I would just like to know what everyone does and maybe adapt some of those ideas into my routine as well!   Im really simple and at night - I exfoliate face with Korress Wild Rose - Exfoliate lips with LUSH lip scrub - put the Korress wild rose sleeping facial - and some EOS lipbalm   And for the day i just wear - Korress wild rose 24 hr moisturuzer   However, I feel like I'm missing some things to do! what do you do?

I'm only 16, but the lack of sleep I get from school has really been affecting my eye area. So if anyone could suggest an eye cream that diminishes dark circles, please do share! Also, since i'm only 16 I don't really need to worry about wrinkles or anything (not now anyway!) so just an eye cream that brightens, but a few add-ons wouldn't hurt right? *as a side note, i prefer richer creams because I have a dry undereye area, but I would be able to deal with a lighter formula if it means that my dark circles would be gone!   Thank you so much!   

Actually, I found this at Macy's but they sell the product at Sephora~    Anyways, I'm browsing Macy's and then i found this cute little store called Origins. Origins is supposed to be a skincare brand of Estee Lauder. I was curious, so I was browsing the area, and then a nice lady came up to me, and she examined my skin. She came to the conclusion that my skin was  super  dry. (My skin is combination, but this took place in the winter, so my skin was very dry, rather than oily). She gave me a couple of products to sample: Frothy Face Wash, Modern friction, (those were the recent samples, since it's spring time) My winter samples were ' A Perfect World' and "Starting over and those were moisturizers.    Long story short, they were sublime. it made my skin feel exceptionally smooth, as if my skin was finally breathing. The scrubs and lotions were smooth, creamy, and smelled great. I highly recommend this to anyone   Bonus~ one of the face washes are 20 bucks, but you only need a pea size of it, so it will last you 6 months!

I have (reaally) sensitive, dry, and rough skin.Could anyone suggest good masks to moisturize and give extra "nutrients" to my skin? thanks

Hi everyone, I'm a bit new to this...but I have gone too long now without properly attending to my skin, so I need HELP.   I have VERY sensitive skin. Like any amount of make-up I will usually break out. I also have bad dry skin on my forehead and upper cheeks, however my skin is a bit oily in the nose/chin area. The rest is somewhat dry/combination, and can be very acne prone. Nothing huge, and I constantly have small whiteheads on my face, and plenty of blackheads on my nose. My skin is also very uneven in tone, really red cheeks, but really pale under the eyes. My friends and family are constantly pointing these spots out to me, and I'm sick of it, I just want normal skin for once!   Does anyone have any suggestions for some products I should try out? I've tried cream cleansers, toners, scrubs/exfoliators, moisturizers, etc, but NOTHING works. I'm running out of options.

I have dry combination skin and acne prone. I use the Clinique 3 step system at night but I'm looking for something simple and quick the just clean my face in the morning. I don't use drugstore products because they break me out and there's always something wrong with them. What should I use in the morning to wash my face? And any suggestions on any good light weight but hydrating moisturizers to use in the morning too? 

So I was at the bobbi brown counter getting my makeup done, and the SA used the hydrating eye cream on me, which felt great at the time. Smooth, fast-absorbing, the works. I took home a sample to test it out, but it now seems to sting my left eye area ONLY, and i'm afraid to buy the full size and end up hating it. Any suggestions on alternatives? I don't want anything that's anti-aging, just a straight up hydrating eye cream, and I do love this one but ... should I just test it out for now? 

I am very annoyed with my skin. The skin on my face drys out really bad, and its very dull looking, it also.. somehow even though its dry its also oily. I think i have a cystic acne issue too because whenever i get a pimple its like a hard and painful lump that is very inflamed and red, and takes over a week to start to heal and even when it heals it leaves a bruise like scar on my face.. anyways i dont know how to combat my issues. i do exfoliate my face with a wash cloth in the shower every day.. i know your not supposed to exfoliate that often but when i dont it gets super tight and unbearable. i moisturize my face with coconut oil and i mix it with an acne treatment moisturizer and it seems to help the dryness, tightness and acne but not enough. I need advice on how to deal with all of my issues. How can i get rid of the cystic acne, dry tightness, dullness and oiliness? I dont know what to do i feel like ive tryed everything. I want my skin to glow and be soft and acne free once and for all... Any suggestions on what i should try?  

I live in Texas and I have always have dry, sensitive skin. Within the last year I've starters having combination skin, oily in the t-zone, nose, and chin. I need a new moisturizer and face wash. I currently use benefit's moisturizer and face wash. Suggestions please!!! Oh, and I also use a Mia2 once a day. Open for exfoliator suggestions as well! Thanks!!!

