nmWhich is better- Face Wash or Facial Scrub for acne?
I use a combination of both, actually. I use a face wash twice a day (morning and night) and prepare a facial scrub once a week. Face wash will remove the impurities from the top layer of the skin, but will not do much as far as the deeper layers of the skin and pores where the problems with acne come from anyway. When you follow up with a facial scrub, the pores will open up and all that dirt and excess oil causing acne will come out. You can also use a facial steam which will enhance cleansing even further (great recipe here: http://www.skin-care-recipes-and-remedie鈥?/a>
I have found a great recipe for facial cleanser, you can see it here: http://www.skin-care-recipes-and-remedie鈥?/a>
Do it regularly, watch what you eat, and the results will follow, guaranteed.Which is better- Face Wash or Facial Scrub for acne?
Either is fine.
use face wash every day, and a scrub only a few times a week
Facial scrub can damage the sensitive skin on your face if used too much. Use a good facial wash every day (skinlogics cleansing gel) and a good facial scrub (skin logics facial scrub) only about two times a week.
hope this helps out! ((:
Face wash twice a day, scrub/exfoliate once a week.

Facial scrub for seriously dry skin? ?
For anybody who has dry/reactive/sensitive skin-
I just started using a cream with retinol in it recently. I already have skin that is prone to dryness, but this has added to the dryness and has resulted in a ton of peeling. I have tried a few scrubs over the past week, but none have been useful as far as exfoliating the flaky skin.
What is a good exfoliant that you would recommend for very flaky skin? I am looking for one that is considerably strong.Facial scrub for seriously dry skin? ?
I'd say The Body Shop's range of exfoliators, cleansers, masks, moisturizers etc for dry/flaky skin.
The most amazing product for me is Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. It would fix it over night! Give it a try :)
Good luck.Facial scrub for seriously dry skin? ?
Table salt will do the trick.Put a tsp. salt in the palm of your hand.Add a little water,it should look like dry paste.Then use a wash cloth and slowly move in small circles all over your face.Be very careful and do not get too close to your eyes.Rinse your face and repeat again.When you have finished the second time,make sure you rinse your face well.Last,apply a moisturizing lotion.Do this once a day for 4 days and then do it every three days.Your skin will look great and feel so soft.
It could actually be a dietry need you may want to take some vitamins such as fish oil. also exfolianting is good but if u r doing it on a daily basis it can acutally be very damaging and extend your problem. exfoliate a minium of one time every wk and use face creme daily with spf of at least 15 in it.
Id go to ur doctor and ask for a referal to ur nearest skin specialist that would be your best option.
Best of luck

I have a question about exfoliating facial scrub..?!?
Hey, I am currently using Clean and Clear Morning Burst Detoxifying Face Scrub, and its great, and today, i felt like picking up a new c%26amp;c face scrub, this time a C%26amp;C Deep Action Exfoliating face scrub, and I'm going to use it either tonight, or this morning, but if i use the deep action exfoliating scrub every day (in the morning) will my face be over exfoliated?? I'm just going to use it every day, not every day AND night. will that be okay?
thanks.I have a question about exfoliating facial scrub..?!?
I use this St. Ives Apricot scrub on my face and body and it works miracles on my skin. I use it every other day and I sopa with Clean and Clear Facial Cleanser (amber colour) and my skin is so smooth and feels wonderful and looks great, I am 65 years old. It also keeps the wrinkles away.. I have none. You will never exfoliate too much unless you scrub very hard. Moisturize after use though.I have a question about exfoliating facial scrub..?!?
You don't want to exfoliate everyday. You can strip your skin of the healthy layers of skin and oils by doing that. Scrub should only be used once or twice a week. If your skin really needs it, you can use it a little more often, but everyday is not good for the skin.
I used to work in skin care.
Exfoliating scrub is for getting rid of death skin cells, and for that your skin actually doesn't need a daily scrub. When you use scrub very often in a long period, your skin can get very dry and even irritated. It's better to use it about 2 times a week!
Yes, 3 times a week is enough. I have some permanent damage on my face from over exfoliating. Now mine was just regular exfoliate, its even worse if you use those containing AHA because they really strip the skin.
I had the same Problem In High school stay away from soda drink apple Juice oj Pineapple Banana and More watter with some fish oil start with a big Loaf Of Bread .
no your skin would just be extremely fine!

