What Skin Products Do You Use? (2 Viewers)

[tomorrows_angel]

i dont use any of them but i voted for dove cos its the body soap i use...and its pretty good, i guess...

cetaphil is the best. ive said it before and ill say it again. you dont need fancy schmancy face prods if u use them, they dont cause allergies and theyre the most gentle. you can feel it healing your face straight away.

i use jurlique mud masks, they are wonderful.

but cetaphil and try it. you dont need industrial strength face cleansers, scrubs, toners, exfoliants, whatever, just cleanser and moisturiser.

sorry if i go on, but it really is good.

hehe alleycat and i do all we can to promote cetaphil.

but seriously it's cos it's the best stuff you can buy!!! you get a big pump pack of the cleanser for like $13. it's really gentle, it doesn't burn or sting, you can even use it as an eye makeup remover. (apparently... it says so on the bottle)

i use cetaphil cleanser, prescription topical acne treatment and the cetaphil moisturiser to counteract the drying effects of the acne treatment.

and it makes your skin feel really soft and smooth. i now use it as a body wash too.

I would've picked Neutrogena if it was there. But Nivea makes pretty good moisturisers.

I mean, i would try Cetaphil, everyones raving about it, but Neutrogena is fuss free, cheap ($2 for a bar) and works well enough for me.

you can't get rid of acne scarring with a face wash. you need to try something like micro dermabrasion or a chemical peel if you're really concerned.

I use the Sheiseido Whitening Skincare range: Softener, Clarifying Cleansing Foam, Toner and Moisturiser. And i use Missha's DSW chlorella mask and DSW soft facial peeling- theyre really good

Dnt ever use the Loreal Pure Zone Range- its the worst. I dnt know if its just me, but i used it for about a month and i started getting pimples and acne but i never did before. So yeh, dont use it.

Have you asked your doctor about your skin- a dermatologist?

 

[SuGa BunI =D]

body ( external) : Garnier body tonic
body ( internal ) : Vitasoy Lush berry bliss, vitamin C and fish oil cap.
face (day) : Jerlique facial moisturising lotion
face (night): Palmers cocoa butter formula ( the blue one)


** recently bought : Nivea Pure Energy.. doesnt do much but add "glowing" shimmers to my face

 

[AlleyCat]

for all types of scarring the best thing is rosa scarless healer (from healthfood shops) topically and vitamin e oil caps (pharmacy/supermarkets) internally. also take spirulina in juice or water for a few months.

 

[tennille]

I used a Nivea face mask (It was in one of those 1 application packets) and it got rid of many of my pimple scars and made my face glow. It consists of vitamin E and something else that I can't rmember :S. It's in a bluish packet and you can get it from Big W, Woolworths, etc.

 

[glitter burns]

I use neutogrena (sp?) face wash and usually moisturise with ponds (which has a sunscreen in it - SO important!) but right now I'm using some other moisturiser... don't like it, it's too greasy.

everything ive tried that ive bought from the supermarket hasnt made me the next big thing... i found they didnt help at all... so ive stopped caring... plus im a guy so thats my excuse!

 

[sweetXinsanity]

Natstar, I work two jobs for my money not like I get it handed to me on a silver plate. No I don't think its the marketing of the clinic because they are all dermatologists. They gave me samples before I used the products not like I bought them straight away I think they'd know more then I would. Dermalogica is made specificially for your skin that's what I found so amazing about it.

I've tried every brand imaginable, complete rubbish which don't do a thing they irritated my skin and made me break out even more. I don't know that's just my experiences and what I've been told by my dermatologist don't bite me for having those opinions. Might work for other people.

 

[sweetXinsanity]

THANKYOU SOOO MUCH!! u have no idea how much help ya have been!! :uhhuh:

 

[AlleyCat]

monzi you call other people rude, but have you even read your own posts?

you are a total snob and a bitch who doesn't have a kind word to say about anyome, just millions of opinions about how everyone else's fashion style/ skin care routine is shit.

everyone else is thinking it. ill put it in words:

WHY DONY YOU JUST LEAVE. please.

 

[AlleyCat]

THEY are MY opinions. I can't believe you call somebody a bitch when you hardly even know them? Your calling me a bitch from my posts WHOA. Look who is being the hypocrite now I wasn't being rude to anybody I'm sorry if you or Natstar took it that way. I was just giving my opinion on skincare. If Natstar likes what she is using then so be it. ITS THE BORED OF STUDIES and your getting all cut up. Seriously I think your being abit rude yourself.

I'm just advising people on what specialists have actually told me in real life! Not like I make it all up. People who don't want to listen to what I have to say can keep it all to themselves. I don't question or bitch about anything you've said. I don't agree with some of your posts I've read but I don't bite back and be a bitch.

I suggest you listen to your own advice before you judge others.

If your talking about the other thread about body hair that's how i perceived the situation.

 

[sweetXinsanity]

its been photoshopped ... just like mine has

ps, cmonladies no need to fight... its only the internet

nahh for once i didnt photoshop my blemishes and under eye bags lol.... i just added the eye shadow.. pretty neat huh

I went to the skin care specialists called the Clear Skin Clinic in Double Bay. They are the BEST! They told me every brand you buy from the supermarket is absolutely crap and is all Marketing to get you to buy the product. She made me bring in every single product that I had ever used on my skin after I brought them in she gave me a lecturer on how much harm these are doing to my skin then good.

You do realise that clinics are sponsored by companies to endorse their products, and that vendors are paid commission if they can sell them.

She put me on Dermalogica. Its so expensive but its FANTASTIC. Dermalogica is water soluble and won't irritate your skin. It doesn't cause breakouts. Its FANTASTIC. My skin has never looked so good. It glows I even get compliments on it.

Yes, its fantastic to know that your skin has never looked so good and it glows now. Ever considered that maybe it's because your hormones have settled down?

I use the Acne-prone Kit, Daily Microfoliant, Gentle Cream Scrub and the SPF15+ Sunscreen from them its fantastic i love it. I bought all this stuff for $400 dollars but it'll last me for about 8-9 Months. I think its worth it I'd rather spend money on something that will work rather then on something that stuffs my skin up.

I don't think it's worth it. That's like, $50 a month..? You're young. Your skin shouldn't need THAT much product. Imagine what it'll be like when you're 30 or 40. Will you seriously be able to spend thousands of dollars a year on skincare?
My fucking god, sponsor a WorldVision child instead!

Note: If you write $400, then you don't need to add the word 'dollars' at the end.

Nutrimetics she said are the worse, I used that on my skin and she told me its harming your skin rather then making it better. Clean and Clear and Clearasil are really bad as well you might be getting some results but it wrecks havoc on your skin.

MD Formulations is good as well. So give it a go little pricey but these products are not cosmetics they are solely made for your skin. I don't wear makeup and my skin glows. Love it.

I think you've been jiipped. If all these products are "harming your skin rather than making it better", then they'd be off the market. Some of the ones you mentioned are quite up-market products. I seriously doubt the ingredients vary dramatically, and the seller never seems to mention why or how these products are so harmful to your skin.
So in conclusion, i think you're a materialistic idiot who has been duped into spending hundreds of dollars a year on skincare.
