I am more on top of facial skin care lately - tryng not to fall asleep without washing my face (doing it right when i get home or after dinner is perfect) and be more on top of caring for it - especially since I am noticing little wrinkles coming out to play, and more frequent breakouts.
I am cleansing, moisturizing (with SPF), and using an anti-wrinkle eye cream. I am trying to do a mask once a week and an exfoliant 3 times per week.
Curious as to others cleansing routines.
What do you do? What products do you use? Any special night creams, eye creams, masks? Do you get facials regularly?
Thanks for indulging my weird questions!

Re: How do you take care of your face?
i wash it morning and night and moisturize. that is the habit i got into when i was 14! now that i've hit 25 (3 years ago), i also do eye cream. i used to do facials every month on my own, but haven't in awhile. i use a scrub periodically in the shower and even give myself makeup free days once in awhile. taking care of my skin is a big thing, but i need to work on using sunscreen more.

Re: How do you take care of your face?
Diet plays a HUGE role in how my skin looks. If I stay away from wheat, sugar and dairy, I have great skin. I never eat dairy but it's tough to lay off of the wheat and sugar.
I wash and moisture in the morning, wash again at night (I like Kiehl's for a cleanser, oil of olay for moisturizer). I'm a fan of under eye cream from Bliss. I haven't been able to get a facial recently, but I loved going to Cactus in Commack for them.

i use Clindamycin from my dermatologist, Aveeno soap.
I also noticed that changing my pillow case every other day helps minimize the break outs.

Re: How do you take care of your face?
I wash my face every night before I go to sleep and moisturize like crazy. My mom also works for a dermotologist so I get all medicated creams also.

Re: How do you take care of your face?
I wash my face everytime I take shower and at night when I wear make-up (which is rare). I use Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer (both the regular and the one with SPF). I also use CLean & Clear when I have break outs or am PMSing. I haven't started using eye cream...but I guess I have to look into that soon. Not 15 anymore.

I have very sensitive skin that is prone to breakout so I use the sensitized kit by Dermalogica, which is great. I use it morning and night. During the day I wear tinted moisturizer with SPF20. I don't use eye cream regularly. Bad me! I should.

Re: How do you take care of your face?
I wash it every nite w/ soap, then with Apricot Scrub........then I moisturize with a special cream my FIL's girlfriend made for me. Its' made with this Tar stuff; I beleive Banatar or something like that, and mixes it with Eucerin. She has been using it for 30 years, and her skin looks great for someone in her mid-50's.
And she is right.......since I have been using it, I havent had a pimple since! Not even during period time, and that's very unlikely.

Re: How do you take care of your face?
I use proactive cleanser, moisturizer and acne cream morning and night. I just ran out of the cleanser, so I am using ROC, which I like lot. I use eye cream only at night and the new L'Oreal glycolic peel routine once a week.
I get a facial about every 2 months.
ETA: I NEVER let the sun on my face and my foundation has SPF 30.

oil of olay for everything, their age defying cleanser and moisturizer the best.

Re: How do you take care of your face?
i use vaseline on my face sometimes and at night. and other times i would use khiels w spf during the day and night.
my doctor tells me that vaseline works the best because it holds the moisture for a long time. whereas kheils (for example) wouldnt. vaseline just has that sticky feel. not the greatest feel but it does its job.
what i do to exfoliate is by using an exfoliating sponge. it definitely takes the dry skin off. and i do this rarely. probably a couple of times out of the year. i'm very lazy.

That's my strategy too and I always get compliments on my skin. Oh, and TONS of water. Plus, I don't put my make-up on until after I get to the office (I commute with a clean face, wash it again when I get in and then apply make-up).

Re: How do you take care of your face?
Dove...soap and moisturizer. Love it! I grew up using harsh things on my face because I broke out so bad...then I went on Accutane and my face has been super clear. My derm recommends Dove or Cetaphyl.
