NBR: what face wash do you use?

[lincbeesmom]

I tend to have a lot of blackheads (gross I know) and I haven't found anything that helps. I wash my face twice a day, exfoliate, the works!

Tell me about your skin care routine!

I have oily, sensitive skin, and I swear by my Clarisonic brush. It's pricey, but i love it. I rotate through different face wash that run the gamut from drugstore to expensive -- Cetaphil. Cerave, Ole Henriksen (African Tea), Philosophy (Purity). I don't have one that I love, but those have been the gentlest on my skin.

I use St Ives apricot scrub once a day and neutrogena toner once a day. It's been working great for me for years!

[nattybumppo]

Cetaphil and/or Kirkland (costco) make up removing face wipes.

I wish I had a skin care routine. I'm getting old and think I need to add some creams or something. Ugh.

I just use dove soap. Nothing fancy.

I don't use a specific brand, whatever I pick up that time. But I LOVE the biore nose strips. You put it on when your nose is damp, let it dry and then peel it off. It's crazy how much it can get out. I try to use once a week so it doesn't build up.

Neutrogena make-up removing face wipes, then neutrogena moisturizer with spf. I tried one of those vibrating brushes in desperation when I was pregnant and had the face of a 16 year old, but I wasn't crazy about it.

I use Unblemish by Rodan and Fields.
It worked VERY well when I didn't wear make-up. Now that I wear make-up everyday (and I had to stop using the whole line while pregnant and BFing), it isn't working as well and I'm on the hunt for something new once I use up my stock.

I have combo, super-sensitive, acne prone skin and a few years back I finally found a routine that works for me!
I use philosophy purity in the AM, followed by cetaphil lotion. I'm also careful about what makeup brands I use as they tend to break me out, but Bobbi Brown tinted moisturizer and foundations are fantastic.
in the PM I shower. I'll scrub gently with a washcloth and noxema (yes, the old lady kind in a blue tub!) and then follow with a massage of the purity again. I also let the purity sit on my face for a few mins when my skin is acting up...it clears it right out. I swear, switch to these products and give it 4 weeks. you won't be disappointed!

if you are really jonesing for a deep clean, Origins sells a charcoal mask that gets allllllll the dirt out. in the bath I'll pat my face dry, apply this, and leave it on for 10 mins before rinsing. reallllly cleansing and brightens my skin.

I use just the up&up version of St. Ives and it works well for me. No lotion. I also don't wear makeup on my face on the regular, so it might be different also if you do.

[jtizzay]

I feel like toner cleared up my blackheads. A lot. I use somethhingn that came in b's bluum box and then a male version for face scrub

[sanibel21]

I just use cetaphil face wash in the shower in the morning. Though I wouldn't say I have great skin. It tends to break out right before my period. Before LO I used to use benzoyl peroxide and Rx clindamycin. I think my skin is better overall now and I'm not sure if its because I'm using less product or hormonal due to having been pregnant and now still breastfeeding.

Cetaphil

[lostinfaith225]

I have rosacia (sp?). I use cetaphil. I use neutragena acne cream for zits. Neutragena moisturizer too.

[angelsnight]

As of lately, nothing. I've always been bad about washing my face before bed, but I NEVER not washed my faced in the morning. Now I am lucky if I do twice a week. I wash it in the shower, but I don't shower every day anymore either...I'm gross.

But anyway, when I do wash my face, I use Noxema. I've tried lots of stuff over the years but always went back to it. My face just feels so clean afterward. But I also feel old because I mentioned it in front of my 17 year old niece and she had never even heard of it.