I have dry sensitive skin with not a lot of break outs. However I do have those white dots under my eyes (not pimples; they are always there). I've tried clinque products but it seem to just dry my skin out. I've also tried boscia which made me break out. I don't have a lot of money but want to take care of my skin/pores. Right now I'm using aveeno face wash/lotion which does fairly well but isn't helping with the white dots/bumps any. I'm looking for suggestions for general care as well as good items for dark circles.

I am looking for a better makeup routine for my very dry/flakey skin. I am 19 and quite pale and sometimes break out in my forehead and jaw line. I moisturize in the morning before putting makeup on and at night before going to bed but my face seems to not get any better once I set the makeup. It always looks very dry which to me is not appealing at all.   I am currently using La Mer Moisturizing Gel Cream which I was told would clear up my dry skin quickly but has not worked for me. After spending $280 on it I expected much better. I am also using the La Mer facial cleanser and don't know yet if it is doing anything for me. I use Clinique Exfoliating Scrub for a very long time now and it seems to work but I have never used another exfoliating scrub so I don't have anything to compare it to. After moisturizing I use the Chanel Base Lumiere Illuminating Makeup Base.   For foundation I am using MAKE UP FOR EVER HD. Which I apply with the chanel foundations brush (maybe I should use a sponge, idk)   Then i wear Chanel Less Tissages powder blush which is a lovely color, but I am wondering if I shouldn't be using powder brush. Then I use MAKE UP FOREVER Smokey lash. I rarely use eye shadow, I prefer a natural look. But lately I've been intrigued to use a luminizer so I'd love to hear which ones have woke for you.   I really want to switch foundation to one that fits my needs and gives me a natural look, but also making it seem like i have flawless skin. Which do you recomend? I would also like to hear tips on how to manage my very dry skin.     ps. I am EXTREMLY intrigued by the AMOREPACIFIC Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ has anyone used it? if so, how was your experience? Sorry for the long post.. kind regards.

I am trying to figure out which one to get. I have very fair skin, dark brown hair, and hazel eyes... thanks

Hey there!! I need some help please!! I am 45 years old and my face, especially around my mouth has really wrinkled. I have done the microderm home scrub and moisturized but it just seems like initially my face looks alive after the microderm but that is short lived. The moisturizer just seems to sit on top of my face. I buy the expensive treatments and nothing seems to work.  The wrinkles are getting deep and my skin seems to be getting looser.  I am getting very self conscious about this. When I put on my foundation the wrinkles look worse. I also I have freckles along with sun spots from living on the beach. I drink water all day long and still my skin is so dry. I am desperate for the cure all if anyone has that!

My skin is normally combo/oily with mild acne.  I recently tried Josie Maran Argan Oil and it dried out my skin big time.  Now it's tight, flaky and I can see lines that weren't there before.  Can anyone suggest something that will quickly help get my skin back to normal? My skin normally isn't the greatest but I'd rather have it back to the way it was than have this mess.

I am aging. I know this. I am losing weight. Those two things combined generally are not good. However, trying to find the right cleanser/moisturizer combo has ruined my skin. I don't just flake/peel, I molt. I don't heal very quickly so it's not unusual to have chunks of skin coming off of my face by the end of the day. I keep thinking that sooner or later, the peeling has to stop or I'm going to run out of skin! Honestly, if I'd known losing weight was going to produce this many wrinkles/dry patches that call for this much care, I would've stayed fat. That's how bad this is.   I started using SK-II - love the face lift emulsion (I think is what's it's called). The cleanser was really good until I got to the bottom of the tube and it got all runny & watery and burned my face. The Essence is okay but not $100-worth of special. I love Laura Mercier products and I'm trying her oil cleanser now. Just got a trial size of the Josie Maran Infinity cream and it is incredibly soothing to the cracks beside my mouth. We'll see how it lasts.   For the record, I have been through Obagi, Perricone and SK-II (and countless freebies with my Sephora orders). I don't know what "it" is, but it's not Origins, Fresh or Algenist. They are all either too wimpy to do any good for my wrinkles or too strong and peel my face off. I also use a Clarisonic. Once upon a time, I had nice skin. I think I'm just going to take a break after tax season (I'm an accountant) and take about a week off to not wear anything on my face at all!   And furthermore for the record, Dior Nude and Urban Decay Naked Skin both cover this crud on my face really, really well, but I'd rather look a little more natural if at all possible rather than caking it on.   Grace & Peace, HMNewbie

i have a combination skin,, if i dont moister after cleaning my face i will get white dead skin all over my cheeks and around my mouth, i am currently using aveeno foam for sensitive skin cuz i don't want to use harsh chemicals that may make may face oily or break out and moister with olay compleat face cream. my skin is still having white dead skin, so i need to change my routien. sephora girls suggest either from fresh the rose water foam wash and moister gel as well as the exfoliating scrub. another advised me to use clineque trio for sensitive skin. last but not least i have been hearing great review on burt's bees citrus exfoliater ,, and doing your own olive oil honey auger scrub at home! what do you suggest? thanks. p.s i dont have acne, only my pores get cloged sometimes.

