Okay, so i'm looking for something natural that doesn't have many chemicals in it so I can clear my face better using natural products. Is there anything natural that I could use everyday to wash my face? Something that actually works. I have combination/oily skin if that helps any.
Answer
hi, not everyone will benefit from the same brand. you need to assess your skin type and then find a product to suit you. i find that if you use a good cleanser to suit your skin type then you are almost there on having perfect skin. make sure you use a good method to apply your cleanser otherwise your not making the most of a good cleanser. this is what i do:
STEP ONE: make sure your hands are clean otherwise your just spreading dirt. thensplash your face with warm water.
STEP TWO: squeeze a small amoount of your cleanser into your palms or a small cotton washcloth.
STEP THREE: apply the cleanser to your face using a circular motion. make sure you cover all areas (forehead, nose, chin, cheeks, neck etc). massage your face for about a minute. allow the cleanser to penetrate the skin for a few minutes.
STEP FOUR: rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. make sure you have removed all traces of the cleanser. you can use a face sponge, a muslin cloth or cotton pads to remove your cleanser. at the end, rinse your face with cold water to shrink the enlarged pores and to improve blood circulation.
STEP FIVE: dry your face with a facial towel.
STEP SIX: once you have cleansed your skin, you should begin the next step- toner.
...so, whats the best cleanser?
some of the best cleansers like i said before arent fancy and expensive. here i list the best face cleansers on the market form cheep to steep.
the best cleansers for... OILY SKIN:
PURPOSE GENTLE CLEANSING WASH: like cetaphil for dry skin, purpose has few bells and whistles- a good thing for a cleanser. this soap free, oil free liquid lathers away dirt, makeup and oil but doesnt leave skin so dry it reacts by overproducing oil. pretty good job for under £5.
CLINIQUE WASH-AWAY GEL CLEANSER: this classic cleanser can be a bit drying, so test this product before you buy. a clebrity must-have cleanser.
SHISEIDO PURENESS CLEANSING GEL: gentle and soft. youll love the way this cleanser smells (and cleans you skin).
LANCOME CLARIFIANCE OIL-FREE GEL CLEANSER: this cleanser will leave your oily skin feeling luxurious but not oily. the only downside is its price.
the best cleansers for... NORMAL/COMBINATION SKIN:
DOVE ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS SELF FOAMING CLEANSER: this cleanser is a great standby from cold winters to humid summers. this basic cleanser washes away oil and dead skin cells without stripping skin of its nutrients. and its cheap too.
CETAPHIL GENTLE SKIN CLEANSER: this is the best budget cleanser. full-stop.
BLOOM FACIAL CLEANERS: this aromatheropy cleanser has lavender and grapefruit essential oils- great for your skin and smell gorgeous.
FACE STOCKHOLM FOAMING FACE CLEANSER: a great product thats not drying. however its quite pricey.
then just use a good toner and moisturiser. also if you have time, treat yourself to a homemade facial mask once a week (you can find loads of recipies on the internet) and a good facial scrub.
hope this helps

Skin care?

Ok should i get a 3 step skin care "system". Or just a good cleanser and something to use as spot treatment. And Which stuff? What should i use???
Answer
I highly suggest three step systems.
cleansers are often very drying to the skin and remove natural oils your skin needs.
toners remove excess cleanser residue, left over dirt in the pores and restores the pH balance in the skin instantly (it takes about 30 minutes without a toner.)
moisturizers are essential. don't ever skip this step. .. EVER.
Pimples can form if your skin is dehydrated (which also can be why your skin is oily). If your skin is dehydrated it will overproduce oil and clog the pores. The best regimen for healthy and hopefully clear skin:
1. Wash with a gentle cleanser (don't overwash though)
2. Tone with a moisturizing and alcohol free toner.
3. Moisturize with a product that is either oil free or non-cosmodegenic with a SPF.
4. Exfoliate 2 or so times a week.
My regimen:
1. Proactiv solution in the evening when my breakouts are more intense. (but doesn't work very well on small whiteheads or blackheads)
OR
1. Origins Get Down Deep Pore Clay Cleanser (really good for white heads! got rid of the small bumps on my face in about a week. clay cleansers or masks are really good for the skin, but can be slightly drying if it's a cleanser)
2. Origins A Perfect World Toner. this is an alcohol free toner that has white tea in it which is great for hydrating the skin and preventing environmental damage.
3. Clinique dramatically different moisturizing GEL. I use the gel even though I have dry skin because it is oil free.
4. 10% Benzoyl Peroxide as a spot treatment. This you can get from target but it might be more expensive. I get mine from Kaiser Permanente for about 5 dollars, and it's not a prescription. It's very drying so use it in small amounts or just continuously moisturize when it's flakey. I apply this three times a day on the problem area, my acne goes away in a couple days.
Recommended Drug Store Products:
1. St. Ives Apricot Scrub (I use gentle)
2. Nivea Moisturizing Toner
3. Oil free or Non-cosmodegenic moisturizer with SPF. (Neutrogena / Dove / Cetaphil / Garnier )
Exfoliate with an electric toothbrush (like a crest one -- even if that sounds weird) VERY GENTLY across your face with an exfoliating scrub. I do this with L'Oreal Men's expert anti-roughness scrub.
Everyone's skin is different. Whatever you do, don't freak out and rotate your products like crazy. I've done that and it damaged my skin.

