Average skin routine ?

What should the average skin routine be to take care of it and keep it looking healthy (day and night)?

Answer
Well, no one will honestly know what will be best for your skin without knowing your skin type. You select skin care products solely on skin type, not age, sex, weather, or mood. If you are unsure of your complete skin type, then take the questionnaire developed by clinical researcher, broad-certified dermatologist, and author of the Skin Type Solutions, Dr. Leslie Baumann. Register first then take the quiz; afterwards, visit the specified forum that is tailored to your unique skin type to learn more about general skin care and product recommendations.

KEY products/steps you want to look for are: cleanser, exfoliant, retinoids, antioxidant concentrate, and sunscreen. Acne medications and moisturizer are optional depending on your skin type. Below, I have provide a short list of recommendation for both oily and dry skin types.

Cleansers - Olay Foaming Face Wash, Sensitive (Oily & Dry) | CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser (Oily) | CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (Dry)

Exfoliant - Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Triple-Action Toner (Oily) | Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment (Oily) | Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion (Dry) | Paula's Choice Skin Revealing Body Lotion with 10% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (Dry)

Retinoids - talk to your board-certified dermatologist about prescription retinoids such as Retin-A Micro, Tazorac, or Differin. Over-the-counter "retinol" can be your alternative. Although they are less potent, they can produce similar results over a few months. Try SkinCeutical Retinol 0.5 or 1.0 | Skin Medica TriRetinol Complex | Replenix All-Trans Retinol Serum 2-10X | Green Cream Level 3-9. Any of them is suitable for both oily and dry.

Antioxidant concentrate - Paula's Choice RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate (Oily & Dry) | SkinCeuticals CE Ferlic Acid (Oily & Dry) | SkinMedica Vitamin C + E Complex (Oily & Dry).

Sun Protection - Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30-55 (Oily) | Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion SPF 55 (Dry).

Q. So I've left the skin on my face alone (didn't pick on the pimples) kept with my skin care regimen etc... and I've noticed a few blackheads and several (if not plenty) of bumps on my skin. Basically pimples without a head. I'm sooooo tempted to pop all of these and just clear out the gunk but I don't think I should?

Help? How can I clean it out without popping them & scarring myself. I've tried opening the pores with warm water/steam and exfoliating, but it doesn't do anything...?

Answer
A combination approach to skin care thatâs tailored to your specific skin type is the most effective method against acne. If youâre unsure of your complete skin type, then take the questionnaire created by world-renowned cosmetic dermatologist and clinical researcher, Dr. Leslie Baumann. Register first then take the quiz to determine your Baumann Skin Type.

Minimally, four products are required:

1) Cleanser: Any water-soluble cleanser with mild detergents should gently remove cellular debris, sebum, and/or makeup, which preps the skin for topical products.

2) Exfoliant: - β-hydroxy acid (salicylic acid) exfoliant at 1-2% concentration is the gold-standard because

A) it exfoliates both on the surface of the epidermis and within the pore lining to dislodge dead skin cells.
B) its anti-inflammatory property soothes redness.
C) Its antibacterial property kills acne bacteria.
D) it enhances penetration of therapeutic products.

If β-hydroxy causes skin sensitivity, then the alternative is an α-hydroxy acid exfoliant such mandelic acid, malic acid, glycolic acid, or lactic acid.

3) Acne Medication: The gold-standard is benzoyl peroxide at 2.5-10% concentration, which seeps into the pore and releases oxygen to destroy the bacteria.

If benzoyl peroxide causes skin sensitivity, then the alternative is sulfur, niacinamide, and

4) Sunscreen/Sunblock: UV-rays can trigger the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum and exacerbates acne. Proper sun protection eliminate this risk.

Itâs imperative to liberally apply and reapply sunscreen daily, especially after every 2 hours of direct sun exposure, excessive perspiration, and/or swimming. Make sure the sunscreen is broad-spectrum, which shields against UVA and UVB rays.

----- ----- -----

Improvements may take up to 1-2 months depending on the severity of the condition. Patience, diligence, and compliance to the regimen are imperative.

If OTC products are ineffective, then a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon can offer more aggressive and effective treatments such as Rx-strength topical Vitamin A or benzoyl peroxide with antibiotic, chemical peels, light therapies, or a combination of them. The ONLY oral drug that is considered a âcureâ is isotretinoin, which shrinks the sebaceous glands and significantly reduces the bacteria population.

I have sensitive skin and I have mild acne but I break out really bad. I don't wear any foundation or concealer on my face so that wouldn't be a reason for it.

Answer
There's none, really.

If you want to treat and keep acne under control, then you'll need to understand its causes. The main problem is the combination of sebum, irregular shedding of dead skin cells, and the propionibacterium acnes. The bacteria feeds off the sebum and proliferate. The oil sticks to the dead skin cells and form a clog. And there you have it, zits.

I wouldn't recommend makeup, either, can that just covers up the problem, not treat it.

