Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

How long does it take to see results in a new skin care regimen? I looked online and everyone says something different.

Answer
It depends on the system you are using. I would say a couple of weeks would be fair enough to judge if their is an improvment or not. Take before and after pictures after like three weeks to see if their is a difference. This will give you a better perspective to see if the system is working for you or if it`s just a waste of money.

Tip: If you are staring a new skincare regiman or system, it`s extremely important that you test it out when you are at home and have nowhere to go. I started using Clean and Clear acne system and my eyes were really swollen and my whole face was bright red. It was really scary and apparently I`m allergic to benzoyl peroxide. I had to go to school like that and believe me it wasn`t fun, Ha Ha! Hope I helped.

What skin care brands do dermatologists recommend most?

I'm looking for a new skin care regimen for my acne. I'm planning on going to the dermatologist in several months but I just want to know what brands doctors like and what brands they say to stay away from. Price is not really an issue so feel free to name any product.

Answer
When I have been, they have recommended Cetaphil but I don't remember it working that great for me. But here are ones that did---

Here are some good acne kits that you can buy at the drugstore (if you can't I listed where they are sold). I have used all of them in the past and can recommend them. They are usually around $15-25 and usually last for a month or so. A lot of times if you go on the brand's website there is a $5 off coupon.
