Tips for Girls With Troublesome Skin

Uh.. I'm getting pretty bored here, so I'll just share some things I've learned and maybe someone will benefit from it.

Dry skin:

I get it bad. BAD. Really bad. Like, red and scaly and whatnot.
Fortunately, I have learned to cope with it.


Johnson's Baby Oil helps a lot.
Johnson's Baby Oil Gel with Lavender is even better. You see, the lavender plant is jam packed with awesome red-reducing, skin calming oils that,[as long as you're not allergic to them], will help you a lot. I've never personally tried lavender oil, but that's only because where I am, I can ever find it.

Vaseline petroleum jelly also helps; It's a natural substance and does not clog your pores or cause acne, (same goes for baby oil).

Acne:

For me, Neutrogena, Clearasill, Clean & Clear, and various other products were too harsh on my skin. Aveeno was decent, but it wasn't quick enough. I eventually switched to Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick, which did work even though it stung and dried out my skin a bit. If you do use it, definitely use in moderation. A little goes along way.

One natural face cleanser I use is Montagne Jeunesse Dead Sea Mud Pac. [http://img.dooyoo.co.uk/GB_EN/orig/0/7/7/6/9/776991.jpg]
Montagne Jeunesse Smoothie Aux Fruits is VERY good with dry skin as well.

These products are pretty inexpensive at Walgreens or any other drug store or super market. About $1 a pack.

If you have oily skin, then I would definitely recommend Boscia Oil Tissues. They literally absorb all of the excess oils from your skin.


And that's pretty much it for now I guess--Though I did get a tip from my dermatologist--

The more products you use on your face/skin the more acne prone you are. From what she told me, you need to use a certain product and only that product for 2 weeks to find out if it really works. Some products actually give you new acne, but that doesn't mean that the product won't work on you, it just means that your skin isn't used to it.


I guess that's it. Mail me for questions or if you think I should add something or whatever.