What are the steps to Japanese skin care?
Labels:
skin care steps
bluetsuki3
I've seen some scans in Japanese magazines and the girls stick paper on to their faces. I think it's to put on toner, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what is Japanese skin care routine?
Answer
Ever wondered how the Japanese manage to look so young? Women from Japan just don't age at the same rate as most women. It's all due to Japanese skincare secrets. For example, a Japanese woman can be in her mid forties or even fifties and look like she is only in her mid twenties. What's even more astonishing is that high end cosmetics and plastic surgery are rarely involved. The question is...just how do Japanese women, even those who are middle-aged, manage to look like teenagers?
You may be surprised to learn that the secret to Japanese skincare is not entirely involved with what they put on their faces. Many analysts agree that Japanese beauty regimens and skin care is much different from that of the Western world. Reputable autorities state that the Japanese diet plays a big role in their beauty secrets.
Although big chain food franchises such as McDonald's and KFC are a huge success in Japan, they are only regarded and indulged in as an occasional treat. Because Japanese people love seafood, which has an abundance of essential fatty acids, their skin is naturally nourished by it on a regular basis. They believe in food that is prepared simply and as close to it's natural state as possible, free of chemicals. This accounts partially for why their skin appears to remain so supple and smooth well beyond what one would expect.
In Japan, cosmetic and skin care is very different. Chemically, Japanese cosmetics are considerably lighter than those in the Western world. Most Japanese cosmetics are derived from herbs and essential oils, with many containing food substances, one of which is one of the best kept secrets of how the Japanese maintain a youthful and healthy complexion. It is called Phytessence Wakame. Phytessence Wakame is native to Japan and is a type of kelp. Japanese people eat it, whether dried or fresh. What is amazing about it is that it can be transformed into extracts and applied directly to the skin as well, providing dramatic results.
What's In Phytessence Wakame?
As stated above, Phytessence Wakame is a type of kelp. It contains an abundance of vitamins and minerals essential to beautiful skin. It is extremely rich in B-complex vitamins, as well as minerals, calcium, and potassium. In extract form, this ingredient offers superior Japanese skincare, and now you can enjoy the benefits for your skin also. Studies have shown that this amazing ingredient helps to keep skin moisturized, elastic, smooth and, to put it plainly, absolutely beautiful.
How does Phytessence Wakame work?
You could think of Phytessence Wakame as an inhibitor of the bad stuff, in a sense. That is to say, there's an enzyme in our bodies called hyaluronidase. What hyaluronidase does is break down hyaluronic acid, which is absolutely essential to the skin's smoothness, elasticity and youthful appearance.
Just remember and understand that hyaluronidase is not good. Hyaluronic acid is. What Phytessence Wakame does is prevent, or inhibit, the hyaluronidase from breaking down hyaluronic acid, which promotes the healthy skin you want.
So there you have it. Now you know one of Japan's best kept secrets. Japanese skincare is very effective. Keep in mind that diet does play a role in skin health and beauty. That, coupled with a simpler yet highly effective Japanese skincare routine can help you to have the youthful glowing complexion you desire.

What is the best skin care regimen for normal skin?
MauiShaveI
I need a good, 3 step skin care regimen without Salicylic Acid. Help!
Answer
Hello,
I'm confused by your question. You use the word normal skin and salicylic acid at the same time. I'm going to guess you used something for acne that contained salicylic acid and it didn't work well for you.
I would like to know what your skin is like. Do you have any issues? i.e. Dull looking, brown spots, red/irritated, crepey looking skin, crows feet, fine lines, deep lines, or large pores. We're so conditioned to talk about our skin in terms of oily or dry or normal that we lose sight of the issues that bother us.
Feel free to expand upon your question more, so I can give you a precise answer or try the Free skin tool listed in the reference source below. Most people have something they don't like about their skin, so let's start with that.
