Skin Care Treatments

I use a cleanser, spot treatment, and moisturizer. What is the correct order that I should use these? the cleanser dries my skin a bit so i really need the moisturizer, but i dont want to take away the spot treatment and make it useless. what should i do?

well, you cannot use a moisturizer and a spot treatment at the same time. also, you should not be using a drying cleanser! try cetaphil for dry skin, or spectro jel.
you can do this:

morning:
wash your face with a cleanser and cold water. this brings blood flow to your face which is great for the skin.
moisturize.

night:
wash your face with a cleanser and warm water. this opens up the pores for the next product.
use your spot treatment.

okay so i have really oily/blemish prone skin.
i use st. ives facial scrub for it and i use a prescribed medicine/neutrogena wash
no matter how well i take care of my skin, it just always seems to have zits.
do you guys know any special easy treatments or home remedies that work really well?
because i have to look my best for several coming events.
oh and by the way, guy that farts melodies, yeah you’re the one to say "ew" because I probably look better then you inside and out.

It doesn’t seem to be acne, but they flare up a lot sometimes and can be very painfull, as well as annoying. ive tried various products, drinking lots of water and maintaining a balanced diet, i keep a good skincare regime. is there anything my doctor can prescribe?

The miraculous powers assigned to water as far as relieving spots, (and assisting weight loss,) are no more than an urban myth. You could try one of the many over the counter cleanser/degreasers, most are based on peroxide, Panoxyl is a typical example. If this fails the next step is to see your GP for topical or oral antibiotics. Avoid tetracycline and oxytetracyline as they are awkward to take and not very effective, minocycline or lymecycline are better.

I have recently been using Oxy maximum face wash on it’s own but I felt the need to ramp up the acne fighting so I purchased the Oxy spot treatment and the Oxy cleansing pads. So, what I need to know is, how do I use all 3 together? Do I wash, then use the medicated pads, then the spot treatment? I’m confused because in other reviews I’ve read it seems that people used the cleansing pads by themselves.

You are supposed to use either the wash OR the cleansing pads. Using both, one straight after the other, will damage your skin.

Use the wash or the pads, then apply the spot treatment.

I’m a 30 year old female who has mild acne (blackheads with the occasional breakout) but also need an anti aging product as well. I’ve tried neutrogena and do not necessarily need a low cost regimine, just one that works. I’m looking for cleanser, treatment, moisturizer, and eye cream. Any advice is appreciated!

Acne Marks or Scars

Here is a simple tip that you can use to reduce your acne scars and pigmentation.

The Oil Cleansing Method
What you will need:
Warm Water
Cold Water
Clean Towels
Castor Oil
Olive Oil

The first thing you need to do is to wash your face gently to remove excess dirt and oils from the surface.

You will then need to warm a clean towel in warm water and apply it to your face for 3 minutes. Do the same thing with the cold water but this time for one minute.

Carry out both the warm water and cold water procedure about 3 times but always finish with cold and then pat dry with another clean towel.

Next mix a small amount of castor oil with a small amount of olive oil. A 50/50 ratio will do just fine. Apply the mixture to your skin and let it stay there for 30 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel and you are good to go.
