Answer 1

Hi There. I'm 27 and I was in your same situation before I started using Arbonne's NutriMinC Re9 Anti-Aging line. They have an awesome day creme that you might find very beneficial. What many people aren't aware of is most soaps and cleansers on the market contain mineral oil, the molecular structure of which is too large to penetrate into the pores of our skin so it sits on the top layer like saran wrap. This causes dirt and debris to collect on our face, thus causing our skin problems. They also contain harmful ingredients such as alcohol, wax, dyes, chemicals, fragrances, etc which strip your skins acid mantel (its protective layer) and causes irritation, dryness, and more skin problems. You don't want to DRY out your face because your skin will try to overcompensate by producing more oil. You might want to try Arbonne. It's a Swiss company that is regulated by the FDA and formulates their products without the ingredients listed above. Their products are botanically based and beneficial for all skin types. If you're open to trying a free sample, I'll be happy to send you one.

Answer 2

Use a good moisturizer or I suggest you try using Zenmend Derma Lotion from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com.

Zenmend has no side effects and it's non-irritant to the
skin. It's proven to works fast and it povides Maximum
results! It's certainly a good lotion to prevent further
outbreaks.

Another product that I think is effective is Autopalm. This
dry skin mlm is one of the best seller at skinstore.com now.
(Skinstore.com holds more than 10,000 skin care products) It's pretty effective, and worth the dollar paid out.

Answer 3

Aveeno has good skin care products & so does Dove.

You may want to get a facial to get some help with the dryness. There are treatments and masks that will help hydrate your skin. You can go to a beauty school and get an inexpensive facial.

Answer 4

Principal Secret's Reclaim Daytime moisturizer and the Reclaim cleanser. I did not believe it either but it works.

My wife (who is sitting right here with me) says Aveeno Oatmeal soaks are supposed to be really good...

She's never tried it before, but that's what she hears...

Answer 6