The main issues with homemade masks are freshness, purity, allergens, stability, to list a few. Lemon and lime have components that can exfoliate and kill bacteria, but the citrus fruits also contain sensitizing chemicals. Do you want to put that on sensitive skin? No. Avocado and olive oil sounds wonderful, but their fatty content are best for dry skin, not oily/acne prone. Cucumber won't do anything. Move on.

Do your skin a favor and go to the pharmacy and buy the right products for your skin type.

How to achieve silky soft and smooth skin?

I have little tiny blemishes and bumps on my skin, and some dry (others rough) patches here and there. How do I get the bumps flat, rid of the blemishes, and the dry patches? And make my skin visibly softer and smoother?

Answer
Regardless of sex, melanin content, age, gender, weather, mood, time, or location of acne breakouts, the treatment protocol for acne is the same.

In short, acne is caused by a combination of factors including bacteria, sebum, and dead skin cells. Bacteria feed off sebum, which produce inflammatory by-products. Sebum and dead skin cells stick together and form clogs.

When it comes to selecting your cosmetic or skin care products, you should base your selection primarily on your SKIN TYPE. There are 16 different skin types! If you are unsure of your complete skin type, then take the questionnaire developed by world-renown clinical researcher, board-certified dermatologist, and author of the book, âThe Skin Type Solutionâ, Dr. Leslie Baumann. Register first then take the quiz. Afterward, visit the specified forum that is tailored to your unique Baumann skin type for product recommendations and discussions about your skin concerns, in particular, acne.

In order to TREAT and CONTROL acne, you will need well-designed routine:

1)A well-formulated water-soluble cleanser to remove oil, dirt, dead skin cells, and makeup.
2)A well-formulated, pH-adjusted, beta-hydroxy acid exfoliant with salicylic acid in 1-2% concentration to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and exfoliate on top of skin and within the pore lining to unclog any plug. If you are allergic to salicylic acid (or aspirin), then your alternative can be an alpha-hydroxy acid such as glycolic acid or mandelic acid.
3)A well-formulated benzoyl peroxide medication in 2.5-10% concentration to kill acne bacteria. The lower the concentration the lower the risk of side effects including dryness, peeling, redness, stinging, etc.
4)A well-formulated, matte-finish, and lightweight sunscreen with SPF 15 or greater to protect your skin from UV-inflammation, which can exacerbate acne, as well as prevent skin cancer. It is imperative to reapply after swimming, excessive perspiration, or every 2 hours for optimal photoprotection, especially in the sun.

NOTE: a well-formulated product usually contains low fragrance or is free of fragrance and dyes.

Results can take up to a few weeks to 1-2 months with diligence, compliance, and patience. If this conservative routine is ineffective, then you should consult with a board-certified dermatologist for a topical prescription and/or in-office light/laser therapies. The last resort for acne is isotretinoin (formerly known as Accutane).

I am 16, Male, and my skin is really spotty/oily. I use all different kinds of face-wash but my skin had hundres of blackheads and loads of spots. I just want smooth skin. Are there any tips you can give me to clear out my pores and make my skin nice? I'd really appreciate it, thank-you.

How do i get my skin lighter?

When i was a baby and when i was a child my skin was light. Now people are calling me dark wherever i go. I'm not insanely dark im just dark. I need something very effective to lighten my skin. I don't want any lame answers. PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ help me.

Answer
There are a few effective drugstore and online options. But, to really even out your skin tone, you need combination approach to skin care. The key treatment products are exfoliant and skin-lightener while sunscreen helps prevent future darkening. Exfoliant sheds the dead pigmented skin off quicker while the skin-lightener inhibits the production of melanin.

First and foremost, you need to know your skin type. You select skin care products based on skin type, not age, sex, skin color, weather, etc. If you are unsure of you complete skin type, then take the questionnaire developed by world renowned board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Leslie Baumann. Register first then take the quiz. Afterward, visit the specified forum that is tailored to your unique skin type for product recommendations and discussions pertaining to your skin issues.

Since you are probably still in puberty, I will assume that you have oily/combination skin type. Here are my list of affordable product recommendations: NOTE: most of them you can find at your local drugstore.

Cleanser - Olay Foaming Face Wash, Sensitive | Clean & Clear Foaming Facial Cleanser Sensitive Skin | Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser | Boots Expert Anti-Blemish Cleansing Foam

Exfoliant - Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Triple-Action Toner (if you are sensitive to alcoohol, then avoid this one) | Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment | Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion

Skin Lightener - Hydroquinone is the GOLD-STANDARD for treating hyperpigmentation. It is safe and effective. Do not use with BP at the same time because it can cause stain albeit you can wash it off. Try Ambi Fade Cream, Oily | Skin Effects by Dr. Jeffrey Dover Flawless Effects Advanced Brightening Complex | Paula's Choice RESIST Clearly Remarkable Skin Lightening Gel. The Paula's Choice product includes an exfoliant, so there is no need to buy a separate one if you decides to go with Paula's Choice.

Sunscreen - If you do not want more hyperpigmentation, you need to wear sunscreen. It also significantly reduce your skin of skin cancer. Yes, dark skin people are not exempt! Try Neutrogena Dry-Touch Sunblock Lotion SPF 30/45/55 | Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion SPF 55 | Coppertone Sport Lotion SPF 15/30/50.

