Easy Skin Care Questions?
Labels:
your skin care x
Q. Keep in mind that I have normal skin. And I'm sorry if you don't know the product stated in some of the questions.
1. Is the "Johnson & Johnson Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash" a good cleanser? If not, then what cleanser do you recommend?
2. Is the "Johnson & Johnson Purpose Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion" a good moisturizer? (Is it even a moisturizer?) If it is not a good moisturizer (if it is one), then what moisturizer do you recommend?
3. What is the best facial scrub to use, to exfoliate my face? I can't seem to find one.
4. If you use a moisturizer that has:
SPF 15
UVA/UVB
Sunscreen
...
then do you still have to apply a separate sunscreen once your done moisturizing?
5. Is a toner necessary?
6. Is an eye cream necessary?
7. What's the difference between SPF 15 and SPF 30?
I hope you can answer most of these questions. I'm a beginner at this stuff, and make up, so I would really appreciate it if you'd answer as much as you can. Thank you. :)

Hi,
If you truly have normal skin, that means you have easy skin. I am so jealous!
Yes, Johnson & Johnson Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash is a good cleanser.
I say you stay away from Johnson & Johnson Purpose Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion" a good moisturizer. Why? It contain potentially sensitizing preservatives methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone. These preservatives are better in rinse-off products.
You do not need a scrub. Scrub as a physical exfoliant is not on par with a good gentle chemical exfoliant. Why? Chemical exfoliant provide an even treatment as it unglue dead skin cells. The acid particles are evenly disperse on the area of skin applied. With scrub agents, you have to manaully scrub away dead skin cells and there is no gaurantee you scrub evenly. Who has he time to look in a microscope and see if they got an even exfoliation from scrubbing? No practical.
Try Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion. No fragrance or colorant and very affordable.
But if you insist on a scrub, try Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Scrub or St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub.
If you use a moisturizer with SPF, then that IS your sunscreen. If you want board spectrum sunscreen protection, your sunscreen need to contain either avobenzone, ecamsule, titanium dixoide, or zinc oxide in general.
Toners are NOT necessary. Most toners in the market can dry you out. Why? They tend to contain a hefty amount of alochol that do nothing be "degrease" oil. Too much of it can rip your skin of its natural lipids. Plus, toners in the market tend to have a few or several plant irritants or other irritants such as menthol, pepperment, lemon oil, lavendar, etc. Menthol or peppermient give you that cooling and tingling sensation. menthol function as a counter irritant you can find an anti-itch cream, but you do not need it for daily use. It replace one irritation for another. Why do that? Lemon or levanar oil/extract have research to show some components in them to be phototoxic. Skip the toner! There are very few good ones. Just forget it really.
YOU DO NOT NEED AN EYE CREAM. A cream, serum, lotion, whatever that is good for your body is good for your face and so your neck and your ears and your eyes.
Expensive does not mean better
There is no miracle ingredient. Sorry.
SPF 15 provide about 93% percent of the sun's ray. SPF 30 provide about 97%. Any sunscreen with SPF higher than 30 is going to give you the same as if you apply SPF 30.
Higher SPF just means you get to to speak more time in the sun without getting a sunburn. How much time? That depend on your skin tone. For example, say porcelain skin tone burns in 10 minutes. Then SPF 15 X 10 minutes means you get 150 more before you get a burn. Higher SPF also mean you get increase irritation potential when it comes to synthetic sunscreen agents.
Do not mix moisturizer with sunscreen because you run the risk of diluting the sun protection factor.
If you want a broad spectrum synthetic sunscreen, try Neutrogena Age Shield SPF 55. No fragrance or colorant.
If you want a broad spectrum physical susncreen, try Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunblock SPF 30. No fragrance or colorant.
If you have dry or very dry skin in the winter or what not, try Alba Bontanica Very Emollient Sunblock Mineral Protection, Fragrance Free SPF 30 because it has more of an emollient base.
Best wishes.