New Dove facial scrub?
I was wondering if any of you have tried this new product? It is a wand with an attached cloth that foams up under hot water. You turn it on and it basically does the work for you. I like the idea of it because it means less washcloths I have to do in my laundry. Thanks!New Dove facial scrub?
I have it and for me, it works great! I just bought it i think a month ago, and my face doesn't feel as it did before. I would recomend it to you :) Just know, some people's skins are different!

I have a facial cleanser, scrub, and lotion. Should I use all three daily?
I'm 25, don't have any pimples, not oily or too dry, when should I use these 3 products?
Clean %26amp; clear makeup cleanser, Clean %26amp; Clear Oxygenating scrub, Clean %26amp; Clear oxygenating face lotionI have a facial cleanser, scrub, and lotion. Should I use all three daily?
The scrub you will need once a week or so, the other products you can use daily.I have a facial cleanser, scrub, and lotion. Should I use all three daily?
The cleanser and lotion should be fine to use every day. However, I would use the scrub only once every 3 days or once a week. Using the scrub everyday will irritate your skin.
stop using everything that you are using
use a gentle cleanser and a moisturizer for normal skin
at this age and with your skin type.. you don't need anything else
You should always use the cleanser 2 times a day, morning and night.
A toner should be used after cleansing 2 times a day, an excellent homemade toner is to take green tea, let it steep, and then add it into a spray bottle(small), great toner!!!
Exfoliation should be used in accordance with your skin type.
Generally 2 a week is good, always remember sun screen, after exfolation your skin is more subject to a burn.
Don't use the scrub every day. If you're washing with a cleanser every day you don't need the scrub every day. Wash with the cleanser every morning before makeup and every night to take off the makeup. Every other day with the scrub just to get all the makeup buildup. Use the moisturizer everyday. (I put mine on before I put on my makeup - it seems to make my base go on smoother.)
you sud use it weekly or once in 15 days depending on your skin condition...also you can use ultrasound cleanser to give better effects
Definitely use the cleanser and lotion every day. Actually it is best to do it both morning and night. I'm not familiar with the scrub you have but depending on how 'rough' it is, I would only suggest using it two or three times a week. If it is really gentle, it could be used every day.
The cleanser I would use daily, morning and night - especially at night since you would be taking off makeup at that time. Also, I would use the lotion after the cleanser. I've heard from countless ladies that this is where we don't do so well: in the mosturizing department. Using lotion one to two times daily will help with wrinkles later in life. As for the scrub, I would use it once a week. You definitely don't want to overdo it or acne and redness could occur from irritation.
your fine just the way you are. save your money
the scrub should be used once a week but the cleanser and lotion use daily
I suppose its gd, but like what others say u can use scrub like 2 times a week. but i would like to add on, after your scrub you can like do masks, paper or washed off(dun use peel off as it will hurt your skin and don't use deep cleansing clay/mud as its more for oily skin it will make your skin dry) as after scrubing it will cleans off the dead skin and white%26amp;black heads, and there will be spaces empty, in your skin if you don't work on masks to fill them up and nourish your skin, the dirts and stuff will start filling and not long later your skin will b filled with black and white heads again.
If you hv little bit of wrinkles i recommend L'oreal wrinkle filler, if your pores r big u can try clinques pore minimizer. If everything is fine just stick to what you have and probably mask.
These products sound like they will either oil up your face or scrub it dry. I suggest using the scrub probably every other weekend, the lotion just a tiny squirt at night, and the cleanser every morning and night if it isn't too harsh. If your skin is oily, you might not want to do the lotion alot. I use proactiv, but only the lotion. Do not use toner, I am telling you. Also, the clean and clear morning burst leaves you feeling fresh and clean in the morning. Try it. I know you'll love it. Also, the Neutrogena Icy Scrub. I also use the oxygenating scrub, too!
well tech. your only suppose to scrub once or twice a week but i do a little scrub everyday then deff. wash on lotion up daily.. in every magazine and article i have read it says to only wash twice a day so you dont dry your skin out and then there no limit to lotion its good for your skin!
The cleanser and lotion can both be used twice daily, but the scrub I would only use twice a week or so.commericial loan

