Concerning of Black skin care

diza_nigerian · 03-04-2003, 02:43 AM

I have used this witchhazel alcohol thing called Skin Toner because I tend to have pimples, not alot, and I have flaky skin and usually my skin is very oily. At first I have used Noxema, stopped using it bcuz I hate the way you gotta do the procedure even though it's almost easy as 1,2,3.(hot water then, cold water). But I'm telling you my problem cuz I need help and I also wanna know how you ladies (esp, no offense to guys, but may post your opinion if you want) take care of your skin.

WATER AND SOAP works all the time. And also DRINKING loads of water hepls 2. Sometimes these product just add to ur problem as some of them contain alcohol, which is not good 4 most skin types.

Try drinking plenty of water also, that helps 2 clear your pores

drinking water will help but it doesn't show instant diffrence. we need instant gratification to keep at anything.
wash ya face with exfloriating agent(some body wash,scrubs).
i will not recommed fading creame unless u light skinned, in dat way e fit even ya skin tone.

Don't mean to brag, but I was blessed with beautiful skin and a lovely nice complexion, although, i'm starting to get dark circles under my eyes, from late night studying ( college syndrome). I maintain my skin with St. Ives facial scrubs and facial soap. I dunno, maybe you should seek a dermatologist, cuz not all over the counter products work for all. Ask you dermatologist for "Different Gel" that works...

**BlakByuty** · 03-04-2003, 09:46 PM

Avon Clearskin cleansing gel, Acon Sensitive skin Astringent lotion(my skin is not sensitive but I like to stay safe), Avon Clearskin pimple dab gel. Never use body soap(especially Irish Spring) or face products that are not for your skin type. Dont touch your face with your hands because of the oils in your fingers. Wash your face morning and night, no more no less. Try not to use makeup very often unless its medicated. It clogs your pores. Use a mask at least once a week. And use exfoliator as often as you can.

actually clearasil works on the face, in this time of winter, though, dont wash the face to hard , because it will flake and feel itchy... I cant use any of those special things cuz it makes my skin worse... i swear by daily clearasil facewash dont use any exfoliants, because they will remove the oils needed to protect you skin in the winter.... makeup...Pine cake is not a good idea to cover them up... so many of us women use it to cover and neglect the care that we really need as a quick way out... some wihtsevere problems need to go to a dermatologist... its best to consult with them for professional advice

diza_nigerian · 03-05-2003, 03:43 AM

about drinkin water, you should see how much water i drink! I heard that it's not a good idea to use a deordorant soap, it has to be a different kind of soap. The soap that I have used and it REALLY dried up my skin was Neutragena, damn, i will never use that ish again

*DiamOnd* · 03-05-2003, 06:46 AM

Nutrogena is aiight

lizadora · 03-05-2003, 03:58 PM

neutrogena burns my face i would not suggest it to aanyone..... not fragrance soap and clearasil is my choice

Ibo_Hunnie · 03-06-2003, 02:31 AM

word, allergic to weave, never wore them, I also forgot to mention that I use the peel off masque and it works somehow cuz it takes out the dirt but the disadvantage is that it still worsens my flaky skin problem, i dont know if i should switch or still use it

try aveeno, it doesn't dry ur skin but a light cleanser so if ur problem is serious it might not work. It works better for me than those neutrogenia, clean and clear and so on.

tweetyree · 03-12-2003, 01:34 AM

SHE IS NOT LYING...
Just take this advise becos it works 4 me
