What skin care product/routine do you recommend?
Labels:
skin care after 60
Kc
I am 14 and my skin is fair, not white, but pretty darn close. I have white/blackheads all over my forehead and near my eyebrows, and I occasionally get a pimple, but not very often. I do wear makeup, but it's very basic. Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foundation and Physicians Formula Blush. I don't wear concealer because, like I said, I don't usually get giant read pimples.
I'm looking for something that can preferably get rid of the things on my forehead, and I'm trying to do this without completely wiping out my wallet. If I wanted to do that, I'd just go to the dermatologist.
But anyways, I do try and stick to whatever routine I have, but I need something where I can slip up for a day and not pay for it the next day.
Thank you to anyone who tries to help
Except the people who leave stupid answers
...you know who you are
Thank you again!

I've had the same skin care routine since I was 9 years old. I'm almost 60 now, and I think I'm doing so good so far. Look @ me now!
Good skin care comes from your good genes, good skin care (see below) and all the healthy foods from Mother Nature, not made by man, not beauty products, because they are a billion dollar business, until you wash them again.
Proactive is the most advertised acne products out there. They're even getting paid celebrities to do an informercial. On the radio, they're giving them away with FREE SHIPPING and a month's supply if you call NOW.
Any kind of facial wash, you're leaving something toxic behind, it's not a matter of convenience, it's a billion dollar business that can do more harm than good to your acne.
Take a shower everyday, use washcloth to exfoliate and bath & body wash. Hydrogen peroxide does wonders for acne. Visit their website for more tips & other uses. ONLY $1.
Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you're actually spreading it around.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Use a bath & body wash like Suave, Irish Spring, Dove Body & Face wash in the shower, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.
The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don't use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry. Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day. And programmed your mind to do this day after day, for the rest of your life.
The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone's problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!
Sometimes just the oil on your face from make up and lotions, even from your hair can travel to your face causing acne to come out. Others, from stress, hormones & diet or foods.
Other skin care:
1. Staying out of the sun. If you have gotten sunburned before you're 18, you'll have dark spots or brown spots, some get freckles and those will get darker and bumpier as you get older. It's best not to make them darker or bumpy, and staying out of the sun will prevent that. Just from the heat, can make anyone flaky. I use my wide brim hat everywhere I go, and while I'm inside a car as a rider, I use blanket over the window or sit where it's shady. Lotions does not protect you from sunburn, same with cancer and could permanently discolor your skin. Lotions does not protect you from skin disease.
2. Don't go in a tanning bed. You'll aged 10-15 years faster.
3. Bathing or showering in hot water and too much chlorine can make you looking like 'dishpan hands'. Use warm water.
4. Use a washcloth when taking a shower. I use Bath & Body (Suave, Dove, Irish Spring, etc.) wash for body & face. No baths! The less you're in the water, the less you'll get wrinkles.
5. For oily skin, the less you fuss with your skin, the better. Keep your face oil-free & dry from dirt & perspiration. Blot it with a tissue or blotter, and keep them dry. Using powder foundation, blush & eyeshadow is best. Less is best, less product poisoning. Google Elizabeth Taylor when she's 16, then Google her when she's 79.
6. For your hands, wear gloves winter, spring, fall, and wear gloves for every chores you do, so you don't have to wash them often. In the garden, office, kitchen. Thank God for those! Too bad they don't have ones for feet.

Any good tips for skin care?
Shanon
I have fairly sensitive skin, and I have been breaking out a lot lately. I have tried pretty much everything from simply washing with Dove soap to using Proactive, however, I have had no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a product that works particularly well? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Answer
I always used to have skin problems and I also tried just about everything... Some things worked better than others, but most either didn't work for long, or were simply too much effort or money. So, one day I finally decided to go see a dermatologist. The copay was about 60 dollars or something and that was the worst of it. He looked at my face, determined my skin type and what it needed, then prescribed me some medicine. I have naturally dry skin so he gave me a special prescription lotion and also a pill that I take every night. The medicine itself is only around 10 dollars! It was completely worth it... I was zit free after only a week without oily or dry skin side effects and the medicine is light and simple... nothing that messes with your hormones.
Some of the tips he gave me were to make sure I didn't go to bed with makeup on, to not put lotion on my face (lotion actually clogs your pores and causes zits to increase), and to only wash with something simple like dial soap. He told me that it's one of the biggest mistakes people make is to buy all these heavily advertised brands of soaps, lotions, etc to keep your face clean. They come with all sorts of ingredients that only hurt your face.
Dial soap, no lotion, and a cheap prescription from a one time visit to a good doctor will do the trick. Good luck, sweetie!
