My skin type...?

Question

I have fair skin that is dry yet oily around my nose. I have LOTS of blackheads all around and on my nose and a few ones on my chin that are soooo hard to extract. I use St. Ive's Exfoliator but it makes my skin and dry and peely. I've been using a Dove Moisturizing Night time bar on my face but still have an occasional massive zit on my chin or cheeks. I tend to get some small acne (un-popable) though around my eyebrows...

What should I use because the Dove bar doesn't seem to work very well...
And what:
moisturizer
foundation
face wash
scrub

Answer 1

You should not use St Ive's Exfoliator. It is very drying and not good for your skin. The Dove is also bad. I bought it, and my skin is seriously dry from it.

I bought my skincare products from www.ifeelprettyproducts.com. You can buy the samples first. Email the owner of the web site, Kim. She's very responsive, and she'll guide you in the right directions on how to clear your skin problem.

Answer 2

Very similar to my type of skin. If you have a bath and body works near you or like to do some online shopping try CO Bigelow face care. There is a great clay mask for black heads and face care systems that are amazing. I love it and would definitely recommend anything.

Answer 3

I like cetaphil moisturizing bars for my face. I use Clinique moisturizing gel, and the liquid to powder foundation compact. I don't use scrubs on my face, because they're too irritating - the cetaphil and a washcloth work well enough and don't irritate the skin. For spot treatments, I use neutrogena's on the spot, but be careful not to get it on your clothes, because it will bleach them.

Answer 4

Clinique 3-step system. Works for me and their customer service assistants at the counter can tell you your skin type. For blackheads, I love Mary Kay's Microdermabrasion Set. If you want something other than over the counter thats tailored specifically for you, see your dermatologist. ...You also dont say what age you are...that can actually matter. You may grow out of it.

Answer 5

To clean your skin use Purpose, it's incredibly gentle. You don't have to use a chemical exfoliator, you can use a buff puff with out anything on it. For moisturizing I would use a little dab Cetaphil, or vaseline. That's what I use.

Answer 6

Johnson clean and clear benzoyl perizide acne wash, olay definity moisturizer, aveeno skin brightening scrub, pur minerals foundation. I have similar skin and these things work good for me. Good Luck!

Answer 7

i know someone who broke out every time he touched his face. maybe some adverse reaction to his own natural oils. everyone's different.

you could i suppose try Proactiv. jessica simpson aside, i hear it really does work well.

or, try a natural approach. someone told me blood cleansers help with acne. by that I mean things like garlic. don't know why clean blood cleans skin, but that person was pretty knowledgeable. she gave me special drops for cleansing the blood, and people told my my skin improved.
