Skin Care products?

My face is sensitive to alot of products so I am looking for some natural products i suppose.

1. What do I need to maintain good skin I have and keep brown spots from coming. I do get in the sun and tan every now and then and want a good cleanser, toner I guess, and Lotion, and something to remove brown spots and wrinkles or to keep them from coming? PLease give me a good regimine to use and what products would be good.

Thanks

A sunblock would be very useful in preventing brown spots

Re: Skin Care products?

Dear ShaneA655,

First let me be up front, I do have a site that promotes natural skin care products. But, there are some things you should do before spending your money on any skin care products. Look at your daily skin care routine.

How many times do you wash your skin a day? You should at least wash your skin twice a day. Pure water works fine for your body. You should use a moisturizing soap for your face, under arms and groin area. Don't use an antibacterial soap or cleanser - they will dry your skin.

Be sure you drink plenty of clean, filtered water. Healthy skin needs hydration from the inside as well as out. Right after coming out of the shower, before you completely dry your skin, apply a moisturizing cream or lotion to your skin. This helps to lock in moisture already on the skin.

Don't smoke, it causes wrinkles & dehydrates your skin.

Since you like to be in the sun and tan, you will continue to have problems with your brown spots. Like mutti said in the post, you need to use a sunblock that has an SPF rating of 15 or higher.

Some skin care companies have a moisturizer & sun block combined. Others keep them separate. Since you have sensitive skin, you might want to keep them separate. Many moisturizers contain antioxidants that help repair the skin and provide a little bit of natural sunblock.

If you limit your sun exposure, you should look for a whitening cream to help with the brown spots.

If you would like more detailed skin info, look at my bio for my site. Hope that helps you a little.

Re: Skin Care products?

I have just tried a new natural product and it works great for my sensitive skin. It is a new product that I found through a friend. The skin cream has pure virgin coconut oil in it and I have read that it helps to lighten spots on the skin (in addition to many other benefits). I don't think this cream is in stores yet, it is new to Canada, but I absolutely love how my skin looks and feels. It is not expensive and I found that a little goes a long way. Good luck with your search!

Re: Skin Care products?

Have you ever tried using products from Clinique. All of them are allergy tested and 100% fragance free. I have fairly sensitive skin and I been using more and more of their products lately with no problems.

Re: Skin Care products?

I can recommend Skin Actives and Garden of Wisdom for natural products I'm sure there are many more but those are the two I've bought products from and been very pleased with. Clinique is not an all natural skincare line although they do have unscented skincare. Getting a tan is the quickest way to age the skin and get those little brown spots, always wear a sunscreen and if you want the tanned look I would suggest you use a fake tan lotion.

Re: Skin Care products?

I used to use Philosophy skin care lines, was good, but now I see they have this New foaming face wash, and I want to start all over again with Philosophy, but the prices scares me now!!! I was on the Lush skin care kick, but kicked them outta my life, They dont last as long as other products.

Antioxidants have great effects to the skin, as too it has great effects to the body when eaten. There's a lot of discovery of all these fruits and how they have antioxidants and turned them into drinks and so on. I found a product called ageless and it has so many different antioxidants that help your skin, i actually tried it myself and I'm amazed how good it works, it doesn't just help wrinkles but makes your skin tone a lot better... Other then that I do eat a lot of fruits to that have antioxidants and drink a lot of water.

Re: Skin Care products?

Everyone has given good advice...natural is the way to go. Antibacterial soaps and ones that have fragrances are horrible for your face, they have harsh chemicals in them and dry out your face. I purchase my skin care products from Siena Soap Company. They are all natural, organic and very moisturizing. I have noticed a significant difference in my skin in a very positive way. If you google "Siena Soap Company" you'll find the website is the first one listed.