 

Even after applying moisturizer my skin still flakes around my nose and cheek.  When I apply foundation the dry flakes are very noticeable so I have to scrub my face with water and put on moisturizer.  Doing this a few more times does make my skin less flaky.  Previously I used the Olay oil free moisturizer then switched to using Shisedo again.  Now I am currently using ProGenius treatment oil and it is working.  But my concern is I have acne prone skin and using the oil caused me white heads.  Anyone know a moisturizer for flaky and acne face skin?

My skin is very dry and sensitive. I have constant flushing (reddness), and am prone to eczema. I am 31 and would like to start a skincare routine, but am overwhelmed by all of the choices. I would also like something that has anti-aging benefits. My other problem is that the area under my eyes are puffy and a red/purple color. Can anyone help me? This is my current routine: Day: ole henriksen truth serum ole henriksen truth creme with advanced hydration Fresh lip treatment Night: REN Hydra-calm milk cleanser ole henriken truth serum ole henriksen truth creme with advanced hydration origins genzing eye cream Fresh lip sugar scrub Fresh lip treatment So, I guess I am wondering if I am using the right things. Also, I would like to add an exfoliator and a hydration mask. Is it okay to use different brands in your routine, or should one stick to one brand? Also, I would like to use natural products.   Grateful for your help!

I am teen and my skin is dry and i was wondering what moisturizer will be good for everyday use. I dont want it to have sph in it either. I play soccer too some im running and sweating a lot im not sure if that has any input. Thank you

I am 21 years old and have had really dry skin (I live in Syracuse, NY where is it is always winter, so that doesn't help). I currently use Philosophy Take a Deep Breathe moisturizer and Philosophy Purity face cleanser. Should I be trying other brands that work better for dry skin? Right now I wash my face in the morning in the shower and immediately put the moisturizer on after. Should I be doing this at night too? HELP.

I have a questions i tend to have dry skin but at times I get oily. Im looking for a cleanser and moisturizer that is good for sensitive skin. I'm 32 and Ive been getting a couple of pimples. I'm also looking for a good foundation, I've tried the on from tarte but it looks streaky on my face after an hour or so! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanx have a great one!

My issue is that after I apply my makeup dry patches appear in between my eyes, around my mouth, lower cheek areas, and right where I have tried to conceal blemish scars. The make up looks horrible in those areas and I look completely cakey. I'm even afraid to smile because then the dry patches show up even more. I don't know if I need to use more moisturzer or a different one completely? Use a primer? No setting powder and do a setting mist instead? HELPPP   Here is my make up routine (I may be doing it completely wrong since I am a beginner with makeup so please feel free to correct my process and suggest other products. *I have combination skin*)   1. Argan oil all over my face and particularly in the dry patch areas I mentioned before 2. Kiehl's sodium pca oil free moisturizer again particularly in the dry patch areas I mentioned before 3. Makeup forever's 5 camouflage cream palette 4. Smashbox's camera ready BB cream 5. Mac setting powder   

Winter is among us, but let's SPRING into action soon! I need some recommendations for an everyday body moisturizer after showers. My skin is pretty dry right now, with some flaky patches here and there. I don't like heavily scented lotions nor do I like that greasy feeling on my skin. 

My skin is really flaky and dry lately! im looking for a new moisturizer and a full coverage foundation! Any suggestions? can be drugstore or highend

I have Very dry skin! I've tried tons of moisturizers, oils, and moisturizing masks, but after a few hours of wearing makeup my skin starts flaking. It's really bad around my nose and chin. I can't seem to find a solution. I was hoping to get some suggestions on products and ideas. It's pretty frustrating that nothing is really helping. 

I have very dry skin with very few breakouts, blackheads through my tzone and large pores. Currently I am using a Mario Badescu enzyme cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer. I have tried Shiseido and Cetaphil in the past and it was not helping me hydrate. I used to have really bad oily skin and was on Proactiv and Retin-A and I think they were so harsh that they stripped my skin of everything and now I am so dry that my skin flakes in certain spots. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've been using Philosophy Purity liquid cleanser for awhile now and really like how well it removes makeup and cleans my skin. I do have very dry skin but never attributed it to Purity, however my sister said she had to stop using it because it was drying out her skin too much, so now I wonder if it's causing my dry skin too. I honestly can't remember if it was a big issue before Purity because I've been using it for so long. Has anyone else found that Purity caused their skin to dry out a lot?
