Moisturizer Answers

every time i use a moisturiser, i get loads of spots!
what should i do?

I always wonder if this is some kind of deficiency from birth or its just my skin type. I used to avoid holding hands, especially with men, I tend to give them the tip of my hands if I have shake hands! I’m not fixated or anything, just curious – maybe someone has an answer!

my face is soo dry by about 11am. I use moisturiser especially for really dry skin, but it makes no difference. What do you suggest I do to stop my skin from being so dry & flaky??

I don’t like being dependent on chemicals. My philosophy is that our ancestors lived without them, & the human body was designed to live without them, so any apparent need we have for chemicals is caused by modern culture–and who knows what chemicals do to us in the long run? I’ve stopped using shampoo & found that I don’t need it. I use a one-ingredient (saponified safflower oil) soap to avoid odor. I use the soap as a shaving cream as well, but I avoid soaping my forehead because–though it is the mildest soap I’ve ever used–it still slightly dries my skin. I use a shower filter to remove the drying chloramine present in the tap water. I try to eat a couple grams of omega 3 fatty acids a day & not too much salt for general health & to prevent dry skin. But still, I find I can’t live without facial moisturizer–otherwise my skin, even on my forehead, which is never exposed to any cosmetic products, gets dry & flaky. Why might my skin still be dry?

today i bought…
neutrogena’s visibly clear spot stress control daily scrub.
and
neutrogena’s visibly clear oil free moisturiser
the exfoliator was the first one which says it should be used morning & evening, everyday, when should i moisturise?