Results may take at least 1-2 months. Do not expect miracles. You should see "some" improvement, then, as you continually follow the regimen, you will get full results. How fast you get the results depend on the severity of your condition and how diligent and compliant you are with the program.

I want to become a few shades lighter-like the skin colour that's underneath my arms...or hidden beneath clothes. I've been considering skin lightening/whitening creams but don't believe they actually worked-or that my skin would be toned.
Has anyone tried something that worked? How long did it take for your results? How many shades lighter?

Answer
I am assuming that your facial skin is darker than your body skin (or "hidden beneath clothes"). If you have naturally (light) tan to dark/olive skin tones, then your skin is more prone to darkening due to unprotected sun exposure.

So first tip: it is IMPERATIVE that you wear board-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 15 or greater that absorbs both UV-A and UV-B rays. Sure, a naturally dark-skinned person has a build-in sunscreen provided by their melanin content, but it is NOT adequate photoprotection.

It is difficult to answer your questions as I do not know exactly what shade of skin color you have now. Just understand that you cannot BLEACH your skin with the available products.

All over-the-counter (OTC) "skin-lightening" products are low in strength and mostly work on superficial hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the melanin formation process, not removing (bleaching) the pigments. A lot of the products contain hydroquinone (HQ), the GOLD-STANDARD for treating hyperpigmentation, at 1-2%. Results may take at least 2-3 months with COMPLIANCE, DILIGENCE, AND PATIENCE combined with a well-design skin care regimen for optimal results. If your skin discoloration is non-responsive to OTC HQ, then your next choice is a prescription-strength HQ at the strength of 4% or greater that you get from a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. One downside of HQ is that you have to take a break 1-month break after 3/4-month treatment because the skin can develop tachyphylaxis (non-responsive to the drug).

If you are sensitive to HQ for whatever reason, then there are a list of other alternatives (see source #). But, you have to understand that you the trade-off is less efficacy.

Furthermore, there is NO SUCH THING as the BEST skin-lightening product. You select a skin care product based solely on SKIN TYPE, not age, sex, weather, etc. Thus, a "best product" for one person may be the "worst" product for another. If you are unsure of your complete skin type, take the questionnaire developed by clinical research, board-certified dermatologist, and author of The Skin Type Solutions, Dr. Leslie Baumann. Register first then take the quiz; afterwards, visit the specified forum that is tailored to your unique skin type for product recommendations and discussions about skin-lightening (products).

Second tip: use a well-formulated acid exfoliant.

Try: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment with 2% salicylic acid (Oily Skin) | Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion with 10% glycolic acid (Dry Skin)

Third tip: use a product with hydroquinone

Try: Paula's Choice RESIST Remarkable Skin Lightening Lotion with 2% HQ & 7% glycolic acid (Dry Skin); Paula's Choice RESIST Remarkable Skin Lightening Gel with 2% HQ & 2% salicylic acid (Oily Skin) | Skin Effects by Dr. Jeffrey Dover Advanced Brightening Complex with 2% HQ, kojic acid, and retinol (Oily/Dry) | Ambi Skin Discoloration Fade Cream, Normal or Oily Skin with 2% HQ. If you choose one from Paula's Choice, then you do not need an extra exfoliant.

How cold does the water have to be to close your pores?

cause I think the cold water is drying my skin out, or maybe i was opening my pores with the water too hot?

Answer
Who ever told you cold water closes pores is a liar.

1) (Very) cold water temperature can shock and burn the skin, impairing the skin barrier, making it less efficient at preventing water loss from your skin. A healthy skin barrier contains different types of lipids (ceramides, cholesterol, & fatty acids). These lipids create a hydrophobic barrier to prevent water from evaporating up into the air.

2) (Very) hot water temperature can shock and burn the skin. Hot water cannot open pores - that is another lie. Warm water is enough to "soften" the pore so extraction is made easy. Please do not steam the face. The same consequence found in cold temperature applies here.

3) the size of pores is predetermined by genetics. Plus, if genetics says you have very oily skin, that is obvious that you have enlarged pores. As you constantly produce oil, your pore size expand and is exhausted. You can only go so far with skin care products. Even the most absorbent product will do so much or nothing if your oil glands is hyperactive. The only want to stop oil production is with the prescription drug, isotretinoin, because it shrinks the oil glands --> no more oil --> no more acne or blackheads.

4) you can "refine" the shape of the pore if you have a clog. Use exfoliant like salicylic acid that can exfoliate within the pore to dislodge the clog.

Bottom line: always wash yourself with lukewarm/tepid warm and use a gentle cleanser that is suitable for your skin type. You cannot close or open your pores. Sorry if I sound dismal, but that is the honest truth.

If you are unsure of your complete skin type, take the questionnaire developed by world-renown and broad-certified dermatologist, Dr. Leslie Baumann. Register then take the questionnaire; afterward, visit the specified forum that is tailored to your unique skin type for production recommendation and discussions.
