Skin Care????

Question

Lately with the crazy weather change here in CA, my skin looks and feels very dry (which is odd b/c i tend to have oily skin). I've never had this problem before...i was thinking of using proactive to help my skin....is that a good idea? Are there any other skin care product that WORK?

Answer 1

Hey there,

Your skin is dry maybe due to the weather changes or it could be that you have combination skin, which is oily at the T zones and dry at other areas.

Proactive works really well for problems like acne because it helps to dry out the acnes fast. I dont think you should be using Proactive now since your skin feels dry. Try a good moisturizer that will help to replenish your moisture in your skin. I recommend Nivea moisturizer for day time use. It's light and won't feel too greasy, it has a nice refreshing scent and keeps you hydrated for 24 hours.

Alternately, at night, use a good night cream to help moisturize your skin as well as repairing your skin while you sleep. I suggest Nivea's night cream with Q10plus. It helps to regenerate your skin and keep it moisturized and supple.

If your skin is dry, I suggest for you to change your facial cleanser too. Get a gentle cream cleanser for dry skin instead. I suggest Clinique's Comforting Cream Cleanser to remedy your dry skin. Normal cleansers might tend to dry out your skin further. Clinique's is specially formulated for dry skin.

Also, drink more water. Hydrate yourself with lots of fluids to keep your skin smooth and supple. At least 8-10 glasses of water each day. Drink your water periodically so the water is well absorbed into your body. Avoid drinking coffee and tea. They make your skin more dehydrated.

Get a moisturizing facial mask to replenish lost moisture on your face. Use it about 2 times in a month. I recommend a good facial mask like Nivea's Pampering Honey Mask. Leaves your face fully moisturized after usage.

I hope these beauty tips have helped you. I know by following these tips, you can achieve that beautiful supple skin again. Good luck in caring for your skin. For more beauty secrets, please go to http://beauty-tyrant.blogspot.com/2007/03/7-steps-to-beautiful-radiant-face.html

Answer 6

For The changes in the climate can be really harsh on dry skin. Especially during winters, dry skin gets flaky and dehydrated. Moisturizer, it's the most tricky skin care product to get for someone with dry skin. A good moisturizer for dry skin should have antioxidants, contains no skin-irritants and shouldn't lead to break-out.In these types of skin conditions I normally use Proactiv Green Tea Moisturizer from proactiv. Really it works!

Answer 7

Proactiv is a good product and the makers of it have come up with other skin care products to help your skin feel and look better. The Roller - I started using mine and love the feel of my skin. After using the Roller I apply the night serum - nice and rich, then I apply the night time moisturizer, my skin feels AWESOME!! The Roller conditions the skin, increases firmness, elasticity, minimizes the appearance of pores and more https://iisaac.myrandf.com/

Answer 8

Vitamin C Serum. Because of this essential association between collagen formation (which slows substantially with aging, especially in your skin) and vitamin C, researchers considered it may possibly be a beneficial thought to see if applying it topically as an eye serum might have some benefit. And this was particularly so offered the identified simple fact that vitamin C ranges decrease in skin as one gets older.

Answer 9

Yes, You are right. It's obvious when the weather will change it will surely effect on skin. But you can also try natural products for skin which are not harmful for the skin and very effective.

Answer 10

proactive is designed to dry your skin if you have acne ...so it will just make it worse, and maybe cause you to over produce oil.
Buy a gentle face wash, toner and moisturizer with SPF....if their is any alcohol in your face products this will make it worse to because alcohol dries the skin...but for some reason they use it most creams....go figure.