Honey and Lemon, facial scrub?
I am looking for homemade ingredients that can be used as a facial scrub. I am not too fond of using salt and/or sugar as facial cleansers. I was wondering would a mixture of honey, lemon, and warm water do good?Honey and Lemon, facial scrub?
This facemask uses lemon and works great! It is good for tightening pores and preventing breakouts.
7 medium size strawberries(I use frozen and then thaw them)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp water
Purade strawberries in a blender, then mix with the lemon juice and water. Put on a cotton ball and apply to face. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and then wash off. Works amazingly! I love it!
Hope this helpsHoney and Lemon, facial scrub?
you could call the store Lush and they would tell you or you could buy some nice homeade ones there. Ive used them they work really well:)
Not unless you want bees swarming you.
Lemon is very acidic, but packed with Vitamin C. Try putting in just a few drops of lemon juice (unless uve already got a recipe in hand?)
I don't see it as a scrub if theres no sugar/salt to exfoliate... could be called a mask i suppose? the honey's gonna b rather sticky... so i wouldnt see it as a nice scrub/cleanser... but its up to your preferences :)
try adding a teaspoon of milk to the recipe :) it tightens your skin and smoothens out your skintone.
another tip i think would work would be putting on some lemon juice and steaming up your face (i.e. hot water in basin with your face over it, covered with a towel). it'll open your pores and the vitamin would be absorbed. tried and tested ;) it works on my blackheads on my nose.
Lemon and honey wont make a scrub they will make a mask, to get a scrub you will have to use sugar or something granulated to get a scrub.

Can i use facial scrub everyday?
I wouldn't recommend it. It can irritate skin and make it red. Usually the products have a ';Use one to two times a week'; on it, or at least a few that I've used did.Can i use facial scrub everyday?
I've read everyones answer and I'm not too sure I agree. All labels say to use it 1 or 2 a week. Of course you should use a moisturiser afterwards, or even better, a hydrating mask. I suppose it depends on your skin. If you feel 1 or 2 a week isn't enough then use it every 2nd day, always following up with a hydrating moisturiser and or mask. If after the 1st week your skin hasn't dried up or isn't peeling slightly, only then try using it every day. Everyones skin is different, so you have to be able to judge how often you use the scrub by the way your skin feels after each week of use.Can i use facial scrub everyday?
Its not reccomended. If you want to or need to though, use a micro exfoliant. Not a gritty scrub. If you exfoliate too much, you will irriate the new, soft skin that is left after scrubbing.
The best facial scrub you can ever get is Baking soda and Brown Sugar.....
Your skin feels reall smooth n soft right after the first application.
i wouldn't recommend it. Facial scrub is intended to be used at least once a week. If u have extremely oily skin, then you can use it 2-3x, but not more than that. Just make sure to use moisturizer everyday and every time after washing face.
sure.
yeah
just make sure you put on some sort of lotion after wards so you're face doesn't dry out.
I don't see why not, as long as it's a quality product that derms recommend that won't be too rough on the skin. I used to use the apricot stuff, but I don't know if it's the best. I like Crystal Peel, and I shop the sales when I can find them online. It's much more concentrated with grains and works beautifully.
I use Swiss Apricot Scrub everyday..twice a day..and Ihave great skin. Of course, following the scrub, I apply a moisturizer at night and a moisturizer and sunscreen during the day.
Good luck!!
yes, you deff can use it everyday but be careful, not to dry out your skin and if it does feel dry use lotion.
