Secret Skin Tips to keeping skin healthy?

Reply:uhhh.... well i have combination skin i think which is oily and dry which is really annoying! I use proactive which works sort of well but the thing i really like is the mask they have because i use it for on the spot treatment.
Reply:'healthy skin starts from within'! we've all heard it, but it is true. i notice a big change in my skin when i double my water intake....not those fruit waters either. god didn't make us with strawberry kiwi water! it's certainly boring, but you can add your own fresh fruits to it instead of buying that bottled stuff. also, i use baby wash as my facial soap (extra gentle on the skin). i rotate my moisturizer, but always put it on a damp face so that you don't overload with cream...a bit of vaseline (my grandmother ALWAYS used vaseline and she stayed in the sexy scene til she passed at age 80! her skin was beautifully tight..for an old lady! lmao!) or olive oil - my usual favorite. oh, and maybe 2-3x week, i use ground cinnamon as an astringent - in the shower only ladies, cinnamon is NO JOKE! that's all i have...

-use a toner/stringent before and after taking off makeup and before makeup application


-DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE DURING THE DAY!


-wash your brushes twice a month/replace puffs

Reply:HONEY I USE THESE TIPS WITH ANY AND EVERY PERSON I DO MAKEUP FOR IN THE THEATRE DEPT. AT SCHOOL, INCLUDING CLEANSING MY OWN SKIN!





When it comes to the face, heat is the biggest key. Heat creates an atmosphere for your pores to expand. A hot rag (as hot as you can stand it) across the face is the best bet. As far as a topical treatment, you need to invest in a good scrub and a very fine toner. I tell people this all the time that I do makeup for. Here are some key things to remember when looking for cleansers:





1. A good scrub needs to have some sort of exfoliant (i.e. microbeads, pumice grains, etc.) in it. Once you have applied the hot rag to your face and opened up your pores, the scrub is used to get deep down into the pores and clean them out.





2. In a good scrub, stay away from anything that has a lot of soap or fragrance to it. Fragrance = additives that probably will makes things worse. Your main ingredient when looking for a scrub is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid acts as an antibacterial to cleanse deep to break up the blackheads and fight the bacteria causing them.





3. A good toner should be found because once the skin is clean, the toner is used to tighten the cleansed pores to minimalize the entrance of future bacteria. And sadly to say it (but get over it), A TONER DOES STINK! Its made primarily of alcohol, so it will stink! Get over it! It's worth it!





4. Lastly, and a lot of people don't think about this, find a light lotion with an added sunscreen (at least SPF 15). You want a light lotion (nothing fancy or fragrancy) with a sunscreen to prevent dryness from the toner and the sunscreen will help protect from sun damage (obviously!).





Always remember to catch blackheads before they start (before they become pimples)! And for the love of God: DO NOT PICK AT A PIMPLE IF YOU GET ONE! Picking only creates more infection from the bacteria on your hands....and most importantly: it's just GROSS! Some brands to try for a scurb or toner would be: Oil of Olay, Biore`, Clinique, Clean %26amp; Clear, Clearasil.......just to name a few! Also remember to drink lots of water to help keep down ure intake of oils. Oh and p.s. to guys who are reading this: just because girls use it in a commercial DOES NOT mean that a guy cannot use it too! A girl would like it a lot more to see a guy with a clean face and a cabinet full of girly skin care stuff, than Mister Zit next door! I'm gay....trust me on this!
