I would like to find a moisturizing lotion for my face that is natural and good for my skin. I have normal to slightly dry skin. It can be somewhat sensitive to some products, but is not prone to blemishes, just sometimes a little redness or rash that goes away. Ironically, the products that will cause this are often the ones that claim to make skin younger looking.

origins or aveda! almost 100% organic and soo good for your skin

Does anyone know a good acne cream?
I need a acne cream to prevent and reduce acne, because I already have some pimples and I want to get rid of them and prevent them in the future.
I’m planning on ordering ProActive, does anyone know if its any good or if it worked for them?

thanks!

The best product to rid yourself of acne is NuSkin Clear Action. It works and does not dry out your skin or make it overly sensitive the way that ProActive can. You should see results in about 3 days and it should steadily get better. Use this system daily to prevent or curtail future outbreaks.

Clear Action balances the skin so that it is not too oily or too dry, it also helps to reduce scars from blemishes by hydrating the skin. It is a really good and effective system. I have also found that if you combine it with Glacial Marine Mud Mask for deep pore cleansing twice per week, your skin will be in better shape and less prone to future outbreaks or minimize their occurrence.

The best place to buy these products is at: iface.nsedreams.com (cut and paste into the address bar). I like this site because of the excellent customer service and knowledge of the owner. I have learned a lot. You can contact the website owner to customize the systems if you want.

What are your favourite beauty/skin/hair/whatever products and why?

Mine:
St. Ives Apricot Scrub ’cause it takes all of the dry skin off of my face and makes it really smooth.
Spectro Gel facial cleanser because it is gentle and makes my skin soft.

Sheer Cover (from TV) definitely for make-up. Have never seen or used anything like it before. It’s great! Nivea Q10 for facial day & night cream for over 8 years now. Used Inner Science for years for hair but can’t get it here anymore, so am still searching. So far have been using Marc Anthony Shampoo & Conditioner and do like it alot.

skin care products that I can buy at a store near me….like target, or a department store.

Burts Bees probably has the best quality cheap skincare out there. Its awesome and you can buy it at target and walgreens and cvs.

I need to give two examples of acids commonly found in skin care products, and then talk about what those products are used for (e.g. anti-aging or something like that).

If anyone knows anything, then that would help.
Or if there are any websites I can go to. Thank you!

methylparaben- an anti fungal agent.

I have read Japanese are very advance in the technology of skin maintenance. I am wondering what products are good and successful for skin whitening that you, or people you known have used?

If you can I will appreciate if you give links to products I can buy?

Thank you in advance.

I’m Japanese.

RMK is my favorite manufacturer.
A lot of Japanese women use it’s products.

I’m not sure you can buy them online, but I recommend.

I will be 27 in March and I am beginning to notice changes on my face, such a wrinkles around my eyes….I need recommendations for skin care products, for normal skin, either to erase the wrinkles or to improve the appearance. I know there are a lot of products out there that claim to work but really dont. I just don’t want to waste a lot of money on bad products.

Coletta, all I can tell you is what has worked for me. I will say this, those $2.99 creams off the shelf of Walmart don’t work. I tried them literally all. They are just filler, fragrance, water, micro percentage if any of active ingredients (how else do you think they can sell creams at those prices?, nice & colorful packaging. About 3 years ago, started to use a brand that worked for me.

Preve extreme anti aging by Isabella Pelle. It’s made specifically for fine lines/wrinkles. It has the highest concentration of "peptides" active ingredients to fight them. Also has the highest concentration of the best known moisturizer, hyaluronic acid. This has kept my skin baby smooth.
Last month they came out with a more concentrated version of Preve called Cura. It’s everything Preve except they concentrated it to extreme. I got it 2 weeks ago; it’s excellent. What you need to do is decide which one is best for you. I recommend both.

oh btw; I’m 20 but in my opinion you are never too young to start protecting your skin from the ravages of time, sun, and lack of care.

I’m 13 years old and I live in Australia. I have combination skin and get minor blackheads, whiteheads and blemishes around and on my nose. Sometimes I might get them on my chin or forehead. I need a good skin care routine that has three steps (cleanse, tone, moisturise) that is gentle and won’t burn or irritate my skin. Can you help? Please list names of products and brands. No homemade remedies or recipes, just products I can purchase at Coles or Priceline. Thanks.

kk, first of all i might mention that you really only need a toner if your skin needs an extra clean or is oily which you do but usually a cleanser does the job. I have the same skin as you and this is what i use: i have two cleansers, at night i use Benzac AC wash, at frst that will burn and make your skin peel but mine soon got used to so if you want stay away from it, its about $15 and you can get it at any chemist or priceline. The morning cleanser i use and i stand by it for our skin its Formula 10.0.6 cleanser and its so gentle and makes your skin less oily right away. i dont own a toner myself but id try formula 10.0.6 aswell for that. for my moisturiser im currently using cliniques stuff so its abit pricey but i used to use Olay Complete Defence Moisturiser, which is great for sensitive skin and if your just starting out plus it has spf.

Now the other stuff i use i swear has helped clear me up and its St Ives Blackhead and Blemish Control, it will help remove your blackheads, use it every three nights. Another i use after i use the blackhead control is a mudmask, i use Formula 10.0.6 mudmask in the orange container and im soon going to use the one in the green and its for oily skin, its so good and really removes imputities. i also use a spot treatment from formula 10.0.6

Just thought id mention Formla 10.0.6 is really cheap too and its good cause it works, its at priceline. ill get links up for all products ive mentioned.

I got my carpet cleaned last night and this morning I found two pink spots. After some research, it was caused by something in acne cream. Any tips on how to remove these spots? (I can not just cover it up with a rug, we’re putting our house on the market in a few weeks).
The carpet is a tan-ish shade.

What color is the carpet? It could be the cream has bleached the carpet. If the carpet is darker than the cream, get some permanent markers and color it to match.
