Body wash on face? No! No! No! There is a reason why face wash exists.

No moisturizer afterwards?

Exfoliate and moisturize maybe once or twice a week

I should more often because MN is dry as fuck, but my alarm is set for 8:17 and I don't want to move it forward two minutes because that's how long it would take to add skin care to my morning routine.

I somehow cured my acne, it's from one of the following:

- Oil cleansing method with mineral oil every night

- Brewer's Yeast powder every night

- Vitamin B complex (along with multi, D3, fish oil, and K)

I'm pretty sure it's the Brewer's Yeast, it tastes like shit but it cured my acne

Exfoliating once a week is good. Any more and you can risk drying our your skin even further.

But moisturizing your face only once or twice a week? You need to moisturize more.

It's probably the fish oil too.

The omega 3 fats in fish are renowned for reducing inflammation. Less inflammation = less acne.

Nothing, my skin is basically leather after an oil explosion and I can't do anything with it except make sure it's moisturized (it's an slightly off brand moisturizer that's suppose to relax the skin and has like a ton of vegetable/fruit stuff in it) and I get Burt Bees lip balm for my lips since they are fucked up as well and dry up from just existing.

I use water and I guess whatever shampoo trickles down. And then shampoo and conditioner on the beard.

no, only for my hands and feet

I wash my face with water, use Clearasil face pads, and then moisturize. I'll also put on some SPF50 sunscreen if I'm going to be outside a lot.

Yeah I know, I actually do slap on a little bit of cetaphil a little more often, but maybe only 2-3 times a week

i use a fash wash, clean and clear i think, along with its toner and facial moisturizer. my gf, who never did any skin care routine, was always jealous of my skin. since then ive gotten her on a skin care routine. she uses those korean face masks that are popular right now. her skin is so soft now!
---

It's pretty simple, but I've always found it to be effective. A hot bath to open up and cleanse my pores, and then a cool shower to close them up again. There's also often a good scrubbing.

I tried to find something to use on my face to moisturize it but I have such sensitive skin, everything I tried burned it,

Thank you sir, may I have another?

I scrape my fingernails down my cheeks until they bleed

I shower with warm water, soap and use coconut oil after. I also use that once in the morning.

Not much, I used to do a ton when performing though.

Special soap, moisturizer (face, elbow and asscheeks) when I'm not lazy, some gel then off.

Performing what, fellatio?
---

Scrub real good with a washcloth in the shower
Then a little Vaseline cocoa butter lotion when I get out

Think it's actually a body lotion but it works pretty good for keeping flaky skin away and my face smells great

@flussence what? O_O

I use a zinc based/enhanced bar soap once per day, that's it but it works really well for me.
---

1. I wash my face with head and shoulders because my face is still my head.
2. I don't know what exfoliate means and I'm on my phone so I can't be bothered to Google it.
3. I sleep with an eye mask because I work nights and I can't sleep without an eye mask anymore.
4. I moisturise with cetraben because I'm mildly allergic to e45

@DifferentialEquation What brand of zinc soap?

@wdlp Exfoliating is when you use scrub off dead skin cells. The results is brighter, clearer skin. You don't want to do it everyday though. Once or twice a weak should suffice.

Loreal clay cleanser
No7 spf 15 moisturizer for day time
No7 night cream
---

Cigarettes and alcohol

I had some really red splotchy areas of skin along with dry patches for the longest time. This is the only thing I found that works. It basically had my skin 100% clear within a week and I've had no issues since. I don't even use it every day anymore, probably like 4 or 5 days per week. When I'm in the shower, I just get some lather in my hands, spread it around on my face and into my scalp and leave it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off. That's all I do. I also tried it on my right shoulder where I've had some recurring acne it seems to have helped out a lot with that too.
