Does every girl use toner, cream etc for her face?

Question

I just think it is better not to use. I always advice my sister stop using it because it will hurt her skin. But she does not listen to me.

I think it is just commercially portrayed as good.

I just think using good cleanser and ample of water...it is great enough...

I think using any additional skin care rountine may not help but worse.....I just worry about my sister...she uses a lot...

I think make-up is okay...but just not a whole lot of face and eye cream, toner etc....

Answer 1

If you wash your face every night, I don't believe it has any terrible side effects. However, I choose not to use. I wash my face in the morning and that's it - no makeup no nothing. On very special occassions I'll put on a light dusting of makeup. I think I've worn some makeup twice in the last 2 years, no kidding. I do wear lip gloss - often blistex... but not lipstick.

Answer 2

I just use a gentle cleanser on my face morning and night. Toner isn't really necessary because it can dry out your face too much. I do use moisturizer too. I use just a tiny amount at night and a bit heavier during the day. I use a heavier amount during the day because that moisturizer also contains sunscreen and I'm very fair, prone to burns and have a family history of skin cancer. Obviously I don't want to take unnecessary risks. But other than a cleanser and moisturizer, extra products really aren't needed unless you have specific problems that require them (acne, excessive dark circles, older skin, etc.)

Its obvious your a caring brother to be very honest i dont occasionaly on real speacial dinners or weddings etc natural will always go further make up some times is just like saying lil girl go back to halloween night i think you forgot to clean your face harsh but true if i was a guy i would tell her she doesnt always need to try because she knows its already there and also she could never look better than she already is without the make up

Answer 4

Its important to clean ur skin properly adn lots of generic soaps can be drying to the skin, so a good cleanser is important.
Although its not noticable now as ur sis ages she will see the effects of not using a good moisturiser, just look at the skin of men age 40 and women the same age who have used skin care!
But check the ingredients properly, lots of products have harsh chemicals in them, look for one that is totally natural, i use one that has only plant extracts. (most people pick my age as 10yrs younger than i am)
Also always, always use sunscreen, its one of the most ageing/damaging things for your skin.
Your sister is just being a girl, dont be harsh on her, just steer her in the right direction for the most natural products.

Answer 5

Yeah I think the same thing as you. People also say not to use soap on ur face because it's harmful. But I can't use any of the creams cause they tend to make me brak out alot more than soap does. PLus saop is a cleanser and moisturiser in tiself...It's natural.

Answer 6

I only use a good facial wash and moisturiser. That's it for my skincare regime, apart from the occasional use of the anti-pimple serum.

Tell your sis that using the toner is not that important as they only tighten pores temporarily.

Hence, invest in skincare that give long-term benefits like a sunscreen.

I'd say that sunscreen is very important!

Answer 7

i really don't think it is bad for your sister unless she's using the products many times a day. i never used to do the whole cleanse, tone, moisturise thing(i only used to cleanse) but since i have my skin is definately looking better. very sweet of you to worry but i'm sure she can figure it out for herself. oh and every girl does not do it but as you get a older more and more do, which i guess is because as you get older you get wiser :-)

Answer 8

I don't and hardly ever have. I still have good skin and I'm 53. I think if you use a good moisturizing soap it does just as well.

Answer 9
