Foaming Non-Detergent Washable Cleanser
Apricot Kernel Oil
A-prih-kaht KUR-nuhl OY-il
Apricot Kernel Oil is extracted from apricot kernels & has a very high Vitamin E content (aiding fast absorption) & is a trygliceride composed of 75% oleic acid & 20% linoleic acid, & unsaturated fatty acids esterfied with glycerin – similar to avocado oil & sesame oil. Found to be highly compatible with the skin. Apricot Kernel Oil moisturizes & softens skin while helping retain clarity & suppleness.
Avocado Oil
Ah’-voh-KAH-doh OY-il
Avocado Oil, derived from the fruit of a tropical American tree, is a rich, fatty-acid emollient. Avocado Oil is known to be the most moisturizing of any fruit oil. It is also a natural source of Amino Acid proteins, Vitamins A, D, E, & potassium. Helps to restore the natural moisture of the skin.
Glycerin
GLIH-suh-rin’
Glycerin is a by-product of soap manufacturing & is a clear, syrupy liquid, usually derived from vegetable oil & obtained by adding alkalies to fats & fixed oils. It is a solvent humectant & emollient in many skin care products, as it absorbs moisture from the air & thereby helps products retain their moisture. It improves the spreadability of products & has definite skin moisturizing benefits.
Suitable for combination or oily skin, this lathering cleanser is formulated to remove excess oil & dirt effectively from the skin’s surface.
Apply a small amount of the cleanser to fingertips & add a few drops of water to create a lather. Gently massage preparation onto damp skin, avoiding the immediate eye area. Remove with lukewarm water or damp washcloth, if desired.

Well, I have a lot of blackheads on my nose. Like… over 50. Not kidding. Really gross. It makes my nose feel all bumpy.
After I first got a facial done to remove most of them my nose was mostly clear, however, it was really shiny & oily looking.
Well, I would wash yaddayaddayadda & all that, but they’d just come back within like a month, & I’d just go get them removed again. I’ve basically given. Nose strips don’t work either.
What should I do? Change my face washing routine? Basically I do this:
1) once i wake up – rinse with warm water, wash with clinic soap, use clinic clarifying lotion, use an oil-free moisturizer with spf
2) wash with warm water mid-day when face feels oily
3) before bed – same thing as morning, but either use an apricot scrub or clinic clean & clear cleaner instead of the soap.
Whoa that was long-winded. Any help would be great, I really don’t wanna keep paying for facials.

I use only completely natural products on my skin & hair. At night I remove my mascara with extra virgin olive oil & then wash my whole face with olive oil, remove the oil with warm water, then re appply some oil for a moisturizer.
I don’t want to wash my face with olive oil in the morning because it will look oily, is it okay to wash my face on a daily basis with water & green tea? Will the tea dry my face out? And should it be warmed? or cold…(like I could make it the night before & put it in the fridge)

I have combination skin, & I just wondered if my daily skin care regimen is suitable.
This is it:
In the morning when I first wake up, I wash my face with a facial wash & warm water, then pat dry.
I then moisturize with Johnson’s moisturizer with SPF 25.
Then I apply my makeup.
In the evening, I remove my makeup with a makeup wipe, have a shower & use a facial scrub for oily skin, then moisturize.
Is there anything else I should be doing to keep my skin healthy & prevent spots/acne??
Thanks

I often get pimples (not acne, just maybe one or two pimples) & have a big problem with black heads on my nose. Sometimes i get large pimples on my hairline which hurt a lot. I have a reasonably healthy diet & drink a lot of water, but am clueless as to how im supposed to wash my face to achieve perfect pimple-free skin. I think i have combination skin…
What products should i use? I heard that you should use an exfoliator, a moisturizer, & a toner, is that right? What order, & how do i apply them & remove them? What temperature water?
Also, how many times a day should i wash my face. I heard that it’s twice, so does that mean as soon as i wake up & just before i go to sleep?
Thank you, & any other tips or tricks would be very helpful!

I asked a different question earlier, but made a decision based on an answer I got. So because of this, leads me to a new question. I have been using Neutrogena Deep Clean (normal to oily skin) cleanser along with the Combination Skin Moisturizer every other day, both morning & night. However, I have gotten back into using makeup. Sometimes I wear foundation but mostly I just wear pressed powder (with a concealer every once in a while.) Anyway, I recently bought the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes to help remove makeup. Even though normally I just remove it with my cleanser, it still manages to leave just a tad behind. because of my makeup use, I guess I will have to start using my cleanser everyday now (or whenever I’m wearing my makeup.) would this be harmful? I have sensitive skin, & the reason I cleanse every other day was because when I first started using it, which was everyday at first, it dried a certain area of my skin out along with a little irritation. Even tho the bottle says that it’s normal when you first start out, I’m still a little concerned although my face seems to be very used to the cleanser now & works great. Also, will it bother your skin if you use both the makeup towelette following the cleanser because of the different ingredients?

I’m 15,and I’m in color guard.Color guard/Band practice is everyday after school,from 3:15pm-5:15pm.I am bronze colored & have very oily skin,and i have some acne scars,so I try to hide them with make-up.Well,the make-up im going to use is Revlon Color stay for oily/combination skin.
But I have a few questions.
What moisturizer should I use under my make-up?I prefer oil-free,hypo-allergenic,non-comedogenic & something that doesn’t have a treatement,but isn’t expensive.
Ok another question,before practice,should i remove my make-up with a wipey or make-up removing cloth & then just put on light sunblock?I don’t want to wash cause i won’t have time & it’ll just dry out my skin.So should I do that?
Cause after practice I go straight home & take a shower & wash my face.
Also,what is a really good Sunblock for my body?Is Neutrogena with Helioplex good protection?I prefer something that protects really really well,as I live in Texas & the practice is 2 hours everyday

First off, I have pretty clear skin to begin with, so I don’t wear a lot of makeup, I wear Pur Minerals Foundation, Bronzer & Blush everyday. Buut I do only wear a super light amount. I was told that it isn’t the end of the world if I don’t wash my face & take that makeup off, because it is all “natural” & stuff. And I was told that you need to remove your makeup before you wash your face? Which I thought washing your face was doing, so anyways, in my situation, is just washing my face ok?
Second, I’ll be 15 in 2 months, so yeah teenager, which means all those fun hormonal pimples. The only spot I get bad breakouts is my chin. Now I currently don’t wash my face in the morning (I take all makeup off at night, eye, face, everything) I just put on my moisturizer/spf. I just bought the Clinique 3-step skin care product, the lady told me to do it every day, twice a day. She said it would help my chin. Do I really have to?
Third, & last question, is Vasaline(petrolium jelly) really that bad to be used to remove eye makeup? I was told its horrible because of all the ingredients or whatever, but I thought you wanted the eye area to be moisturized.
Anyways, those are my 3 Q’s.
Thank you

I have mild acne in areas & can’t seem to get the correct combo of skin care for anti ageing & acne treatment/prevention. My eye area seems dry I use moisturizer, & shortly after applying liner/shadow/mascara some of it ends up in the lines under my eyes. I’m getting really paranoid with my eyes & them looking ‘aged’ I’m 36yrs & in the 80’s & early 90’s wore the liquid eyeliner that was Tough to remove & I wasn’t very gentle in removing it either. I would rub them hard to get the make-up off & I think now I am beginning to pay for it! Does the Mineral Foundation just add to the aged & tired look???What works????PLEASE HELP!!!

I got burned moderatley 4 days ago, & a small sun blister formed. I did not pop it, & it deflated the next day & formed a scab. Ive been putting moisturizer & aloe on reguraly. Today I was using an oil free scrub to remove the dead skin & the scab started to peel. I hen gently rubbed it off to reveal the new skin. I was wondering if that was a bad idea & how long will the redness from this sunburn alst since its been 4-5 days already. I also have been putting vitamin e ointment & neosporing on the blister & now the new skin.

I am in competetive swimming, & have been for 3 years. I am 13 but about 2 weeks ago my mom told me she needed to start shaving my legs & remove all hair & keep them smooth in order to have better results in swimming.
So every 3rd day after my shower & after I towel off my mom uses a load of that cream on my legs & then uses a razor & after puts on unscented moisturizer.
It helps alot in swimming, & it was required. I don’t have much of a problem with this, but is it normal?
I’ve tried to shave them by myself before, but I accidently cut myself & my mom saw. She also checked & said there was patches & said I was not using enough moisturizer lotion afterwards so she just does it herself.

Okay… So I’m 13, & this is my skin routine(I have combination skin):
Morning:
Wash face with Clean&Clear Detoxifying Morning Burst Cleanser
Splash face with cold water
Moisturize with Clean&Clear Oil-free day moisturizer, SPF 15
Put on concealer, Physician’s formula(Not currently, but will soon)
Powder face with Covergirl Compressed powder(Not currently, but will soon)
NYC brown eyeliner
Curl Eylashes (Not currently, but will soon)
Lipgloss
Night:
Remove make-up with…(Reccomendations? Under 10$ please, & I don’t use the internet)
Scrub face with St.Ive’s blackhead scrub
Splash face with cold water
Moisturize with Clean&Clear Night Moisturizer
Anything I need to improve? Please reccomend!

I have tried scar removing moisturizers, like Mederma! Is there any home remedies, besides lemon juice or honey. My scar is on my forehead, & it’s like an “x” a BIG one, & on top of that i have a HUGE forhead. I wanna boost my self-isteem but everytime i look in the mirror i feel like i would be pretty if that scar was gone( i know you can’t make a scar completely go away) but atleast make it light enough so you can’t notice!

If it can, how long would it take for the bags to get removed?
Thanks

i have EXTREMELY sensitive & dry skin, so sometimes i even avoid using a facial cleanser since it dries out my skin. but how would i COMPLETELY remove tinted moisturizer gently? Thanks!!

Is there a cream or a moisturizer to remove pores? Can you tell me the name? And also I use a cream to get fair, what are the consequence for using that cream?
